We were lucky to catch up with Jarell Bell recently and have shared our conversation below.

Jarell, appreciate you joining us today. Has Covid resulted in any major changes to your business model?

Honestly Covid actually made things easier, Technology has always changed things but i feel it made it easier with the type of work that we do inside the Industry. Its really a shift in time. Back then, you had to be outside doing “Face to Face” contact with the Consumer, but once “Technology and COVID” hit ; Business and the way we Create,Promote, and Distribute the product evolved into the “Internet”.
I feel it has created more Opportunities than before. The average Consumer is holding some sort of device everyday; Whether it be a Phone, Ipod, Ipad, Tablet, Laptop, etc. Everything is literally now more at arms reach and those with ideas and the ability to create who are savvy enough end up creating new business models based off of ideas being planned with free time earned through out Covids Quarantine!

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Cobb Cartel Music Group.LLC is a Marietta,Ga based Digital Independent Brand,Label, and Music Group that started around March 1st, 2021. Familiar with the Music Industry; We formed our entity to not just create and do business; But to find new ways to connect with the audience in which we are presented. We focus on creating and diversifying our sound hoping to expand through out all genres of music for listeners of all ages to be able to connect and relate to what they would like to hear. Moving foward our Brand will not only focus on creating a new way to do business in the Music Industry but a new way for the artist to be comfortable expressing there creativity while learning to do business in the field we represent.

To all who are wondering we chose the name Cobb Cartel because a Cartel consist of a group of participants/individuals who collude with each other to raise profits and dominate the market intended to set out in. Our market being music; work amongst each other as a collectives to inspire and influence those who believe they cannot reach their full potential in a corporate infrastructure. Our business model is derived off of organization, which is why we have incorporated Organized Mindz Ent into our Brand. We do not set out to portray or be anything but true to ourselves and the business/content we create.

Okay – so how did you figure out the manufacturing part? Did you have prior experience?

Yes! Im very hands on with everything that i do. Prior to the start up process of launching my Brand i learned along the way and kept feeding myself Knowledge! Practicing Over time it became a “Hobby” and with every learning curve i saw “Growth” so i continued to challenge myself everyday; I haven’t learned everything though, I grow with time but the experience is amazing.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

Spamming! As well As Ads! At the start of everything when i would launch a “Product”, I would get on Facebook, Instagram and any other Platform and post my Content; Non*stop until it locked down the News Feed.
It was a form of Promotion most do not use. I would post so much of my Content to where i didn’t see other peoples Content on all platforms so that the Audience had no choice but to (See and Here) the Product!
