The **Audience** engine inside the DistroVibe Marketing Hub functions as a dedicated music CRM, allowing artists and record labels to aggregate, segment, and mobilize their listener base directly from one centralized workspace.

By unifying direct-to-fan touchpoints, Audience eliminates scattered spreadsheets and pairs directly with **Fan Broadcast** to turn passive listeners into active campaign subscribers.

### Data Points Collected

Depending on fan opt-ins and authorization levels, the Audience dashboard compiles rich listener records, including:

* Full name & direct email address

* Geographic territory (Country & City level)

* Age and demographic markers

* Social handles and profile links

* Connected Spotify user data and platform listening preferences

### How Fans Enter Your Database

Audience lists grow through both automated campaign captures and direct dashboard imports:

* **Automated SmartLink Subscriptions:** When fans pre-save an upcoming release or follow your smart link via `distrovi.be`, they can opt in directly on the landing page. Their contact details and streaming platform identifiers sync automatically to your Audience database.

* **Direct Manual Entry:** Add individual fans, VIPs, or direct industry contacts individually via **Add Subscriber**.

* **Bulk Contact Import:** Upload existing email lists, concert ticket purchaser data, or webstore customer exports in bulk via CSV.

### How to Access & Manage Audience Contacts

1. Log into your **DistroVibe Dashboard**.

2. From the main sidebar, open the **Marketing Hub**.

3. Select **Fan Broadcast** and switch to the **Audience** tab.

4. Click **Add Subscriber** to register individual fans manually, or run a bulk CSV import to merge external databases.
