2. My name is Miranda Zoldan, I am originally from Canton,
Ohio and moved to Denver, Colorado after my sophomore
year of highschool. I spent a year living in Sydney, Australia
after highschool before returning back to school years later. I
have gone through many trials and tribulations in my life and
music was my way out of all of them. I would go to concerts
and shows to get away and I would play instruments and
listen to music to escape when I could not physically do so.
After many years of soul searching, growing, and working
endlessly, I have discovered that I want to create a space for
people to escape through music. I want to discover bands and
artists that will impact the world the way I was impacted. I
want to stay in the small music venue scene and represent
the underground talent that thrives there. I believe that music
is a force of nature and can change the world one song at a
time.

3. PROFESSION
Potential Job Titles:
• Agents and Business Managers for Artists, Performers, and
Athletes
• Entertainment and Recreation Managers
• Music Therapists
BRAND ARCHETYPE - I pride myself on a good work
ethic and an aventurous, alwways curious mindset. This allows me
to work towards my goals with ambition while colnstantly asking
why. Finding why through my curiousity and explorer archetype
always leads to a different way of thuinking and diving into other
points of view. According to astute.com, my explorer brand
archetype means that I desire to have freedom to explore and fear
the feeling of being trapped. This allows me to continously think out
of the box and keep building a brand that exceeds expectations. I
work best in environments that let me work towards my goals in
ways that I see best fits me. This differs from others beacuase I will
approach things in many different ways and will always search for
other views and ideas. I will try to take the path less traveled and
work towards exciting others and lead a fulfilling existence.

14. Miranda Zoldan
You know how artists nowadays seem to be stuck in a box? Well, what I do
is take that box and smash it. In fact, I take small, unknown talent and imbed
them into their local small venues to create a greater impact on people
listening to the artists’ stuck in a box. I take local talent and allow them to
grow in ways they never knew they could all while reaching the local
community in every city.

Methodology:
Forbes valued more than 200 global brands by looking at three years of earnings and allocating a percentage of those earnings based on the role brands play in each industry (e.g., high for luxury goods and beverages, low for airlines and oil companies). We applied the average price-to-earnings multiple over the past three years to these earnings to arrive at the final brand value.
