For over 30 years, A to Z Media has helped artists and labels turn music into physical media that fans actually want to hold, play, and collect. In our Making Stuff Up series, we sit down with artists, designers, marketers, label managers, and creative partners who inspire us by pushing the boundaries of what vinyl records, CDs, and merch can be. 🎶❤️🔥
In this feature, we speak with Sam Weisenthal (), Marketing Manager at , about how the label connects fans to music through custom vinyl and merch, from limited-edition colored vinyl to a plushie collaboration for Mei Semones’ debut album. In the conversation, Sam shares how thoughtful packaging, collectible formats, and one-of-a-kind merch can transform an album release into a tangible experience that fans remember.
