Hey All,
I'm doing a MA in Creative Digital media at the moment, and soon it shall be major project time. So I was thinking of developing an app/website that could help in the promotion of gigs/labels/artists etc.
Here's where you lot come in. I have a few vague ideas, but to get a more solid grasp on what would work, be useful It'd be great to hear what you feel the biggest problems with promoting a gig/label etc. are.
Obviously Thumped does a great job at this already, so I'd be looking at some thing other than a forum (or if it all works out well, collaboration? eh petey? )
Some of the ideas I have: some sort of location based phone jobby, that you could let friends know where you are, check in at gigs upload pics (and all the usual old gubbins), that would feed in to a website, thus creating a 'top ten' of gigs/ artists etc.
The idea being that hard working bands/labels would place higher and get more recognition for their hard work, while fans would be rewarded with being a 'top fan' or some such. Labels and artists would have complete control over their page and could offer rewards.
I think it could serve as a good way of finding out who the good bands are in an area (especially if you're new to the area), and also help fill venues.
Anyways, thats about the gist of it. It's still in an early stage, any input would me much appreciated.
Apologies if there are too many buzz words !ninjaaaa
Cheers
