Music

Universal Music Group

UMG wanted to uplift the creativity and effectiveness of their artist websites

Six years of creative, websites, E-commerce, and digital for over 60% of UMG artists, bands and music labels. Based on our bespoke platfrom, this entailed working with artists (up-and-coming, established and global superstars) to create the website and experience they wanted

Websites were usually on a per album basis - The unexpected sign of approval was when artists came back with a new album to promote 

Case study coming soon

Music Mini Social Networks

With the rise of social netwoks, UMG wanted a better way to let global fans celebrate their favourite music artists

Using our MU website platform as a basis, we developed an additional tier, to let fans around the world join the Mini Social Network part of the website

Meet the Band

Music labels recognised the opportunity of creating meet sessions with fans, in tandem with concerts and international tours

To let fans have the chance to meet their idols, I designed the Meet The Band booking system that was used in conjuction with UK and global tours

Music artists and festivals

Glastonbury

The Glastonbury organisers wanted a new web design agency, and one that would help with their on-the-day needs

We were engaged to make website updates in the run up to the much loved annual event. Working on-site at the festival, we made last-minutes changes live-and-direct from the VIP area and muddy Glastonbury fields

Ford Transit

Ford wanted to celebrate the versatility of the Transit Van, and show why it is the backbone of Britain

We designed a promotional website with livecasts, where our Transit van toured the UK, and transported up-and-coming music artists who performed impromptu gigs from the back of the van (artists including a soon to make it big Ed Sheeran)

McFly Super City

McFly wanted a cutting-edge website that would also let them build a sense of community

We designed a fully interactive, and futuristic immersive website with paywall subscriber area. Each band member had their own unique room, activitites and live video area to host chats with superfans

CMS and media streaming

MU Music Artist Website Platform

UMG wanted to standardise their widespread digital infrastructure, and gain control of making updates themselves

We created the MU website CMS platform, which gave UMG a digital platform baseline to work with, and enabled artists + management to create their defacto web experiences

Case study coming soon

UMG Media Players

UMG needed a temporary media player, so they could include video and audio media on their websites and advertising

Working with CDNs, I designed the streaming media set up, as well as brandable audio, video players, playlists and pay walls. This ended up being adopted by the majority of UMG artists and bands for the next few years

Case study coming soon
