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
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 the bespoke 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
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
Television, video and adverts
Discovery Networks
A family of satellite / cable channels wanted improved digital design for their channel listings
Website design for television channels and TV listings
Viacom Brand Solutions
Viacom had various television, website advertising and internal needs
Internal projects and advertising sales tools that embraced the ground-breaking personalities of channels like MTV, VAVA, Nick and Comedy Central
JJ Stereo
This film and motion media agency wanted a cleaner way to showcase their various categories of film projects
Using a grid-based structure, we designed their new website and CMS, with emphasis on putting the video front-and-centre
