Sonicbids: Music Contest Site
Sonicbids helps bands get gigs and helps promoters book the right bands. And it brings value to brands by allowing them to engage with customers and associate their brands with the 200,000 independent artists in Sonicbids' stable. Sonicbids needed support creating a platform for its branded marketing, which we built and launched in August. This site, for an international retailer, was used for an employee recruitment and retention program and had the added benefit of attracting employees' friends and family to the store for the excitement. The allowed people to find bands by genre or geography, preview their music, download a full track and vote for bands they liked. The site ran for about a month, tallying up votes for the audiences' favorite band which, in the end, performed for the employees at internal events. The site was built on Microsoft .NET, using Sonicbid's internal API to access its data.
