Myxer has launched MobileStage, what they say is the “most comprehensive mobile marketing suite available to the music industry,” featuring a music application distribution service for iPhone, BlackBerry and Android platforms. As part of the package, artists get:
- Enhanced mobile websites
- Mobile fanlist management and messaging
- Advanced data analytics
- Promotional initiatives based on location and touring routes
- And, for independent artists, A&R opportunities with some of the industry’s top music management professionals
In addition, as part of its distribution service, Myxer will promote artist apps to its user base of nearly 30 million customers.
For the record, the company currently works with more than 100,000 artists, from independent ones to some of the industry’s biggest names. Several new features are planed in the coming months, including full-track downloads, streaming audio and video, links to artist merchandise outposts, concert ticket purchase options and a broader application distribution service.
