Key challenges faced

Great art, limited reach.

Content was offline-only, reach was local and there was no way to earn from recordings.

  • Inability to monetize previously created art content
  • Limited reach of art content to a global audience, as it was restricted to offline events
  • Insufficient consumption of art content due to the lack of an online presence across multiple platforms
