Project Apollo

Omar Apollo represents a modern-day success story, from Soundcloud, to not being able to afford the $30 to get his song on Spotify. One generous friend later, his music finally got the credit it deserved and he was able to start his career. His brand has now grown to 400K on Instagram and he’s sold over 45K tickets for his recent tour. Rising and established musicians need a media workspace to centralise their creative content, in order to be reactive on socials and satisfy their fanbase. A MAM tool allows artists and their team to manage content access and approvals, as well as giving them an easy way to collect content from freelance photographers and fans all along any tour.

Omar Apollo used ScorePlay’s platform during his Desvelado tour, centralising and classifying all the media assets that were gathered from each tour stop. Venue to venue. Photographer to photographer. Apollo’s media team uploaded content they shot and edited while on tour via FTP, as well as using our collection link feature so local photographers could easily upload to the platform. ScorePlay also allowed all these photographers to credit themselves on each asset for seamless collaboration with Apollo’s media team and get the acclaim they deserve on socials.

Thanks to our of artificial intelligence, every support act who joined along the way could be easily added to the platform so assets could be automatically distributed to them. Deb Never, Tora-i and Niko Rubio all got their assets directly on their Artist App, so they could promote their appearances on socials. ScorePlay showed that it can be a valuable tool to musicians, management companies and labels alike. The basic features used optimised all their workflows, and there is still scope to use our unique link-in-bio to collect fan content, as well as use our marketplace to monetise content.

What do they all have in common? They know the power of a brand, and how to amplify it with the use of content and digital assets. Singers are judged on streams and listens, and experiences have changed. Going to see your favourite artist on tour is no longer just about the moment, but about the clips fans post on their story, the shots that make it to their posts, and most importantly, interacting with their musical idol online after the show. The majority of artist’s revenue comes through touring. And therein lies the importance of a strong brand and identity. To be Invincible 🎶

Omar Apollo knows it. Labels know it. Do you?
