Edinburgh Music News (EMN)
The Edinburgh Music News magazine and app is a comprehensive, easily navigated source to find out all about local gigs, venues and artists in Edinburgh. It is targeted towards people who would like to attend more gigs but don’t know where to start due to the poor existing promotion of gigs in Edinburgh. The unique feature of my project is the community section which helps to build a better local community of music fans. Highlights of the app include loyalty rewards and artist pages with social media and streaming links to help increase ticket sales and interest in local music.
