Introducing experimental growth tools for music artists.
Client
SoundCloud
OPPORTUNITY
As the music industry shifted toward independent creators seeking greater control, SoundCloud saw an opportunity to provide artists with tools to manage their own promotion and monetization efforts. By introducing innovative features, SoundCloud could reinforce its position as a leader in artist empowerment while addressing gaps in the market.
CHALLENGE
Creating tools for a diverse range of artists required balancing functionality with accessibility. The challenge was to develop intuitive, self-serve solutions that catered to both emerging creators and established musicians while integrating seamlessly into SoundCloud’s existing ecosystem.
RESULTS
While Beatshop and Gate were not released as standalone products, the design and insights gained during their development shaped SoundCloud for Artists. This comprehensive suite of tools equips creators with innovative ways to grow their careers and reinforces SoundCloud’s position as a leader in artist empowerment.
