We’ve been launching so many new sites in the last couple weeks it’s been hard to keep up. Today we launched a site for Ryan Star, and sites for new Atlantic artists Cody Simpson and Hope last week. Ryan and Hope were designed by Amy Stein, and Cody Simpson was designed by Edith Levin. And as always congrats to the Atlantic and WMG production teams for getting these sites live.
Today Atlantic launched our first round of mobile websites in conjunction with our partners at Adobe. We launched 8 artist’s sites targeting Android 2.2 and Flash 10.1, with iPhone and iPod Touch coming later this month. This is a launch we were very proud to be a part of, and a project will be iterating on in weeks to come.
I’ll be posting more infomation on our new sites in the next few weeks, everything from getting started in mobile web development to Flash 10.1 specific issues.
Special thanks to Mike Mignano and Rob Beatty on my team at Atlantic Records for their continued help on this project.
Check out the press release here.
Check out my quote below:
“Flash gives us another great avenue to deliver music and videos to our fans on mobile devices, and beyond. Scale is key for us and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 allows us to create a great mobile experience, using content we already have, and familiar tools. We have already optimized some of our most popular artists’ websites for Flash 10.1 and are working to deliver new ones each week.”

Today we launched a social media campaign using Twitter to promote the preorder for the new 3OH!3 album Streets of Gold. Fans who tweet a link to the preorder page get their Twitter avatar displayed on the 3OH!3 homepage. Fans can Tweet as many times as they want, and only get pushed off the homepage as other people Tweet the link. Fans visiting the preorder page can also watch a preview of the 3OH!3 Mockumentary DVD included in the bundle.
A picture of the panel I was on at NARM 2010 showed up in Billboard Magazine this week. I’ve been interviewed by Billboard before but have never seen my picture in print without knowing about it beforehand. While this may only be interesting to my friends and family, I wanted to post it here for posterity.
