Fanbase Mobile launches at CTIA

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Today AgencyNet and Atlantic Records launched Fanbase Mobile, a version of Atlantic’s award winning Fanbase application for Flash Lite enabled handsets. As part of the launch Rob Thomas is showcasing the app during the Billboard Music Keynote at CTIA and he was interviewed about the app by CNBC.

“It is really about you and your favorite music, being able to have in the palm of your hand everything that has to do with the artists. Straight access to the music, to wallpaper, to lyrics to different videos. The content in real time can be updated as many times as you want.”

Connecting Fans with Bands

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

I was invited by Adobe to talk at their 2008 Max designer/developer conference as part of a new track of sessions geared towards business and strategy. My presentation was entitled “Connecting Fans with Bands” and is now available on Adobe TV. The video has the audio from the presentation overlaid on top of my Powerpoint slides. The presentation discussed all the ways we are using Adobe technology to promote our artists and bring them closer to their fans than has ever been possible before. I talk specifically about our multi-screen Fanbase platform, games, and our strategy for artist’s websites.

Adobe MAX 2008

Monday, November 24th, 2008

I’ve had a few days to recoup from lack of sleep after Adobe’s MAX 2008 conference and wanted to recap the amazing experience I had at the conference, as well as share the involvement Atlantic had at MAX.

Max 2008 Keynote

On Monday we had our Flash Lite application Fanbase Mobile shown on stage by Kevin Lynch, the CTO of Adobe, in front of the press and a few throusand of our peers. Below is a video of our contribution to the keynote.

Fanbase Mobile

Beyond the keynote we had Fanbase running on both a Nokia N95 as well as a Blackjack II. It great to see it running on a few devices and get an idea of how it might scale across an entire product line using Flash Lite.

On Tuesday, I tended to the Adobe partner booth and answered questions about the Fanbase AIR application for a few hours. It was great to get to talk to consumers and developers about the application and about Adobe’s AIR platform.

Sessions

In addition to the special conference events both Paul Sinclair (SVP of Digital Media) and I gave sessions. Paul was on a panel talking about the Open Screen Project from Adobe, which is an inititative to provide a consistent runtime and user experience across devices.

I also gave my own session on Tuesday “Atlantic Records: Connecting Fans with Bands”. I talked in depth about our new product plan around two key Atlantic artists, showing a full range of new media projects used to promote new releases.
