One Direction in your shoe

For the young British band “One Direction”, New Music Labs came up with a promo concept: simply put a little gift for the band in your shoe, upload a picture of it and in return the band will provide you with a new song and a goody-package. The idea came from the Dutch tradition of celebration ‘Sinterklaas’ on December 5th. Learn more about it and watch the video here.

New Music Labs was involved in organizing the ‘Interactive Programm’ at Noorderslag 2012 in Groningen.

Giglocker Iphone app

New Music Labs is close to finishing a new app for the Iphone to keep track of all the amazing bands you’ve seen: the Giglocker.
Giglocker will find you concerts in your area and gives you the ability to ‘lock’ them when you visite them. You attach pictures, reviews, videos and ratings to your locked gig. Ofcourse you can also share your gigs on facebook or twitter with your friends.

Anna Calvi Facebook App

We compiled a very cool Facebook App for Anna Calvi. A great tool to reach fans en let them help the artist to get her music heard.
Before we did something similar for Within Temptation and the response was great. Within two days there were already 12.000 people sharing their video on their Facebook wall.
Do you want to know more about Facebook Apps, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Everything = M*rk*t*ng

Next week New Music Labs is going to London to do a presentation at Un-Convention Factory titled Everything = M*rk*t*ng. We’ll also be giving free pancakes to everyone who has an idea how to break Dutch band BlackboxRed in the UK. Looking forward to it!
