Creative Execution

We created the service from scratch and launched it to the world. One agency did everything—from branding, to UX and interface design, to a major above-the-line marketing campaign that included TV, outdoor, events, print, digital, and social.

The Beats Music App became the #1 music app in iTunes on the first day of launch. Thousands of mentions in the press, millions of social media impressions, and incredible reviews in the music and tech press. Beats Music is well on its way to become the dominant player in the space. Try the app for yourself and you’ll see that it achieves its objectives—the app does provide intelligent recommendations and personalize music more successfully and consistently than any of it’s algorithm-only competition.

Streaming music services lack heart. Algorithms aren’t enough to fix the problem, and deliver people the perfect music for the moment. To do to that you need people driven by a passion for music. That was the brief Jimmy Iovine and Trent Reznor gave us—design a revolutionary new service combining human curation and technology, and create a new way to experience music. And, once it’s built, launch it to a mass U.S. market.
