Featurin.gs (Switzerland)
www.featurin.gs
Featurings is the first cloud based music/video collaboration platform
which allows artists (singers/beatmakers/videomakers) to share & remix
their works legally on the basis of creative commons licenses.
In order to boost their audience and increase their fans' engagement,
artists may organize featurings or remix contests on their Facebook page.
Featurings is therefore a useful tool to spot new talents and a powerful
social marketing tool which allows artists to build their audience upon the
audience of others in a viral way and/or to create their own music videos &
share them on social networks.
The revenue model is threefold:
1. After a certain level of recognition, artists may monetize their
sounds/videos or submit featurings/remix contests to a participation fee.
2. Brands are able to buy advertisement space or to place their products
within the music videos available on the platform.
3. Featurin.gs works as a non-exclusive publisher for synchronization
licenses.
25% of these revenues flows to Featurin.gs.
