Who is Midtown Radio?

Midtown Radio is a comany is responsible for leveling the playing field for indie artists, which has resulted in our clients having billboard charting records, sync placements in major motion films, and endorsements deals.

Design opportunity

As the leading promotion company for Independent Arist in the United States, Midtown Radio has the potential of becoming a key player in the Major label music industry market. While there is a large conversation rate for Midtown Radio’s phone call conversations, there is a disconnect between the consumption habits of the Gen-Z and Millennials.

Research

The common frustrations were outlined but there were also latent needs that I discovered. Experiencing their research process firsthand as a shadow allowed me to understand the pain porters artists face. A common theme never mentioned in the interview was “ I did not know there were outlets outside of social media
