Capstone Project For ARTSADMN 475

Problem Statement

How might we improve connections between artists and local communities that benefit both parties and consumers?

Our Mission

Soundlink strengthens the Ann Arbor music community by making it easy for local artists and businesses to connect, collaborate, and create meaningful opportunities.

What We Provide

We can provide an engagement boost for artists and businesses in the local community, increasing their audience and revenue. For the community we can provide events and discovery of artists or businesses they might not have known before. We are the connecting force between local artists and business, paring the two together based on perceived compatibility and events and partnerships between the two being implemented by us.

Customer Value Proposition

We are a service that is focused on connecting musicians to different opportunities. Our competitive advantage is that we offer personalized services with “experts” who have established connections with local businesses and artists in the Ann Arbor area.
