Their Challenge
Imagine you are trying to find the perfect gift for your favorite music-lover. Their favorite band just dropped a new album and you know it would be the perfect present, but giving them a gift card is boring and CDs are outdated. For a multi-billion-dollar global industry such as the music industry, there are few options to choose from when giving the gift of music.
That’s where Musical Bead comes in! Our client came to us with an idea to make purchasing and sharing music more fun. Instead of giving someone a boring gift card or outdated CD, Musical Bead allows you to gift them a unique and fun way to download their favorite music.
Our Solution
Although the client came to us with an idea, they did not have a clear vision of where their project would go. Along with development, we provided product management services to help them get a clearer idea of their product.
Our Approach
