Audiokite has already  been integrated into ReverbNation&#8217;s existing Crowd Review product, a  popular service for artists on ReverbNation.com.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We believe that adding Audiokite&#8217;s world-class research platform to our  industry-first Curation-at-scale capability positions ReverbNation at  the cutting edge of both artist identification and new music discovery,&#8221;  said Simon Perry, Chief Creative Officer and Head of A&amp;R at  ReverbNation.  &#8220;Artists love getting feedback from music fans on their  work, and now that Crowd Review is being powered by Audiokite, we expect  the product to continue to grow. Simultaneously, we look forward to  engaging the millions of fans who come to ReverbNation.com each month to  provide feedback for our artists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Built in 2014 by Alex Jae Mitchell and Dave Marcello, Audiokite research  has verified more than 10,000 high-quality reviewers \u2013 music superfans  in the U.S. &#8211; who have answered over 500,000 surveys on behalf of  thousands of musicians and labels from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We couldn&#8217;t be more excited to join the team at ReverbNation, as it&#8217;s  one of the only music technology companies that shares our artist-first  ethos, and certainly the most significant in terms of scale,&#8221; said Mr.  Mitchell.  &#8220;Dave and I quickly realized that our vision of how to best  leverage the wisdom of crowds was totally aligned with ReverbNation&#8217;s,  and we&#8217;re looking forward to executing against this shared vision for  the benefit of artists and industry alike.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> ReverbNation CEO, Michael Doernberg added, &#8220;Alex and Dave have built a  fantastic product, and their commitment to building innovative and  forward-thinking products fits perfectly within our culture. This  acquisition goes far beyond simply offering a better crowdsourcing  product, we also expect the addition of Audiokite to elevate our  industry offerings to record labels, music festivals, synch  opportunities, and brands.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\">Source: <\/span><span class=\"normal\">ReverbNation<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ReverbNation, the company that has helped millions of emerging artists advance their careers, announced that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6278\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
