Brands use tech, design, and art to create curated multi-media playlists

Trend - Music platforms are looking to diversify the listening experience with new tech and design-forward features. This move is intended to keep consumers engaged with a multi-sensory experience that is captivating in regards to graphics, content, or mixed-reality properties.

Insight - The age of multi-media is grounds for consumer expectations directed at multi-sensory experiences that diversify and enrich everyday life. Engaging only one sense at a time has become a norm of the past as individuals look for products that offer entertainment and relaxation through experiences that embrace immersion. While the personalized experience places emphasis on the consumer desire for curated content, the dynamic features ensure increased engagement rates.
Workshop Question - How might your brand provide multi-sensory immersion for consumers?

3. Virtual Music Experiences - The rise of virtual events on platforms such as Oculus Venues shows the opportunity for a new way to experience music for users.
Industry Implications
