With the current social context of Covid-19, Belfast-based creative development company Silverink have designed a live video-streaming platform to cater to the needs of music artists and associated industry. Whilst many artists have adapted to the social platforms such as YouTube and Facebook to stay creative and keep in touch with their fans, their output often suffers from a lack of quality in platform output and methods of monetising. In response, Silverink has developed a quality platform for video live-streaming that integrates e-commerce and ticketing with a focus on fair pay for the creative industries. Fans can now support their music artists through paid access to curated streaming events and shop window options for merchandise and digital downloads. Music industry, management and the artists are offered branded pages and seamless global delivery of high-quality video and audio. Fans can enjoy quality music experience whilst the creative industries suppling the content benefit from the income they deserve through curated streaming events and within a unified digital interface.
