RadioIO Acquires CrowdStream to Bolster Artists' Ability to Monetize With RadioIO
April 30 2014 - 3:06PM
Radioio, Inc. (OTCQB:RAIO) today announced its acquisition of the
mobile application business of Crowdstream Inc. Through this
acquisition, RadioIO will strengthen its relationship with artists
and their fans. The purchase price consisted of RadioIO common
stock and cash.
CrowdStream, a free mobile app that enhances the event
experience and creates additional revenue streams for artists,
allows fans attending live events to use social media and mobile
technology to connect with each other and interact with artists
during those events. CrowdStream enables artists to engage
with their fans when they're most excited: while they're at the
show. Fans are able to interact with other fans at the event, and
can win various prizes through the app, ranging from signed
merchandise to meet & greets with the artist. In-app purchases
of tickets and merchandise, and ad hoc sales, music downloads and
fan club memberships, create additional artist revenue.
"RadioIO is delighted to acquire a business which was
established to help artists engage and monetize their fan base in
new and creative ways," stated RadioIO COO Julia Miller.
CrowdStream has powered mobile engagement for over 150 artists,
including Mötley Crüe, Neon Trees, Shinedown, and The
Wanted. RadioIO plans to expand the offering to more artists
and continue to develop additional tools to connect fans and
artists.
"Our vision has always been to connect artists with fans in
meaningful ways, both online and offline," said Crowdstream, Inc.
CEO Brian Bason. "By joining RadioIO, a company that shares
our vision, our combined offering will build deeper relationships
with the artists and fans we love. We are thrilled to be a part of
this team and can't wait to see what we can build together."
