March was action-packed! Our database got bigger, our team got stronger and our page got a brand new look! Cool new features, countless amazing experiences and huge recognition from music superstars. Here’s a sneak peek into the important steps we made last month!

What those “scary” numbers have to say

In March, we welcomed eight incredibly talented minds to our team. Our database team reviewed more than 150,000 entries. On an average day, new artists, venues and events were added by users from 66 countries. And we are proud to announce that the entry success rate increased to 63%. Good job, users.

Viberate got an amazing response on social media. Our Twitter profile was visited by 258,000 users. More than 110,000 posts about Viberate were shared on social media, and let’s not forget about the 26% user growth in our VIB token group.

The HOTTEST stars are hooked on Viberate

It’s extremely gratifying to get recognition from The Chainsmokers, one of the hottest duos out there. They joined other huge stars like Robbie Williams, Showtek, Dj Bl3nd, Noisia, Enter Shikari and many others that are already using our platfrom, and we couldn’t be prouder.

Attention, party seekers

Now music fans and party seekers can explore a number of new venues and events around the world. Just last month, we added 5,000 new clubs to our database. It seems most of the users are fans of electronic, rock and pop music.

What else catches our eye?

The YouTube rising star of the month is definitely Bad Bunny — on #2 with 400 million views this month. That is just 30 million less than the long-time number one Ed Sheeran.

Numbers don't lie, but to stay ahead of the curve it’s essentials to focus on community growth and to connect with the big players in the music industry, so lets go down to business.

From London to Miami

We were incredibly lucky to join the world’s top 1,000 most influential decision makers at ILMC, one of the biggest conferences for the live music industry, where we had some big and productive meetings with game-changing players, including United Talent Agency and Ticketmaster.

Viberate gang at The Cookout: DJ UMEK, Vasja Veber, Matic Magister

We hosted an exclusive party at The Cookout in Miami — one of the biggest music events out there! Viberate got a lot of attention from both slaying artists and other music pros, including some industry giants.

They did it again

In the middle of the month, our product and development department delivered a nice upgrade to our platform. The new look offers a completely personalized user experience. One of the most welcome additions is the Spotlight, as it makes it possible for the users to enjoy streaming music video previews.

Another milestone achieved

And just a few weeks later, they did it again. Now, for the first time in history, event organizers got a place where they can show their work and let everyone see what they’ve been up to. A huge bonus for artists and venues alike, as they are all given equal opportunities to be spotted.

But that is just the beginning. Our plans for the future are big. The entire team is fully committed to delivering something incredible by the end of the year. Can’t wait to tell you more about it.
