On the heels of its recent debut, XUMANII, the revolutionary LIVE media production, marketing, and social networking site, announced today a partnership with THE 2010 MIAMI MUSIC FESTIVAL & THE URBAN NETWORK. As part of the agreement, XUMANII will produce and broadcast LIVE this amazing 3 day event taking place in various clubs all over Miami to a world-wide audience. Music lovers from all over the world will descend upon the beautiful city of Miami by purchasing a $ 10.00 ‘’digital ticket’’ to see LIVE performance and interviews from some of their favorite artists as well as music hopefuls in Pop, Jazz, Hip Hop, Country, Alternative and R&B music. Viewers will attend music conferences that will feature top A&R executives, producers, music publishing and touring executives, entertainment attorneys, leading technology developers, media and marketing executives, radio program directors, and film music supervisors, advertising executives as well as private events and VIP parties at some of Miami hottest clubs.
‘’To take the 2010 Miami Music Festival global after its first year is amazing…the marketing value and revenue potential is empowering’’, Said Irwin Kornfield owner and event producer of The MMF. He continues, ‘’With XUMANII our participating artists will get world-wide attention during their performances. No other music conference has ever been able to do that… The MMF is making history here in Miami!
Commenting on the alliance, Arthur Mitchell, VP of Urban Network stated, “Streaming online video is the future of live entertainment and XUMANII is leading the way with its cutting edge media production, innovative marketing and advertising capabilities and user generated content vehicle.
When our program director Harold Whaley brought this to my attention for consideration, I could think of no better partner to assist our growth in this area, especially as we look to bring back the Miami Music Festival as one of the largest multi-genre emerging artist and new music festival in the country. And with XUMANII we can present our events and showcases to the world while generating an entirely new and substantial income source. And to be able to do this in today’s economy is nothing short of amazing!’’
‘’Miami was a perfect spot for XUMANII to set up shop in the United States. We are on the lookout for many more partnerships and events like these to be broadcast LIVE on XUMANII from Miami and all over the world,’’ states Tandy Weems, Chief Business Development Officer. “At a time when many events are finding it increasingly difficult to sell tickets, XUMANII offers a way to potentially double or triple revenues by opening their doors to the world via the web. Artists and event organizers can now reach their entire global fan base, selling affordable e-tickets for LIVE streaming concerts and events while adding little additional overhead costs. That’s the power of XUMANII!’’
The Miami Music Festival is schedule for November 12th-14th. For tickets and info: www.miamimusicfestival.org
