New Mobile App Leverages Augmented Reality and Game Dynamics to Give Artists an Experience-Driven Platform to Find New Fans.
Today from its home base in the Pacific Northwest, Hipster Bait is expanding its location-based music discovery app into California and Nevada with over 9,000 new virtual locations to hide music in. It’s a free app on iOS and Android that sends fans out into the real world to hunt down and capture unreleased, exclusive music using augmented reality and location-based technology.
Michael Tension, Co-Founder of Hipster Bait shares, “It’s great to see people getting into the game—especially rehiding music in new places. Each location is a game piece. So when our players get excited about taking Bait into the hidden gems of their city, we’re co-creating the game. We’ve already added 155 of the best locations. On the flip side, it’s great to hear from artists that can’t wait to release more music with us.”

Many of these artists have reported an increase in referral traffic to their streaming platforms and social media.

They have the second most employed musicians and its music accounts for 14% of the entire country’s music-related GDP. The audience potential of almost 40 million further increases value for artists with added mailing list subscribers, song ratings, and location-based insights to plan tours post-COVID-19.
