Starting a Music Revolution
BBC
Digital product launch
The BBC have some of the most respected music presenters and DJs in the world, and wanted to find an effective way to collate their playlists and recommendations in one place.
A major obstacle stood in their way: the BBC isn’t able to sell or stream music. Stereo was brought on board to create a digital music product that would overcome this challenge.

Emotions
The public has a lot of respect for the BBC’s DJs, but were crying out for a way to collate, listen and share the music they recommended. We knew we’d have to host the playlists on streaming services popular in the UK to gain enough traction for Playlister to succeed.
