The Challenge:

  • Usability Issues: The Artist 360 Admin interface was difficult to use causing frustration, among users and slowing down work processes.

  • Data Accessibility: Important details about artists were spread out in sections posing a challenge for teams to get a picture.

  • Feature Gaps: Inadequate search options and limited visibility, into artist actions made it hard to make decisions.

Our users:

  • Artist Managers are, in charge of managing artist's profiles coordinating their releases and ensuring visibility, for the artists.

  • Label Representatives focus on managing artist rosters tracking their performance and working closely with Apple Music teams.

  • Marketing Teams use artist data to plan campaigns and engage with audiences strategically.

Solution:

  • We revamped the structure of information to make it easier to navigate and highlight details.

  • Global Artist Search tool provides a search function, with filters and sorting options for effortless artist exploration and access to information like location, timezone and history.

  • The Unified Artist Dashboard merges statistics, performance data and activity timelines into a hub for quick insights, at a glance.

  • Additionally we established a design language and component repository through our Design System Implementation to maintain consistency and scalability throughout the platform.

Result:

  • Tangible Enhancements:

    • Search time reduced by 25%.

    • Total operations cost decreased by 27%.

    • Click rate, on Artist 360 Admin dropped by 40%.

  • User Perception: Surveys revealed an uptick in satisfaction, productivity and trust in the platform.

  • Business Outcome: The revamp facilitated artist integration, enhanced teamwork and data informed choices, at Apple Music.

Here are the next steps and lessons we've learned:

  • We will keep refining the GAS feature by integrating search algorithms and machine learning to achieve accurate results.

  • We're also looking into ways to enhance data visualization in the artist dashboard to showcase insights and trends.

  • Continuously conducting user research to uncover challenges and determine which improvements should take priority in iterations.
