the music cloud
DESCRIPTION
As a part of the course Media Production at KTH, my team was assigned to come up with a new business idea on how to reshape the music industry. In this role play we were holding the "consumers" perspective and had to argue from their point of view. After conducting an online survey, we came up with a new service, called "the music cloud".TRANSCRIPT
