Believe Entertainment Group Plans Original Series on Twitter, "EpicEDM" -Roger Maloney
This is Roger Maloney for Tribl Media insights on MediaBizBloggers.com and for those you who said that Twitter stopped being an innovative platform, while that is about to change for the better, Believe Entertainment Group is bringing a new original series on Twitter called EpicEDM.
I interviewed the founders of Believe Entertainment Dan Goodman and Bill Masterson about their animated show staring LeBron James called The LeBrons which was a huge success with over 9,118,820 views and growing on YouTube. So for their next innovative show they are using the
distribution power of Twitter and producing a new show called EpicEDM which will be a show featuring the top electronic dance music, artists, festival and clubs worldwide. This just proves my point that content is king and social media is the best distribution channel to get quality content to large audiences. So congratulations to Believe Entertainment Group who is one of the new leaders in producing quality content for the social media generation.

New electronic dance music (EDM) digital series and worldwide hub for EDM fans is the first studio originated content series for Twitter, leveraging its latest social innovations
Believe Entertainment Group (BE Group) today announced plans for "EpicEDM," a new, on-going original content series featuring top electronic dance music (EDM) artists, festivals and clubs worldwide that will be the first studio originated content series designed specifically for the Twitter platform. Financed by Believe Entertainment Group and executive produced by studio co-founders Dan Goodman and William H. Masterson III, EpicEDM is slated to premiere in late 2012, exclusively on Twitter.
EpicEDM will be the inside source for all things EDM, from the artists and tours to the world's most exclusive nightclubs and biggest music festivals. The new series will live at @EpicEDM along with a range of new content providing 24/7 EDM insider access. To host this new worldwide hub for EDM and premiere this original content series, Believe Entertainment Group will utilize Twitter's entire Promoted Suite of products, including Twitter's latest innovations, such as interest and geo targeting, allowing EpicEDM to showcase the best content and enable real-time conversations among EDM fans.
"The social media space is at the heart of this massive, global movement, so it made sense to us to curate an EDM series on the same social media platform that continues to fuel its growth," said
Dan Goodman, co-founder, Believe Entertainment Group. "Our approach with Twitter is to own the social engagement around this movement."
"We're building where the EDM community and DJs already intersect to amplify what's happening," said William H. Masterson III, co-founder, Believe Entertainment Group. "The goal is to create a unifying platform for the artists, fans and everyone involved in the EDM explosion that serves as a dedicated place to share the best things happening anywhere, at any given time in the EDM world."
A network of official partners, unofficial friends and user Tweets curated by EpicEDM will bring always-on programming including weekly in-studio video updates and exclusive artist interviews with some of the biggest DJs and producers in the world, access to pre and post-events, contests and ticket giveaways, daily news Tweets, video blogs, photos and more.
