Mojam, recently voted by
Time Magazine as one of the '50 Coolest websites', is the world's largest
database of live music events, covering everything from big-name stadium shows to
small performances at local coffee shops.
Mojam has had a presence on the
Internet since 1994, and has the most comprehensive coverage of local live music events
available. The database (which changes on a real-time basis every day) currently
contains between 15,000 and 25,000 unique events and consistently keeps track of:
- Over 25,000 artists
- Over 15,000 venues
- Over 6,300 cities in the US and abroad
Mojam combines many of these event listings with
the ability to purchase tickets to the shows.
OSKAR Consulting has been retained by
Mojam to set-up additional electronic licensing and/or co-brand arrangements for Mojam's
highly localized live music listings.
This content is especially appropriate
for entertainment and music portals who wish to compliment their coverage of the worldwide
music scene as well as for wireless and calendaring application providers interested in
event-oriented content. The MOJAM database offers licensees the ability to provide their
users with customizable, locally relevant content.
In addition to its sheer size, Mojam is
differentiated from competitors by the comprehensive content it offers beyond the basic
name and date of the event, including:
- GenresMost shows are identified by
at least one of 90 different genres;
- DescriptionsSome shows have detailed
descriptions such as being identified as Free (or listing a price of admission) or having
refreshments offered
- Start TimesNumerous shows have start
(and even end) times
- Ticket ConciergeWhere possible, a
deep-link is provided showing users where to go on the Web to purchase a ticket for the
show.
- Map LinkMojam can provide a deep
link to Yahoo Maps for all of its events
Additionally, Mojam can deliver this content in multiple formats depending on the needs of the user, including CSV (bulk download) or custom formats. Partners can license the full feed or select
subsets of the entire content based upon their target audience. The full feed includes the
following fields (where appropriate and available):
