FiDio Inc. Project Proposal
Introduction
Fidio Inc. is an innovative live streaming service that is designed to bring entertainment
in Africa to the masses (Fidio, n.d). The platform gives the fan a chance to experience live
African concerts safely and remotely, gives the artist a way of performing for audiences beyond
the local level, and gives upcoming musicians and performers a means of showcasing their talent
and turning local events into international ones. Furthermore, Fidio allows event creators to get
the most out of ticket sales via a pay-per-view model, commercials, and creating fresh content.
Project Overview and the Issue to be Tackled
Core Problem
The African live event experience is frequently negative and unsafe for the consumers in
the industry. The A-list artists are usually booked to perform in other countries because of high
costs hence few options for local fans. New talents cannot perform in big events, and event
organizers cannot make great sales of their tickets.
Current State
Fidio has managed to broadcast 17 events and the average number of viewers per event is
120. Despite this, the company has invested in the user interface and has used influencer
marketing to get customers and this is expensive. The company has to create a better brand
awareness and marketing strategies to be able to enter the market more keenly.
Project Solution
This work is proposed to improve the branding and marketing approaches of Fidio with
the aim of improving the market share and reaching more viewers and in turn increase the
5
numbers of the viewers engaging with the platform. Our main goals for Fidio include improving
the company’s marketing strategies and enhancing the brand’s identity to solve the core issues.
Strategic Goals
1. Make recommendations on how best to redesign the user interface and user experience so
that the platform can be more attractive.
2. Employ new techniques of marketing to get the attention of more people and a wider and
more diverse clientele.
3. To offer fresh talents the chance of reaching a wider audience and of expanding artists’
possibilities of exposure.
4. Offer ideas that would assist event hosts to fully sell out their events.

Industry Information
Video live streaming is quickly gaining popularity. In 2023, video live streams accounted
for 27.7% of the video content consumed worldwide (Ceci, 2023).

reach/
Subscriptions to digital music streaming services are fueling the digital music industry's
expansion, with revenues expected to increase from US$36.1 billion in 2021 to US$45.8 billion
in 2026 (PWC, 2022). Streamers can monetize their content through subscriptions, donations,
advertisements, and sponsorships. Twitch, for instance, offers multiple revenue streams for its
users (Folger, 2023). The live streaming industry is expected to expand in the coming years due
to the availability of new technologies and the high demand from consumers for live
broadcasting content. New innovations such as the Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are
expected to improve the live streaming experience and create new ways of viewing events.
Furthermore, the implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning can further assist
in the customization of content as well as increase user interaction. It makes financial sense to
invest in Fidio since there is assurance of a high return on investment.
11
Client Benefits
Enhanced User Experience
The alterations in appearance and performance of the platform will help Fidio to get more
customers and retain them. The improved navigation would make the users happy and they
would remain on the platform for longer durations of time and use it frequently. The changes that
the users proposed will be implemented in order to improve the platform and meet the needs of
today’s and tomorrow’s live event streaming consumers.
Expanded Audience Reach
The use of social media, email marketing, and content marketing will enable Fidio to
approach new potential clients and new territories. This expansion of the user base not only leads
to a higher number of spectators, but also positively influences the recognition of the platform as
the main source of African live events.
Revenue Growth for the Event Hosts and Fidio
The focusing of the project on the tickets sales, advertising and production of the
exclusive content will be profitable for both the event hosts and Fidio. The event hosts will be
able to sell more tickets and increase their visibility level while Fidio will get an extra source of
income from sale of tickets. This financial growth will enable the platform to receive more funds
to be reinvested back into the platform which leads to growth and development.
Strengthened Brand Position
Fidio will build on its brand partnerships with influencers and artists to develop Fidio into
a major player within the African entertainment market. These collaborations will enhance the
credibility and trust of the platform hence getting more users and famous artists. As such, the
12
brand recognition of Fidio will only increase in the future and this will lead to more investment
and partnership opportunities which will in turn lead to more development and change.
Project Success
Measuring project success in this project will involve the use of both quantitative and
qualitative measures to determine the extent to which the project has met the strategic objectives
of Fidio Inc., which are to improve user experience, increase the number of users, boost artist
visibility and raise ticket sales.
Quantitative Metrics
Increase in Average Event Views
The success of the project will be measured through increased event viewership to an
average of at least 500 viewers per event from the previous 120 viewers. This metric will show
increased audience engagement and platform-focused views as a positive trend.
User Growth
Another sign of successful implementation of this model will be an increase in the
number of registered users by 30% within the first year of its use. This rise will be recorded
based on the number of registered accounts and the implication of the users’ activity.
Revenue Growth
The main metrics are ticket sales and advertising revenue that are likely to be improved.
This means that the goal of increasing revenues by 20% within the first year will demonstrate the
financial benefit of better marketing and platform advancements.
13
Partnerships with Influencers and Artists
Creating at least 10 new partnerships with influencers and artists within the initial six
months of the campaign will demonstrate the effectiveness of the outreach and collaboration
efforts, thus expanding the audience.
Qualitative Assessments
User Satisfaction
Higher levels of user satisfaction and positive survey results and feedbacks will be a clear
indication that the changes made to the UI/UX and the overall usability of the platform have
been beneficial.
Artist Feedback
Getting positive testimonies from the artists about their visibility and interaction on the
platform will be important. Success here will be defined as artists seeing the benefits of using
Fidio for extending their audience.
Through these metrics, Fidio Inc. will prove to have the capacity to solve the fundamental
problems that stand in its way in order to offer a better, profitable, and recognized platform for
African live events.
