Audiokite is an online market research company based in New York, offering consumer research and opinion polling to musicians and labels.[1][2][3][4] Using the Amazon Mechanical Turk service and an internal reviewer filtering process, the service streams music over the internet to U.S.-based music consumers and administers a survey.[5][6] The results are organized into a report, which determines eligibility for a variety of discounts and opportunities through partnerships with music services including Bandzoogle, New Artist Model, Feature.fm, and others.[2][7]

In an article about data in the modern music industry, Forbes noted that "More and more artists are A/B-testing their music, either on their own or through market research services like Audiokite."[4]

History

The company was founded in 2014 by musician Alex Jae Mitchell and law student Benjamin Sklovsky, following their previous music venture.[8] Citing the accessible price point, the service earned praise from members of the music technology community following its launch.[9][10][11][12][13]

In 2015, Audiokite won the SF Music Tech Summit Startup Innovators Challenge.[14][15]

In 2016, the company pitched in the first Canadian Music Week Startup Launchpad.[16]
