LA Marathon App
Our main objective with the new app was to create an engaging experience to help people achieve their goals on a daily basis. We know music is a part of that experience and we have found Feed.fm’s solution to be in integral component of our updates
San Francisco, California (PRWEB) March 14, 2017
The Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon launched a brand new app experience this year, powered by Fitbit, which includes handpicked radio stations by Feed.fm. The radio feature gives people access to thousands of tracks to motivate better workouts. The partnership is aligned with the event’s objective of providing a best-in-class experience for both runners and spectators.
Feed.fm provides a legal solution for brands, apps, and teams to better connect with their customers through music. Many people intuitively listen to music while training, but it’s more than just a background soundtrack. In fact, music is practically “a type of legal performance-enhancing drug,” according to Dr. Costas Karageorghis, a world renowned researcher on music for performance and author of over 100 studies.
Despite the well documented positive impact on workouts, music has traditionally been challenging to incorporate into mobile experiences due to licensing and technology complexity. Feed.fm solves that problem with custom music curation, fully licensed tracks, and an easily integrated white label solution that allows brands to share music directly with their customers.
“At Feed.fm, we are focused on the intersection of music and business and we help our partners connect authentically with their customers. Music triggers visceral reactions in people and is a necessity while working out. We’re excited to help bring dynamic and personalized music to support this iconic race,” said Jeff Yasuda, CEO and Co-Founder of Feed.fm.
In addition to training music, the redesigned 2017 Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon app powered by Fitbit allows runners, spectators and the entire Los Angeles community easy access to runner tracking, race information, the course map and social media tools to enhance their experience . The annual Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon continues to rise to prominence as one of the largest marathons in the country.
