The redesign of likeZEBRA will allow for much more robust profiles and greater engagement between artists and fans.  The key is social currency, which is always a valuable tool.”

Though still in its infancy, likeZEBRA is maturing at a swift speed, perking the ears of investors and generating a nationwide buzz.  In addition to its already free suite of tools used by fans and artists for social networking, the revamped likeZEBRA will afford an option for premium relevant tools for artists by subscription.  The tools will provide CD duplication, recording means, merchandising, and more.

“Our new business model and design is one we are incredibly confident with.  It has been so amazing to see likeZEBRA expand as it has in such a short period of time.  The site has already received such impressive recognition and with all the new assets being rolled out, I can only imagine what is in store,” continues Taggart.  

Everything from iPhone apps to booking gigs to an artist analytics tool, likeZEBRA is black, white and everything in between.  Moving towards the ranks of internationally acclaimed networking sites, likeZEBRA is positioned in a niche market that is quickly accelerating.  likeZEBRA’s innovative and accessible suite of services has officially placed them on the map and artists and fans alike are eager to experience the launch of the new likeZEBRA home.
