Fan Experience
Electric Callboy, one of Germany’s biggest metalcore acts, used ZATAP’s technology to release their new album “TANZNEID” as an NFC Fancard, which gives fans access to the full album and a rich fan experience
It includes exclusive video content and polaroids, a quiz, a mini-game, and a lot more engaging content about the band and the new album. After tapping, fans can personalize their experience with their name and a choice of theme. Fans can fill out the “TANZNEID” stamp card by completing challenges such as checking in to a show and much more, turning the release into an ongoing experience rather than a one-off purchase.
