App for film festival in Sitges (2015-2018)
The Project
The Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantàstic de Catalunya, with the emergence of smartphones, decided to make a mobile App (Android App and iOS App) to offer festival information and interact with the attendees, App available from the 48th edition (2015).
The service consisted in offering a high usability mobile App to achieve loyalty and improve the user experience of the attendees throughout the Festival.
Functions were implemented to send automatic push notifications (push messaging) and a data integration was made with the CMS of the Festival website to streamline content management. Additionally, trailers display functions and the possibility of offer ticket sales were developed.
Development of the Android and iOS Apps and publication of the App in a period of 4 weeks.
