While others battle it out to be the streaming music destination for consumers, few have tackled the commercial space which requires entirely different licenses. Overhead.fm offers music for play in stores, restaurants, offices, and other “public places.” The company provides curated playlists based on each unique business or event. Current solutions require pricey hardware, while Overhead offers device agnostic digital rights to “every song ever recorded in the US.” This new solution is priced 50 percent less than the competition at $25 per location per month.

When you sign in to Overhead.fm today, you’ll notice a big difference: your default view is now a library of expert-curated playlists. Overhead.fm is launching 15 curated playlists today, and we will be growing and updating this library consistently as we go forward. In the coming months, we will add tools for combining and customizing these playlists.
We will strongly believe that these new expert-curated playlists paired with our smart playlist-suggestion engine provides the fastest and best way to find music that’s right for your business.
Today, Overhead.fm is unveiling entirely new branding and look and feel. We worked with the excellent Stephen Hernandez on the design. We gave Stephen a challenge: our branding needed to be simple and cutting edge while still being professional and business-friendly. We think Stephen’s design strikes this balance perfectly, and the end result is striking.
Screenshots take front-seat, immediately showing how Overhead.fm works for businesses. Subtle parralax scrolling effects call attention to the most important content, and the whole site is tied together with beautiful imagery and typography.
As always, the design will change based on A/B testing and new needs, but we’re proud of Overhead.fm’s new look and feel.
MaineBiz, Maine’s leading business magazine, just published a nice feature on what we’re doing at Overhead.fm.
We’re thrilled to have been named the winner of our track the Rhode Island Business Plan Competition. The prize includes a $15,000 cash award and $25,000 in professional services. This award marks the completion of a rigorous process: a traditional business plan, two rounds of interviews, and final pitch at the Rhode Island Business Expo. Winning this award will allow us to complete development and pursue the content licensing deals we need to make Overhead the best background music service on the market.
Congratulations to the winners of the other tracks: Siren Marine and JumpOffCampus. Can’t wait to see what they do in the next few months.
Update: Nice mention in the ProJo online. Should be a full article in the print edition tomorrow.
