Beach Boys new website

“We set out to help the Beach Boys create something special for their 50th anniversary in music,” explains Mirco Pasqualini, Chief Creative Officer of Xhibit Corp. “We wanted to make their website highly experiential with unique access to the band members, their music and history, as well as enabling more basic online functions such as ticket and merchandise sales. This meant pushing the technology to its limits. The result is a showcase of interactive multimedia, including historical timeline features, biographies, discographies and plenty of exclusive content. We’re confident that Beach Boys fans will find the new site highly engaging. Visitors of the site can even listen to the entire Beach Boys music catalog via an embedded Spotify player directly from the site.”

The site, which was developed entirely by Xhibit’s interactive team, utilizes the latest in web programming technology leveraging HTML 5 and its innovative multimedia capabilities. These include browser agnostic streaming media and parallax browsing effects that enable multi-layered content and seamless viewing across all computer platforms, tablets and mobile devices.

“What we have done,” adds Pasqualini, “takes the Beach Boys site from a basic template website into an industry-leading, socially powered tool for the band. It’s also meant to give the band and Capitol Records the ability to easily manage the site and content from a customized administrative standpoint. It’s a centralized hub for all things Beach Boys and we are proud to play such an integral part in the band’s online prescience.”

The Beach Boys continue to hold Billboard / Nielsen SoundScan’s record as the top-selling American band for albums and singles, and they are also the American group with the most Billboard Top 40 chart hits (36). ‘Sounds Of Summer: The Very Best Of The Beach Boys’ has achieved triple-Platinum sales status and ‘The SMiLE Sessions,’ released to worldwide critical acclaim in November 2011, has been heralded as that year’s #1 Reissue of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine. The 2012 reunion and release of ‘That’s Why God Made Radio’ album marks the band’s 50th year in music.

Who are the key members of Xhibit corp?

Xhibit Corp Management Team

Xhibit corp


CEO

Chris Richarde

Chris Richarde is the founder of Xhibit Corp. (XBTC) and has served as the CEO and Chairman since July 2011. Xhibit Corp., is a cloud based marketing and technology development company focused on digital advertising, online and mobile social media, and CRM solutions with corporate offices and operations located in Tempe, Arizona. Through its unique offerings, it is able to provide integrated solutions over a broad spectrum of a brand’s digital needs.

With over 15 years experience, Chris Richarde is an online marketing expert who began his career in digital media at an early age. As a coder and designer building projects for various groups, he gained an early understanding of the power of digital marketing and began devising new techniques and innovative strategies to apply to the then burgeoning industry. After several years of developing new approaches and proprietary strategies for client companies and their products, he recognized the need to apply his understanding and vision to the broader market. He founded SpyFire Interactive, LLC, where as the principal and CEO, he could help businesses choose from the most powerful marketing approaches in order to maximize the client’s ROI. He built SpyFire Interactive as a highly profitable company growing rapidly from $215,000 revenue in 2009 to over $6.4 million revenue in 2011 before its merger with Xhibit.

In 2008, Mr. Richarde realized that there would be a huge potential upside to social media, but he did not feel companies were properly positioned to monetize their sites. He decided it was time to take things to the next level and in 2009 began growing SFI with the long-term goals of using his relationships to capitalize on the newly forming social media trends.

Christaofer Richarde envisions the digital media space as one unit where companies can provide truly integrated solutions under one roof; not the fragmented industry it is today, where a company has to work with one agency to build their brand, another for their development and finally seek an agency to work on the monetization and advertising, which many times is outsourced to the end distribution point, e.g. Facebook, Yahoo or Google.

To bring this vision to fruition, Mr. Richarde united the core executive team including top experts from many digital verticals, successfully closed several mergers and acquisitions in 2011 under Xhibit and took Xhibit public in 2012. Xhibit provides a synergistic array of product offerings to help brands achieve maximum
results from their digital strategy.
