ShutterFlow: AI-Powered Artist Image Standardization for Global Festivals
Festiverse, a Live Nation product built in partnership with CodeLink, is a platform uniting festivals under one digital ecosystem. To solve image inconsistencies across its events, Live Nation once again partnered with us to create ShutterFlow, an AI-powered tool for Festiverse that standardizes artist images with face detection, 1:1 cropping, and automated variations.
80% Time Reduction in Manual Work
By automating image processing, the tool dramatically cut down on the time festival teams spent manually cropping and editing artist photos.
100% Image Consistency
The automated 1:1 ratio cropping ensures that every artist's image is perfectly standardized, creating a professional and uniform look across all lineups and schedules.
Significant Time Savings
Automating this once time-consuming task saves the festival teams valuable hours during lineup creation, streamlining their entire workflow.
Guaranteed Brand Accuracy
The system ensures artist-approved photos are used, replacing outdated thumbnails and accurately reflecting each artist's current branding.
About the client
As the world’s leading live entertainment company, Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE: LYV) is the architect of the global "Golden Era" of live music. Operating an unrivaled flywheel that spans concert promotion, venue management, and ticketing, the company connects over 160 million fans to 50,000+ shows annually across more than 45 countries.
The challenge
Festiverse faced inconsistent artist images due to varying submissions and reliance on outdated Spotify thumbnails. Manual editing drained team resources, while inconsistent visuals reduced lineup quality and brand impact.

Coupled with our proven expertise in AI-driven tools, advanced image processing, and scalable AWS infrastructure, we are the ideal choice to build an automated solution that aligns perfectly with their operational and branding needs.

ShutterFlow now powers consistent, high-quality artist images across Festiverse. The tool is live, scalable, and continues to support festivals at a global scale.
