Creative Advantage Fund PrizeBirmingham City University
My dissertation was awarded the Creative Advantage Fund Prize in 2018 due to its cultural relevance and potential to inspire future research.
The dissertation focused on the cultural value of streaming services in the eyes of different music audiences separated by generic preference. I drew conclusions on the value points of streaming services for each genre; value points they were missing and potential for adjustments to further appeal to music fans.
