Premidnight
Background
Dubai’s nightlife, often symbolized by all-out parties and high-end night clubs, lacked something more authentic. While the city is always in abundance of events, there was a gap for those that were trying to find an experience that offered more than surface-level thrills. Enter Premidnight—promised to be a guide to those seeking a night out that was tailored to their individual tastes and a little distant from the mainstream.
Approach
We set out by honing in on authenticity and personal relevance. The platform was designed as a community-centric hub, allowing for the sharing and discovery of genuine nightlife stories. Its user-friendly interface and custom CMS backend enabled users to contribute and explore content that resonated on a personal level, cutting through the city's noise to highlight real, meaningful experiences.
The approach was user-focused: pm asked users to define their vibe and music preferences, then utilized a filtering system to match them with events that fit their criteria. Integration with music platforms like SoundCloud provided a preview of what the night could offer, improving the decision-making process. Additionally, the platform offered practical information into event prices, dress codes, and venue details, improving user experience.
This approach aimed not just to guide users to the right events but to create a community grounded in shared tastes and authentic engagements, making pm a factor in transforming how people discover and connect with Dubai’s nightlife.
