Turn a Media Kit into an electronic press kit (EPK) for artists

Hello,
Is there any possibility to further customise the way a Media Kit is laid out and titled, as well as adding extra apps and features? I would love the ability to retitle the 'case study' section. For example, I'm not a creator in the social media sense, I haven't done 'brand collabs' aside from the productions I've worked with, and being a smaller musician (or upcoming as they say), I've toured smaller local gigs with no website or major brand links that I can input. So I was just wondering if there's any way I could add more features, especially to make it something I can send alongside my website and link in bio to promoters, labels, venues etc.
Thank you!

Great to hear your perspective, Khairika Sinani! I have a few more questions for you:
- Could you provide more details on the specific features you would like to add to the Media Kit?
- What specific changes would you like to see in the 'case study' section?
- Could you elaborate on how you envision using the Media Kit to engage with promoters, labels, venues etc.?

It would be great if there was a way to embed music (for demos, singles, albums etc), and also be able to highlight them with a short description (themes, stories, standout lyrics). So being able to add several ‘about me’ tiles/boxes instead of just the one?
A video/gallery section (I know this is starting to sound like a website haha but there are definitely moments where they align). As well as maybe a space where we can put some behind the scenes stuff that we wouldn’t normally put on our socials etc.
A place to put press mentions, quotes, links and testimonials/fan engagement (I think this pairs really well with what the media kit already does by showcasing the stats and analytics of our socials). Having said that, growth trends, milestones and viral posts would be really cool if the AI feature could keep track of that and automatically update it on the kit (ofcourse with the option to change it to feature something else if we’d prefer).
Different buttons instead of ‘work with me’ everywhere haha so the ability to change what each button says, or to remove it all together. So if the ‘contact me’ section could have the following features: Prominently display an email for booking and inquiries. Include a phone number (if comfortable) and management/representation contacts. Add a call-to-action for bookings, interviews, or festival spots.
Maybe integrate the apps ‘seated’ or ‘bandsintown’ for upcoming show dates?
A page for testimonials and reviews from radio hosts, journalists, audience members, and a place for maybe references/links. This could be in the 'case study' section? and oversight on my end, I just realised that any website link related to the company can be used (Facebook for example if they don't have a website).

Of course can’t forget the visual appeal, so cohesive branding throughout to match the album/artist/social medias (colors, fonts, imagery) should be easy to navigate with clear sections and white space.
I think what would be absolutely incredible would be able to download the Media Kit/EPK as a PDF with live links at any given point in time. This would be especially cool if all the metrics and analytics are automatically updated, so no matter what point in time the promoters try to download it they have the most up to date data showcased.
I know that’s a lot to ask, sorry about the long list! But I definitely envision this to be a more data driven calling card.
The EPK is a focused, professional, and industry-oriented for securing opportunities, they can see all the data that they would need, previous ticket sales, engagement, images and video links they can use for promotions, references and reviews (if they've never seen the band/artist live). Whereas a website is a broader, public-facing hub for fans and industry contacts alike. The Link-in-Bio is a simplified, quick on the go way for directing new followers to key content and social media. They all link to each other and compliment each other, the EPK is just more data driven
I hope that all makes sense! thanks for taking the time to read this

Oh yeah, and to actually add custom Headers/Titles for each section, for example, I can't change the title 'case studies' to say anything else.
And the download function wouldn't be for the creator (for example me) but for whomever we send the Media Kit to.
