Temple was a music startup founded in 2021, which offered artists tools to create microsites, capture fan data and run ad campaigns. Why the past tense? Because the UK-based startup was acquired this month by music-promotion firm Groover, and its service has now been relaunched as ‘Temple by Groover’ under the latter’s wing.
The gist is the same: link-in-bio microsites for artists; features to email and text-message fans; and advertising tools. Groover will now be pushing the service out to its 650,000+ registered artists. “Joining Groover means we can scale this vision faster and bring it to hundreds of thousands of artists around the world,” said Temple founder Omar Ismail.
However, on a personal level he will be leaving that scaling work to Groover. “After several months of handover, I’ve decided to move on to a new role,” announced Ismail on LinkedIn, while stressing that “it’s an honor to hand Temple over to Romain [Palmieri, Groover CEO] and his incredible team.”
