THE AGE OF EMOTIONAL MARKETING

SALE

EMOTIONS DRIVE OUR DECISION MAKING. EMOTIONS TAKE PLACE OUTSIDE OUR RATIONAL, LOGICAL AWARENESS. EMOTIONAL ENGAGEMENT INCREASES THE SPEED OF LEARNING, INCREASES MEMORY RETENTION, AND EVOKES EMOTIONS IN OTHERS.

NOBODY LIKES ADVERTISING

OUR BRAINS ARE ADEPT AT SORTING OUT IRRELEVANT INFORMATION. CONTRARILY, EMOTIONS APPEAL TO US TROUGH OUR SENSES AND INFLUENCE OUR DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES.

CONSUMERS CHOSE BRANDS THEY CAN ENGAGE IN, CONNECT TO AND HAVE FUN WITH

Brands that create an emotional connection to consumers are much stronger than those that don’t. However, many companies still spend vast amounts of money on traditional advertising, the success of which is simply to difficult to predict.

In depth studies of human behavior reveal that emotions drive our decision making, especially that which takes place outside our rational, logical awareness. Often, our rational interest in a brand or product is driven by the desire to achieve a certain emotional response. For brands to truly succeed today, they must engage in a deeper, multidimensional attempt to connect with their consumers.

Things have dramatically changed during the past years. Science has partnered with performance psychology to provide us with stacks of statistics that all say the same thing: logic does not lead - emotions do! We make emotional choices. Logic, reason, and data are all used to back up and support our emotional choices - even in business.

You need clear and engaging communication and everything you do must be designed to inspire rather than inform. Emotional, content-based marketing strategically reaches consumers in ways that traditional advertising simply can’t.

Overvejelser:

- Hvilke kanaler skal rammes, TV, digitalt, biograf etc.?

- På hvilke territorier skal reklamen køre, specifikke lande eller hele verden?

- Hvor længe skal reklamen køre? Skal musikken være eksklusiv (kræver højere budget) kun til denne reklamefilm eller non-eksklusiv, eller kun eksklusiv i forhold til nærmeste konkurrende brands?

- Skal det pilles ned efterfølgende? (SoMe kan være svært)

- Skal der laves flere versioner af samme reklamefilm?

- Skal der speak på reklamen, så vi evt. skal bruge en instrumental udgave af musikken?

- Bør vi overveje at komponere et nyt stykke musik specifikt til brandet?

See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight

Heads turning as the lights flashin' out, it's so bright

Then walk right out to the four line track

There's a camera rollin' on her back, on her back

And I sense the rhythm hummin' in a frenzy all the way down her spine

Girls on film, girls on film

Girls on film, girls on film

Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling

In miles of sharp blue water comin' in where she lies

The diving man's comin' up for air‘

Cause the crowd all love pulling Dolly by the hair, by the hair

And she wonders how she ever got here as she goes under again

Girls on film, girls on film(Two minutes later)

Girls on film, girls on film(Got your picture)

Wider baby, smiling, you just made a million Fuses pumping live, heat twisting out on a wire

Take one last glimpse into the night

I'm touching close, I'm holding bright, holding tight

Give me shudders in a whisper take me up till I'm shooting a star

Girls on film, girls on film(She's more than a lady)

2. STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

BOOSTING A BRANDS MARKETING EFFORTS.

Page 32: Music Branding Seminar March 2015

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS ARE POWERFUL AND ARE EFFECTIVE IN BOOSTING YOUR IMPACT. THE TRUE POWER, HOWEVER, LIES IN FINDING MEANING AND CREDIBILITY OUTSIDE THE BASIC TRANSACTIONS AND SPONSORSHIPS.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

ASPIRE TO A VISION BEYOND BASIC SPONSORSHIPS, CREATE TRUE VALUE FOR CONSUMERS, AND BOOST YOUR IMPACT.

+Authenticity+New audience

Strategic partnerships helps you amplify your campaign and brand story. Because of its engaging content and nature, music works as a driving force for interaction and thus boosts your social impact. Music engages people and brings them together, which is why it is a great way for brands to interact with consumers.

The right musical match contributes to an auditory brand identity and creates positive associations with passionate musicians. In addition, your brand gains access to new marketing channels. You not only gain access to the artist’s fans, but also harness positive associations of the artist’s brand value.

WHAT WE DO We identify and negotiate with relevant partners such as artists, bands, music media, festivals, venues, comedians, restaurants and pretty much every aspect of the entertainment industry. Your media impact is suddenly multiplied with the number of your partner’s followers.
