Playing the Publicity Game PLAYING THE PUBLICITY GAME Music Promotion to the Finnish Media Diana Hartmann Bachelor’s thesis November 2010 Degree Programme in International Business Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Author: Diana Hartmann Study Programme: Degree Programme in International Business Title of Thesis Playing the Publicity Game – Music Promotion to the Finnish Media Year of Completion: 2010 Supervisor: Kai Hintsanen Number of Pages: 102 ABSTRACT Music promotion is all about getting the word out about an artist and respectively getting a good song heard. In its essence it is no different from promotion in general, but the specialty lies in that music is connected to emotions, thus it is heavily dependent on individual tastes. With declining promotion budgets, especially at smaller independent record labels, artists depend more and more on publicity as a form of ‘free’ promotion. The current oversupply of music has resulted in fierce competition for media attention and consequently publicity can often be very hard to obtain. This thesis aimed to take a closer look at the media’s role in music promotion with the focus on the concept of publicity, determine the stimuli for media’s interest in an artist and define directions for a mutually beneficial cooperation between music companies and key media. The study focused on the Finnish market and firstly analyzed the two main industries concerned, music and media. It built on the theoretical concept of the marketing mix, which needs to be applied to the mass media in order to obtain the publicity that forms a vital part of the promotion mix that is targeted at the general public. The empirical research incorporated both qualitative and quantitative elements in the form of interviews with key industry professionals and a media survey. The findings of the research showed that the views of industry professionals matched by and large and it was agreed that there is room for improvement. The factors of biggest impact could be defined as the quality of the music, the quality of the promotional material, accurate targeting, professionalism, understanding of the other side’s needs, wants and resources and most importantly building and utilizing a strong professional network. Suggested further research could concern the correlation of media visibility and album sales. Key words: Promotion Publicity Marketing Communications Music Industry Mass Media ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to take this opportunity to thank a number of people for their contribution to my thesis. First and foremost I would like to thank everyone who participated in the survey as well as my interviewees, Heta Hyttinen, Jani Kortti, Jussi Mäntysaari, Milla Palovaara, Mark Fry and Ramona Forsström. This thesis would not have been possible without their willingness to dedicate time to the cause and share their knowledge. I would also like to thank Karri Suksia and the Supersounds crew for giving me the opportunity to do my internship there, for making the experience valuable and fun, and for giving information and feedback on the topic of this thesis as well. Big thanks go to all the lovely Finnish girls for helping with translations of the survey material (Anna, Marika, Marja, Merja, Riikka and Tanja), to Kate for proofreading the final document and to all friends and family, who motivated me to get this done. Last but not least I would like to thank my supervisor, Kai Hintsanen at TAMK, for getting me on track and providing guidance and motivation along the way. 3 CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................................... 6 1.1 Topic Overview ...................................................................................................... 6 1.2 Research Objectives ............................................................................................... 7 1.3 Research Methods, Structure and Limitations........................................................ 8 2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION ....................................................................................... 10 2.1 The Music Industry............................................................................................... 10 2.1.1 Overview of the Music Industry.................................................................... 10 2.1.1 The Music Industry in Finland: Market Overview........................................ 12 2.1.3 Music Industry in Finland: SWOT Analysis ................................................. 15 2.2 Media.................................................................................................................... 16 2.2.1 Media Sectors and Outlets............................................................................. 16 2.2.2 Media Environment in Finland...................................................................... 18 2.2.3 The Role of Media in the Promotion Process................................................ 21 3 MUSIC MARKETING AND PROMOTION.......................................................................... 24 3.1 The Marketing Mix............................................................................................... 24 3.1.2 The 4 Ps and Cs for the Product Music ......................................................... 27 3.2 The Promotional Message .................................................................................... 32 3.3 Promotional Components of Music Marketing .................................................... 34 3.4 Promoting to the Media ........................................................................................ 41 3.4.1 The Promotion People ................................................................................... 42 3.4.2 The Promotion Tools..................................................................................... 43 3.4.3 The Promotion Process.................................................................................. 46 3.4.4 Media Relations and Networking.................................................................. 49 4 DISCUSSION OF SURVEY AND INTERVIEWS ................................................................... 52 4.1 Analysis and Discussion of the Media Survey ..................................................... 52 4.1.1 The Media Survey ......................................................................................... 52 4.2.2 Survey Demographics ................................................................................... 54 4.2.3 Survey Results ............................................................................................... 56 4.2.4 Survey Comments ......................................................................................... 60 4.3 Discussion of Interviews with Key Industry People ............................................ 72 4.3.1 Interview Backgrounds.................................................................................. 72 4.3.2 Interviews with Media Representatives......................................................... 73 4.3.3 Interviews with Marketing and Promotion Professionals ............................. 78 4.3.4 Case Study: The Baseballs ............................................................................ 81 5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ..................................................................... 86 REFERENCES.................................................................................................................... 91 APPENDIXES .................................................................................................................... 97 Appendix A: Interviewee CVs ............................................................................... 97 Appendix B: Interview Structures .......................................................................... 99 Appendix C: Survey Questions ............................................................................ 100 4 LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES Table 1: Global Recorded Music Sales (in bn US Dollars)............................................ 11 Table 2: The 4 Ps and Cs of Marketing.......................................................................... 26 Figure 1: Finland -

  • Adchoices? Compliance with Online Behavioral Advertising Notice and Choice Requirements
    AdChoices? Compliance with Online Behavioral Advertising Notice and Choice Requirements Saranga Komanduri, Richard Shay, Greg Norcie, Blase Ur, Lorrie Faith Cranor March 30, 2011 (revised October 7, 2011) CMU-CyLab-11-005 CyLab Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 AdChoices? Compliance with Online Behavioral Advertising Notice and Choice Requirements Saranga Komanduri, Richard Shay, Greg Norcie, Blase Ur, Lorrie Faith Cranor Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA {sarangak, rshay, ganorcie, bur, lorrie}@cmu.edu Abstract. Online behavioral advertisers track users across websites, often without users' knowledge. Over the last twelve years, the online behavioral advertising industry has responded to the resulting privacy concerns and pressure from the FTC by creating private self- regulatory bodies. These include the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and an umbrella organization known as the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). In this paper, we enumerate the DAA and NAI notice and choice requirements and check for compliance with those requirements by examining NAI members' privacy policies and reviewing ads on the top 100 websites. We also test DAA and NAI opt-out mechanisms and categorize how their members define opting out. Our results show that most members are in compliance with some of the notice and choice requirements, but two years after the DAA published its Self-Regulatory Principles, there are still numerous instances of non-compliance. Most examples of non- compliance are related to the ``enhanced notice” requirement, which requires advertisers to mark behavioral ads with a link to further information and a means of opting out. Revised October 7, 2011. Keywords: Online behavioral advertising; privacy; consumer choice; notice; public policy 1 Introduction The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) defines online behavioral advertising (OBA) as “the practice of tracking consumers' activities online to target advertising.”1 The FTC has been examining ways to reduce the privacy concerns associated with OBA for over a decade.

Lorde and Billie Eilish showed what was possible. Lorde was just 16 when, in 2012, she uploaded her debut EP to SoundCloud.

  • The State of the News: Texas
    THE STATE OF THE NEWS: TEXAS GOOGLE’S NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE JOURNALISM INDUSTRY #SaveJournalism #SaveJournalism EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Antitrust investigators are finally focusing on the anticompetitive practices of Google. Both the Department of Justice and a coalition of attorneys general from 48 states and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico now have the tech behemoth squarely in their sights. Yet, while Google’s dominance of the digital advertising marketplace is certainly on the agenda of investigators, it is not clear that the needs of one of the primary victims of that dominance—the journalism industry—are being considered. That must change and change quickly because Google is destroying the business model of the journalism industry. As Google has come to dominate the digital advertising marketplace, it has siphoned off advertising revenue that used to go to news publishers. The numbers are staggering. News publishers’ advertising revenue is down by nearly 50 percent over $120B the last seven years, to $14.3 billion, $100B while Google’s has nearly tripled $80B to $116.3 billion. If ad revenue for $60B news publishers declines in the $40B next seven years at the same rate $20B as the last seven, there will be $0B practically no ad revenue left and the journalism industry will likely 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 disappear along with it. The revenue crisis has forced more than 1,700 newspapers to close or merge, the end of daily news coverage in 2,000 counties across the country, and the loss of nearly 40,000 jobs in America’s newsrooms.

To tie into the topic of this session, consider that the performance you just heard was one of your high school students. Does this performance demonstrate musical knowledge, understanding, and aesthetic sensitivity? In my 25 years of music teaching, it has been my observation that America’s music programs have demonstrate outstanding student development of performance skills through presenting a variety of performance experiences. This statement may or may not accurately reflect the general music component of a school music program, but if it sufficiently prepares students for continuing in music beyond the general classes, it certainly is a part of it. Instruction in a typical music class often focuses the learning objectives on performance skill development and subjectively assessed by the instructor.
