2 Introduction

At the beginning of this week, we, Daniëlle Blacquière, Rachel Korthals, Minke Men- nen, Kevin Schreurwater, Niki van der Hoek en Gaby van Willegen, started with the Special Program Week. In this week we had a assignment to write an advisory report and to create a video clip for an artist of our choice.

At the beginning of this week we had the choice between two artists, rapper LU and techno DJ Lucky Done Gone. After a short discussion, we chose rapper LU for this ad- visory report.

LU, born as Luciano Latuny, is a hip hop rapper and lives in Amsterdam. In his rap texts he sings about memories and moments in his life. In this advisory report we chose to promote the number ‘phases’, a number where he describes three phases in his life. His past, the present and the future.

In this advisory report is written how the current situation is, how it can be and how this can be reached if this report will be implemented.

1.2 Promotional activities

Luciano Latuny, LU, lives in Amsterdam and is a student communication and multimedia design. At the age of twelve LU started rapping. He created a passion for soul, R&B and hip hop. LU started to write his own lyrics inspired by other rappers like Nas, Common and a Tribe Called Quest. The best way to describe LU his way of rapping is called “true school hip hop”. These raps are about social and political issues that matter in this world, but also about subjects that appeal to LU such as love and his feelings.

The organization behind LU started during the minor “marketing in de culturele sector” (February 2012 till June 2012) at the “Hogeschool van Amsterdam”. Five students were asked to put Luciano in the music market by creating an event to promote his first CD with a CD release. This was a big oppor- tunity for LU to create brand awareness. LU’S IMAGE 1.3. Image analysis

1.3.1. Identity LU is a Dutch rapper from Amsterdam. He has his own identity which shows his passion for hip hop. He adjusts his clothes to his music choice, urban.

LU’s identity is clearly visible in his clips. The- se clips are filmed at home and have an amateur look. In those videos he is smoking a cigarette or a joint which makes the videos unprofessional. Those videos are showing LU’s identity.

1.3.2. Current image A short image research is held under 30 students of Fontys Academy for Creative industries. These key words have been emerged: • Amateur • Sounds professional • Not comfortable • Kanye West / Nas style • Smoking weed • Badboy • Good pronunctiation

The interviewees see LU as an amateur rapper that does not know how to put himself in the market. His clothes and radiation make him look like a bad boy. But in contrast to his looks LU his sound is pro- fessional and his English pronunciation is very good. 7 7 1.3.3. Desirable image LU wants to beam to his target group that he is a professional rapper. He wants to be taken seriously. It is important for LU that his target group knows that he wants to have a professional career. The lyrics of LU’s raps tell something about his life. It is important for him to give the target group advice about what is good and wrong. With his clothes he wants to beam the hip hop scene, but as a normal nicely rapper. LU compared himself to rapper Nas and he would like to attract the same target group as Nas does.

1.3.4. Gap LU his current and desirable image does not connect to each Image analysis other. LU is seen as a bad guy whose smoking weed but he wants to be seen as a professional rapper. GAP Identity Current Our advice to LU is that he has to change his image connected image to the trend decent geare that is explained in the trend analysis. To become a professional rapper LU needs to change his clothes in clothing that make him more nicely and neater. It is also im- GAP GAP portant that he will remove the amateur videos on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

He will attract a bigger target group and his image will change in a positive way.

1.4 Core values - Love - Sincerity - Change your mind state - Solidarity - Being a good human

1.5 Mission LU creates music about subjects that appeal to him. With his raps LU wants to impart a story. For him it is important that people appreciate his music.

1.6 Vision LU wants to establish himself inside the Amsterdam rapper-scene and become a famous rapper in the Netherlands.

1.7 Strenght and weaknesse 1.7.1. Strengths - LU his music is true school hip hop rap. Lu stands out with his unique wise of rapping among other rappers. - LU has already developed a small fan base. - LU tells different stories with his raps.

1.7.2. Weaknesses - LU has not enough likes on Facebook and Twitter to create brand awareness. - LU has not got a good image to go commercial. 8 - LU has many amateur videos online that are not any bringing benefit for his desired image. 8 2. Externe analaysis

2.1. Competition LU his main goal is to become a well known rapper in the Netherlands. Before LU can reach this goal it is important to create brand awareness in Amsterdam. The competition in rap music is high. Only in Amsterdam there are several rap-artists that have the same goal as LU. For example: Rooie Fred, Zwarte Sjaak, Peet de Pruik and Kiddo Cee.

By this advisory report LU hopes to become a famous Rapper in Amsterdam. When this goal is reached LU hopes to create brand awareness in the Netherlands. Famous rappers in the Netherlands are Ali B, Brace, Fouradi, and Yes-R.

A total overview of famous Dutch rappers and rappers from Amsterdam are listed in the attachment.

2.2. Demographic factors LU focuses on music lovers between 18 and 30 years old in The Netherlands. Figures of the CBS shown that The Netherlands has 16 655 799 habitants. From these habitants 4 162 599 people are between the 20 and 40 years old. From this can be derived that there are about 2 million people in the Netherlands between the 20 and 30 years old.

2.3. Technology factors Nowadays social media is becoming more important (Newcom research & consultancy, 2012). The use of so- cial media is rising and Facebook or Twitter are getting more popular among Dutch consumers. Via social media the brand awareness will be increased and there will be more web-traffic (Baten, 2012). Ano- ther possibility of social media is to have personal contact with fans and to keep them up to date by putting posts on Facebook and Twitter.

Quality has been improved through technology. Headphones fabricants have the chance to bring the consu- mer exactly what the artist intended (Dr. Dre).

9 9 2.4. Trends and Issues Here below, five trends and developments are explained that have a connection with the music industry.

2.4.1. The Three Bears Laptops are too big and cell phones are too small. A new device is developed, the tablet. The Apple iPad, the Sony Reader and the Amazon Kindle are three examples of tablets.

2.4.2. The festival is dead. Long live the festival In recent years the interest in live music, particularly in music and cultural festivals, has been renewed. In a article of the Sydney Morning Hereld this quote was posted:”...music is being devalued and beco- ming more like a commodity and less like the valuable cultural artifact we know it to be…” Bands are willing to play music on festivals but the amount of festivals is decreasing. The festival market will be less buoyant. In case with all market experiences intense competition rationalization is a result. The festival market as we know is dead but replaced with a new, more commercial rationalized one.

2.4.3. One social network to rule them all? Social networking started with MySpace (61 million visitors per month), where people could create their own free online presence. Now Facebook has become the most visited site by Google’s ranking, with 600 million visitors per month.

Will social network eventually replace the need for bands to have their own website? Social network and free do-it-yourself websites are upcoming. The functionality of a website is for an artist more important than the design. Social networking and search optimalization for Google is impor- tant. Before social network pages existed, an artist would have a poorly looking, functioning and cheap website or an expensive, great looking and highly functional website.

2.4.4. 360 degree deals – the reverse side of the DIY model The 360 degree deal means that the record company looks after the artists’ management, publishing, live touring and merchandising as well as their record releases. The idea behind this deal is that the artist can focus totally on the music.

2.4.5. Music publishers re-gain ground The decline of the CD and the simultaneous growing interest in cover song recordings, film/TV/adver- tising music plus non-traditional methods of distributing music such as video games, toys and Internet, has lead to an apparent power shift to publishers away from record companies. Yet the music publishing industry has suffered as the recording companies have from the decline in the sale of physical formats. Although the recording labels have struggled the most in relation to the digital revolution.

“In 2009 digital formats comprised a record of 41 per cent of total music shipments in the United States. This is an increase from 34 per cent in 2008, and 25 per cent in 2007. The total digital music market reached $3.1 billion for 2009. Digital downloads continued double di- git growth in the past year reaching $2.0 billion, 19 per cent growth over 2008, a total of $1.7 billion.” (RIAA 2009 Year-End Shipment Statistics)

10 10 2.4.6. Decent geare Compared to few years ago the style of hip hoppers has changed. In the past, the appearance of hip hoppers was very dark and bling bling. They wore too big trousers, bandanas, gold necklaces and baseball shirts. Nowadays hip hop artists wear decent clothes like a jeans, a t-shirt and a jacket.

Jay-z in the past Jay-z nowadays

2.5. Opportunities and Threats 2.5.1. Opportunities - Adjusting the image of LU to generate more brand awareness. - Creating more content (video clips) for the target group to create a bigger fan base on social media. - By making video clips the performance of LU will be more professional.

2.5.2.Threats - People can associate LU as a rapper with a bad image. - LU could not be recognized in the media that could be interested for LU. - In Amsterdam there are many rappers-talents that want to break through in the music industry.

Dutch youth are on top in social network use in Europe (Figure 1). Young web surfers, from 16 till 25 years, are increasingly using social networks to exchange information like messages or news on a chat site, they are joining a newsgroup, they are having online discussions in forums, they are reading blogs or they exchange text messages directly.

The use of social media decreases with age. In the age group 25-55 years old there are 54 per cent of the people active on social networks in the Netherlands.

15 15 5. Objectives

5.1. Knowledge At the end of December 2013, 10 per cent of the Dutch people between 18 and 30 years old, knows LU as a rapper. This involves 200.000 Dutch people.

5.2 Attitude At the same time, the main goal is to make clear to LU’s target group that he has a story behind his raps. People have to understand the stories about his life. LU wants to create positive associations and sympathy with his songs.

6. Strategy

In the internal analysis is described what the current image and the desired image of LU is. Between the current and desired image there is a gap. To reduce this gap the video clip is chosen as a communication tool. By making this video clip, the objectives knowledge and attitude can be achieved simultaneously. In this video clip is shown how LU changed his life from the past to the future. The concept of the video clip is described in the next chapter. In addition to this, different kinds of social media will be used. The video clip will be posted on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. These social media tools will be used to reach more brand awareness after his image is changed. To stand out of the crowd and reach more brand awareness it is important to add a something special to the video clip. If the audience shares and likes the video clip on social media they can win LU his album and two VIP tickets for his next concert.

16 16 7. Concept Change your mindstate!

Rapper LU’s lyrics are several times about changing your mind, from negative to positive. In this strategic advisory plan, LU’s own thoughts and own texts are used on his own positive change as an artist and the growth that LU pass through to become a well known rapper. This refers to the change of his image, from seedy lowlife rapper to a successful artist. To get there, LU goes through several phases in his life. The past, the present and the future.

In the video clip, this is shown by a song that has the best connection with those phases. Per phase of his life the rapper is changing and LU is improving his knowledge and attitude. By emphasizing the different contrasts, the phases will be clearly visible. This makes obvious that LU is growing as rapper and that he has potential to become a real artist.
