I will define the components of the artist’s image and the artist brand together with the processes of artist image management and artist branding. I will also discuss the role of publicity in the creation and development of artist brands. Because of the lack of tradition and a common language with which the record companies’ personnel would deal with artist brands and image related questions, I have also felt the need to present the conceptions of how the recording industry workers perceive the concepts of ‘artist’s image’ and ‘artist brand’. I will discuss the research questions in the contexts of the Digital Experience Economy and celebrity culture. I will reveal how the digital business environment and Experience Economy principles have affected and are expected to affect artist image management and artist brands. The Digital Experience Economy is defined through the theories of Joseph B. Pine and James H. Gilmore together with David Kusek and Gerd Leonhard. The celebrity culture I will examine mainly through the hypotheses of Chris Rojek. The theories of image management and image formation I base for the most parts on the notions of Elisa Ikävalko and Erkki Karvonen. The theories of branding and marketing communications rely mainly on the conceptions of David A. Aaker, Erich Joachimsthaler and Philip Kotler. The empiric part of the study is conducted as a qualitative research. I have interviewed seven record company employees that have had a key role in the development of current Finnish artist brands. The interview data has been analysed using the methods of Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. The study results show that the Finnish recording industry workers conceive an artist’s image as a preliminary stage of an artist brand. An image is developed to a brand as a result of the artist’s consequent behaviour and the consequent marketing communications from the record company’s part. The study results also show that record companies cannot control the publicity or the formation of the artist’s image and artist brand. The only person who can have a significant effect on the formation of the image and the brand is the artist himself. However two different lines of branding processes were discovered: branding-from-the-inside and branding-from-the-outside. In the branding-from-the-inside record companies let the artist brand to develop on its own. This method is mostly used with singer-songwriters and artists that aim for long careers. The branding-from-the-outside method is more frequently used with phenomenon artists and artists that suddenly gain publicity. In the branding-from-the-outside method record companies take a more active role in advising the artists. In both the branding methods the role of the musical content was emphasised. All the interviewees underlined the importance of a good song in the success of an artist. Otherwise no single formula of building artist brands was found. The study results indicate that artists cannot be branded in the same way as traditional products. This fact was also demonstrated in the application of brand theories to the interview data. The brand theories I had selected for this study proved to be difficult to apply to the praxis of artist branding. Key Words Artist brands, artist image management, publicity management, brand marketing, digital experience economy. Additional Information TABLE OF CONTENT 1. INTRODUCTION 1 1.1.

INTRODUCTION In this thesis I will examine how Finnish record companies create and manage artists’ images and artist brands for the purposes of selling popular music. It seems to be rather common that when examining popular culture and its products, we easily engage ourselves in a discussion about the relationship between art and commercialism, as if they were contradictory forms of existence. Commercialised art products are often seen as lacking artistic quality. But as John Fiske (1989: 23) points out, even though popular culture is industrialised, and its commodities are produced and distributed by a profit-motivated industry, popular culture cannot only be defined in terms of consumption, it can also be perceived as an active process of generating and circulating meaning and pleasure within a social system. All through this thesis my approach in understanding music industry includes both aspirations, i.e. the artistic and commercial objectives that must be taken into consideration when aiming to develop artist brands. 1.1. Why Study Artist Image Management and Artist Brands? Before going any further in presenting image management and branding theories it is necessary to explain why I have chosen the ‘artist’ as a branding object instead of music and records. What makes artists so significant for the recording industry? Already in his 1987 writings Peter Wicke (1987: 133) noted that a star cult brings capital to the music industry. He argued that since a record only has a life cycle of around 60 to 120 days and sales over longer periods are an exception, the image conception should primarily be concentrated on the personality of the musician or the collective personality of the band, for their commercial viability is normally higher. According to Wicke it is easier in the long run to run a star with assured sales than to have to work on a series of one-offs. If the band has a stable image, this can be carried over onto each of its records, which considerably reduces costs. Also Maiju Varilo (2003: 48) argues that star culture is one of the most important standardisation methods with which the recording industry can affect the usage value of its products. Stardom most likely guarantees the success of a record. Thus it is an important task of the producers to find star material in new artists so that the artist’s potential can be utilised in a profitable way.

(liite vain painetussa versiossa) Tiedotusoppi Maaliskuu 2013 Suomessa on ainoastaan kourallinen todellisia rocktähtiä. HIM-yhtyeen keulakuva Ville Valo on yksi heistä. Pro gradu -tutkielmani tarkoituksena on selvittää, miten suomalaiset musiikkilehdet ovat osallistuneet rocktähti Ville Valon tähtikuvan rakentumiseen lehtijuttujensa välityksellä. Valon tähtikuvan rakentumista tarkastelen suhteessa alan tutkimukseen ja kirjallisuuteen. Selvitän tutkielmani avulla myös hieman Valon suhdetta musiikkilehtien toimittajiin ja pohdin samalla, mitä Valo-tapaus kertoo suomalaisesta musiikkijournalismista. Päädyin tarkastelemaan Valon tähtikuvan rakentumista juuri musiikkilehdissä muun muassa, koska on loogista tutkia muusikon tähtikuvan muodostumista juuri musiikkilehdissä. Mukana tutkimuksessani on yhteensä viisi suomalaista musiikkilehteä: Inferno, Rumba, Rytmi, Soundi ja Sue. Tutkielmani teoriaosuus koostuu niin tähteyttä kuin musiikkijournalismia käsittelevästä kirjallisuudesta, sillä tutkimusaiheeni kannalta juuri tähteys ja musiikkijournalismi ovat ydinroolissa. Tutkimusmenetelminä tutkielmassani käytän määrällistä analyysia ja diskurssianalyysia.

The CD is compiled from at least 3 different performances and while I found the sound to be adequate to mediocre, the quality of their material does seem to shine through. While I wouldn’t put the band in my own personal Top 10 of 1970’s rockers, they are pretty good. I think it is a shame I wasn’t musically aware in the 70’s because I probably would have liked the band. They’ve got a lively and energetic sound tied to that particular era and it does keep the ears engaged, even during the first half of the disc where the quality of the recording isn’t even as good as some bootlegs I’ve listened to over the years. The audio quality is the biggest problem I had with the entire disc. I think if you are going to reissue this type of album, you really need to make the sound more Official Site presentable than what a typical bootlegger could accomplish. You want to check out tracks like “Detroit Girls”, “Any Way That You Want It”, and “Cherry Baby” in particular, but surprisingly at least to me, each song is pretty good. Search Amazon: If you like the 70’s rock era, you probably know of the band. You’ll definitely like this release.

  • In Focus the Making of the Visitors
    People Need Love – the first ABBA song Waterloo was ABBA’s first single, right? Yes – and no. Join us as we explore the story behind People Need Love, the very first single released by the group that later reached worldwide fame under the name ABBA. Party people failure In this day and age, when pop stars with little previous stage experience achieve instant number one hits through participation in television shows such as Pop Idol and American Idol, it is sobering to be reminded how long it actually took before ABBA achieved worldwide success. Although many in the 1970s regarded the four Swedes as a ”manufactured” band, very much along the lines of the groomed, styled and choreographed overnight sensations of the early 21st Century, nothing could be further from the truth. Not only had the individual members spent a decade performing, touring and recording in earlier groups or as solo artists before they grabbed the world’s attention with ’Waterloo’ in April 1974, by that time ABBA themselves had already been making pop music together for two years – and four years had passed since they first attempted a collaboration. Confused? Read on. The early 1970s was a somewhat insecure period for Björn, Benny, Agnetha and Frida. Benny had left his previous group, The Hep Stars, and although Björn was still making records with his group, the Hootenanny Singers, he knew he couldn’t count on them for any future career advancement. Furthermore, Björn and Benny wanted to focus their attention on their partnership in songwriting and record producing, and perhaps not be performers so much anymore.

    55 • LÄHIKUVA • 1/2021 Yrjö Heinonen Yrjö Heinonen, dosentti, musiikkitiede, Turun yliopisto EUROVIISUESITYKSEN AUDIOVISUAALINEN RAKENTUMINEN: ”Sata salamaa” (1987), ”La dolce vita” (1989) ja ”Tule luo” (1993) Eurovision laulukilpailu on 65-vuotisen historiansa aikana muuttunut kansal- listen radio- ja tv-yhtiöiden välisestä sävellys- ja sanoituskilpailusta eri mai- den ja niitä edustavien laulajien tai yhtyeiden väliseksi esiintymiskilpailuksi siten, että tapahtuman viihteellisyys ja kilpailullisuus on samalla lisääntynyt. Tarkastelen artikkelissani kolmen Suomea vuosina 1987–1993 kilpailussa edustaneen esityksen audiovisuaalista rakentumista erityisesti viihteellisyyden, kilpailullisuuden ja kansallisten piirteiden esiin tuomisen tai tuomatta jättä- misen näkökulmasta. Analyysi nostaa esiin eroja ja yhtäläisyyksiä esitysten audiovisuaalisessa rakentumisessa sekä valottaa musiikin, sanoituksen, näyttä- möllepanon ja monikamerakuvauksen/live-editoinnin välisiä suhteita esitysten toteutuksessa ja televisioinnissa. Johdanto Eurovision laulukilpailu on televisioitu laulukilpailu. Toteamus kuulostaa itsestäänselvyydeltä, mutta sen voi lukea painotuksesta riippuen ainakin kahdella tavalla. Jos painotetaan sanaa laulukilpailu, viitataan tapahtumaan, jossa Euroopan yleisradioliiton (EBU) jäsenmaiden radio- ja televisioyhtiöiden edustajikseen valitsemat laulut kilpailevat vuosittain suorassa televisiolähe- tyksessä voitosta eli parhaan edustuskappaleen (laulun) arvonimestä. Jos taas painotetaan sanaa televisioitu, toteamus tarkoittaa, että esittäjä,
