  • Using Green Man Festival As a Case Study
    An Investigation to identify how festivals promotional techniques have developed over the years – using Green Man Festival as a case study Victoria Curran BA (hons) Events Management Cardiff Metropolitan University April 2018 i Declaration “I declare that this Dissertation has not already been accepted in substance for any degree and is not concurrently submitted in candidature for any degree. It is the result of my own independent research except where otherwise stated.” Name: Victoria Curran Signed: ii Abstract This research study was carried out in order to explore the different methods of marketing that Green Man Festival utilises, to discover how successful they are, and whether they have changed and developed throughout the years. The study intended to critically review the literature surrounding festivals and festival marketing theories, in order to provide conclusions supported by theory when evaluating the effectiveness of the promotional strategies. It aimed to discover how modern or digital marketing affected Green Man’s promotional techniques, to assess any identified promotional techniques and identify any connections with marketing theory, to investigate how they promote the festival towards their target market, and to finally provide recommendations for futuristic methods of promotion. The dissertation was presented coherently, consisting of five chapters. The first chapter was the introduction, providing a basic insight into the topics involved. The second contains a critical literature review where key themes were identified; the third chapter discussed the methodology used whilst the fourth chapter presents the results that were discovered, providing an analysis and discussion. The final chapter summarises the study, giving recommendations and identifying any limitations of the study.

  • DF Concerts 24/08/2010 19:27
    DF Concerts 24/08/2010 19:27 Promoting Business Martin Cloonan (University of Glasgow) and Simon Frith (University of Edinburgh) We are presently in the final year of a three year AHRC funded project on the history of live music promotion in the UK since 1950. Our interest is in the ways in which both the economy and the experience of live music have been affected by the social, cultural and technological changes in Britain over the last 60 years and our project is thus deliberately ambitious in scope. Here we want to focus on one aspect of the research: the nature of live music as a business. This interests us partly because it is a neglected topic (in as far as people have examined the economic history of music in Britain since 1950 they have focused on the rise—and more recent fall—of the record industry) and partly because the common sense knowledge of live music is so contradictory. The anonymous peer reviewer of one of our team’s academic papers dismissed the claims we made for promoters’ economic importance, on the grounds that, as everyone knows, promoters are just crooks and chancers, an interesting remark in the light of the rise in the last decade of the US corporations, Live Nation and AEG, who are now the dominant players in British live entertainment. Even during the course of our research media reporting has moved from gloomy accounts of live music venues closing to excited assertions that they are booming. What is clear is that the live music is an unusual kind of business and in this paper we will examine its peculiarities and their effect on its history.

  • Festival Industry and Funding Models
    Festival Industry and Funding Models This research report focussed on providing an insight into the music festival industry and in particular associated business models. Industry Overview UK Music estimates that 3.9 million people attended a festival in the year 20161. There are no official counts of how many music festivals are held in the UK, however they have become increasingly popular and estimates sit at well over 500 (see further sources). As there are many different forms of music festival such as single day festivals and bi-annual ones, it can be quite difficult to measure. One website tracking UK music festivals identifies there are 116 music festivals in the period of June 2018-2019 in the South West alone2. Due to the many music festivals in operation at present, one challenge that those in the industry face is market saturation. This has several potential consequences attached, primarily making it more difficult to sell tickets. Additionally, the associated costs such as hiring musicians, venues and catering also become higher as competition increases3. One of the ways the success of a music festival can be measured is through music tourism; non-local people travelling to attend a festival. Money is both injected into the festival and local economy from attendees that would otherwise not have been in the location. Music tourists contribute to the local economy both directly, through purchasing tickets and spending money at the festival, and indirectly such as through travel, accommodation and spending in the local economy. This value is distributed differently around the UK, with hubs like the South East and the South West having a greater share of music tourists than areas like the North East.
