Brief Three from AQA
‘You work for the marketing department of a small record company called Nutune Records, and are involved in the promotion of a new band/musical act for their forthcoming debut album and twelve date tour.
As part of the promotion the act needs to create an image that will allow them to appeal to an audience with an interest in an established musical genre. The marketing materials should also contribute to constructing a recognisable brand for the act.
You are targeting a largely youth-based market but are keen to promote the act in a way that will appeal to more than just a niche audience.
The act already has a Facebook and MySpace presence which has generated some interest and the record company now wishes to use more mainstream marketing techniques to reach a bigger and a more diverse audience.
