Demi Lovato

 



Social Media 

DigiPack

Music Video

 

 

 

 

Where on this media form can you find a link/video promoting the other media forms? 

 

On her Instagram and Facebook she references the music video and shows snippets of it to encourage you to watch the full thing

 The digipack directly doesn’t link or promote any other media forms except for the obvious which is the music video

She links her Facebook, Instagram and Merch shop in the description of her Music Video on YouTube

Are the links interactive in any way? (Do they have a QR code? Are they linked to music apps?)

 

 She has a link tree in her bio that links to all her other social medias as well as her Spotify and apple music and her merch shop

 No there are to interactive links within the digipack only a common hashtag which is #DWTDTAOSO

 Yes the music video on YouTube has links that lead to the same places as the Social Media link tree

What evidence is there of branding across all three products? 

 

If yes, in what ways? (details)

 

 All the photos showing off the song have a common image of her with an effect on her face which makes it like distorted and she is always in an old fashioned looking dress this is made to show the psychedelic effect that happens when you take drugs this is what the song is talking about

 The digipack is a collage of relatively the same photos but with different colours and photos but the core colours are orange purple and blue and the font stays the same

 The music video visuals are quite different from the digipack look mainly because it is a story instead of some photos

How is each media form effective in promoting the other products beyond containing a link to them? Interviews? Teasers? Competitions to win one of them?

 

 She had an interview with Jimmy Fallon which she promoted on her Instagram to help promote the song which received 1.2 million views on YouTube and she also sang the song live

 Her digipack didn’t promote anything except for the song

 No

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 









Billie Eilish – Your Power

 

Social Media 

DigiPack

Music Video

 

 

 

 

Where on this media form can you find a link/video promoting the other media forms? 

 

 She has advertised it on her Facebook but not her Instagram she also provides a link to the music video

 The single doesn’t have its own digipack as it is made as advertisement to the album that she is going to release

 She has linked in her description her shop, music and social media

Are the links interactive in any way? (Do they have a QR code? Are they linked to music apps?)

 

 Her links in her social media lead to music and and other social media

 There are no links on the digipack as it is advertisement itself

 Yes as explained above

What evidence is there of branding across all three products? 

 

If yes, in what ways? (details)

 

 She has about 10 or more photos of her in a totally different style than people are used to seeing her in almost a magazine cover style this is all linked to her album which the song is in. The colours on the back of the album are the same as the colours of the dresses she wears

 The digipack aswell carries on this different style that she has taken on for the album

 She has kept the same beige tones and clothing in her music video and she has dyed her hair to blonde which is possibly to support her look

How is each media form effective in promoting the other products beyond containing a link to them? Interviews? Teasers? Competitions to win one of them?

 

 She has given her first taste of the album through this song so there haven’t been any interviews yet on this song they will most likely happen when she has released the full album although she did have one interview about her up and coming album

 No

 Taylor Swift - Reputation

Social Media 

DigiPack

Music Video

 

 

 

 

Where on this media form can you find a link/video promoting the other media forms? 

 

 She released this album back in 2017 so if you go back on her Instagram you can see her posts leading up to the release of the album, When it released she had videos telling people to go and watch it as well as links to the Music Video on Facebook

Her digipack was on her Instagram and they all had this bad girl look which promoted the album as the title was “Reputation” 

 She has links leading to things such as her store and apple music/Spotify as well as her social media

Are the links interactive in any way? (Do they have a QR code? Are they linked to music apps?)

 

 Yes her FaceBook links take you to the music video and her music streaming services

 No

 Yes as mentioned above

What evidence is there of branding across all three products? 

 

If yes, in what ways? (details)

 

 Her look for the whole album was reflecting the name of the album which was reputation so she has this bad girl look coming through the whole thing

 (See left)

 Some of her music videos carry on this look however she is made to look more classy and rich instead of the bad girl vibe

How is each media form effective in promoting the other products beyond containing a link to them? Interviews? Teasers? Competitions to win one of them?

 

 Her social media platforms were a good way of letting people know she was releasing an album. There are multiple articles about her and the meanings behind some of the songs

 The digipack did a good job of getting the look of the album across

 There isn’t many things available to show that the music video had much of an effect on the promotion and there are very little interview on the album

 The digipack keeps this green and blue colour throughout and he is always wearing black clothes sometimes leather jackets etc.

What methods do you think are most effective in promoting and marketing a new album?
The most effective things seemed to be having a good image of the song or album to come and try gaining as much hype as possible through fan interactions. Not only that but keeping continuity through the digipack and the photos shown on social media to give it on distinct, memorable look
