The Entertainment Marketing Revolution Is Among Us

The Entertainment Marketing Revolution Is Among Us

And we’re loving every second of it.

It’s 2016 and the marketing industry is thriving.

Universal Music has recently partnered with PR and creative agencies One Green Bean and Host to form a brand new entertainment marketing agency. Sourcing a core team of eight from the Universal Music brand itself, this exciting new agency (Bring) will focus on pairing brands with artists and influencers including the likes of Lady Gaga, Mike Tyson and Troye Sivan.

With the advertising market becoming increasingly saturated, brands are faced with the challenge of finding interesting ways to entertain people. One of the most effective ways of doing this is by enlisting the help of celebrities. Just look at how many Super Bowl commercials this year featured big names. But what do you do when nearly every celebrity out there is tied to a contract with another brand?

You call on other social influencers of course. A great example of this can be found in Carlsberg’s latest campaign. The brand recently teamed up with Anto Sharp, of ‘That’s Going Straight In My Basket’ vine fame, and car experts Yiannimize to create a motorised trolley.

Just 40-something days into 2016 and we’ve seen so many of these fantastic partnerships already. Bring will be pairing up artists and influencers with brands through a ‘Creative In Residence’ program, which will give brands access to a wide range of high profile talent. What’s so great about Bring’s roster is that it isn’t just limited to artists, Instagramer @hellomissmay, actor Kevin Hart and boxing icon Mike Tyson are just some of many.
