Study Notes

Ethics

Ethics is a system of moral principles that affect behavior, decision-making, and personal/social lives.
It's also described as moral philosophy.
Ethical considerations are crucial in how companies market their products.

Entertainment & Marketing

Entertainment includes movies, television, radio, music, concerts, video games, theme parks, etc.
The average American household spends approximately $2,900 annually on entertainment.
Spending varies widely, with high-demand entertainment options (like Taylor Swift tickets) exhibiting large price fluctuation.
The entertainment industry is a substantial $200 billion industry focused on entertainment, excitement and amusement.
Entertainment is influenced by media companies who dictate what types of entertainment consumers view and purchase.
Entertainment marketing is the process of promoting entertainment products to satisfy customer needs and wants.

Types of Brands & Strategies

There are three types of brands: manufacturer, intermediary, and generic
Manufacturer brands are owned by the product producer, offering various strategies:
- Multi-purpose branding: One brand name for all products. A benefit is the promotion is simplified, but if a product fails, the entire brand may suffer.
- Multi-branding: Each product in a line has its own name. A benefit is that a product failure doesn't affect the others. However, it's more expensive to individually market several products,
- Co-branding: Two or more manufacturers collaborate on a product. An advantage is reaching more customers, but a negative is that a failing partner can harm the other company's reputation.
Intermediary brands connect buyers and sellers without owning the product. Examples include agents for musicians or actors.
Generic brands represent a product category without a specific brand name.

New Product Development

Companies develop new products to satisfy consumer wants and needs; this entails researching and analyzing factors including competition and consumer preferences.
New product development frequently involves a series of steps including planning a protocol to identify consumers' needs, conducting SWOT analyses, testing consumer feedback, analyzing costs and legal factors, developing prototypes, and eventually implementing a launch.

A social media marketing campaign is a coordinated effort to raise customer awareness and loyalty through social media.
Successful examples like #ShotoniPhone (Apple) and Spotify Wrapped highlight strategies that effectively enhance brand awareness.
The aims of marketing campaigns includes goal setting, identifying the target audience, messaging and branding, selecting channels, budgeting, and evaluation.

Data mining on social media involves analyzing user-generated content (posts, comments, tweets) to gain insights about users or conduct research.
Social media influencers promote products or services to their followers and may have varying levels of influence. Types of influencers range from nano-influencers to mega-influencers across diverse categories (health, food, family, etc.).
Companies partner with influencers as a way to reach a large audience for a lower cost than traditional advertising. The success of influencer marketing is measured by factors such as engagement rate, campaign length, product industry, and influencer credibility.

Event Management & Promotion

Event management encompasses planning, organizing, executing, and evaluating events, crucial in the entertainment industry.
Important elements include venue selection, location, capacity, budgeting, marketing strategies (social media, influencer partnerships, advertising), logistic planning, and evaluation of success.

Product Life Cycle

The product life cycle demonstrates the stages from introduction to decline.
The four stages include introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. Each stage has key features and marketing strategies catered to the stage's specific challenges.
Introduction is characterized by low sales, high marketing costs, and focus on building awareness.
Growth demonstrates increasing sales and market share expansion.
Maturity is when market saturation leads to intense competition, and companies attempt to maintain share with price wars or product differentiation.
Decline sees sales diminishing, impacting profitability and potentially requiring companies to phase out products.

Experiential Marketing

Experiential marketing creates deeply memorable experiences.
Experiences are successful because they foster engagement, emotional connections, and brand authenticity, leading to lasting customer relationships.
Types of experiential marketing include pop-up events, sponsorship of live events, interactive technologies, and branded content. Experiential marketing benefits include stronger customer relationships, increased engagement through participation and social sharing, and brand loyalty creation.
