The document discusses how a band promotes their new album and music video across various platforms using consistent branding. Their website landing page features the album cover image to promote album purchases. It also promotes their music video on YouTube using the same thumbnail. The website allows consumers to buy the album or watch the music video. Consistent branding, like the same artist font, is also used across merchandise like albums, mugs and t-shirts to reinforce the artist's image. Social media is used to build the artist's following and share behind-the-scenes content to create excitement.

1. Our landing page’s background has the same image that
appears on the front of our album. This means that the
viewer is immediately made aware of their ability to
purchase this album as soon as they click onto our
webpage. It also means that this image is reinforced into
the consumer’s memory, increasing their likeliness to
remember the product and artist.
Our website promotes our new music video which
also appears on our Youtube channel. The same
thumbnail is used in order to create synergy and
make the video easily identifiable on any platform.
The ‘Get the album’ button on our landing page links
directly to our music page. Here, the consumer has the
option to buy Layla’s latest album and may also watch
the music video for her song ‘Blue Lights’. This example
of cross media convergence allowed us to create a
consistent campaign by allowing us to advertised our
different media products in one place.

2. It was also important that we created synergy in
our merchandise. For example, by using the same
font for Layla Obi’s name wherever it appeared we
created a consistent image across all platforms
ranging from the Album cover to our Mugs.
Another example of synergy within merchandise
was when we used the same image that appears
on the inner right panel of our Digipak on one of
our T-shirts. This once again reinforces our Artist’s
image.

3. In order to enter our website competition you had to be following all of
the official Layla Obi social media accounts. This was a way for us to
encourage consumers and build up our online following.
Our website has exclusive content such as the
News page which gives the consumer details
about Layla Obi’s current affairs. This gives
viewers an incentive to visit the website in
particular. This adheres to the marketing
theory as it gives this product something that
is different to the other products in the
marketing campaign, yet still serves the same
purpose of promoting one project.
On Instagram fans had the opportunity to take to take a look at exclusive
behind the scene footage of Layla’s shoot. The outfit worn can later be
seen in the final music video, creating a consistent image.
