need in life is control

because his music is in the charts regularly with remixes he has done, he is also
mainstream because he lives a normal life with a family and isn’t going out of his way to
be different with his personality and style, although he does like to mix things up
sometimes with his music. And The explorer because of the music he produces himself
which is different and new and it doesn’t make the charts. he is also an explore
because he try’s out new ideas, for example loads of his song are in very unique genres
of music, so he is seeking out to explore new things.

8. How will I attract the
audience?
The audience we are trying to target are male and female
between the ages of 15-34. From our research in the previous
slides we have shown that from related artists in which song we
are making the video to is the same age group in which we are
also trying to attract. To promote and advertise our video, ads will
be shown on youtube with related songs, for example, in the
same genre of music or when they type in a related artist the
song sill come up in the suggesting box. Also a good FREE way
to advertise and promote nowadays in twitter and facebook.
These are the most popular apps today so by promoting on
these social medias we will be able to send a promotional
tweet/post to the people of the ages between 15-34. This will
then get recognition and will attract, likes/follows on facebook
and twitter. On these 2 pages updates will be made daily to show
the progression of how we, the group, are doing.
