Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recover
2. The primary focus of a music video is to sell the artist rather than the
song itself. Music videos create a representation of the artist, which
helps them gain popularity with audiences. The history of music
videos links to the proliferation of technology. For example, the rise in
proliferation in television, portable CD players, etc. allowed music
videos to start out and be accessible by worldwide audiences.
3. 1950s & 60s
Before music videos came about, audiences had to go to the cinema to see their favourite
artists. This was because artists would take to acting roles in feature films in order to gain
worldwide popularity. An example of this is Elvis, who made his first acting debut in ‘Love
Me Tender’ in 1956. In total, Elvis featured in 33 films. The Beatles are another example of
artists who used the medium of film to promote themselves before music videos existed.
However, in their films they would play themselves rather than play a character as part of a
narrative. In 1964, they released A Hard Day’s Night, which for the audience was almost like
viewing a day in the life of The Beatles. The film contained all original songs, and it was
revolutionary in that it changed the representation of how artists presented themselves. In
addition, The Beatles also released the album of the same name at the same time as the film
release. This shows that the use of synergy was being used as early as the 60s.
4. 1960s (Continued…)
The Beatles and other artists, who produced promo films and early videos, can
also be credited with being majorly influential in establishing the conventions of
music videos. For example, in The Beatles’ short promo film for their single
‘Paperback Writer’ in 1965, there is the use of performance, montage editing,
specific camera shots (e.g. close-ups), and mise-en-scene related to instruments,
all of which appear in contemporary music videos.
5. 1970s
In 1975, came the release of the music video for Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ on Top of
the Pops. This is generally considered to be were music videos began, as it technically
was the first one in video tape format. Bohemian Rhapsody set the conventions for music
videos of the rock genre. An example of this is how within the video, there are a lot of
low angle shots which make the artists dominant in the frame, highlighting their new-found
dominance in the world of music. There are also lots of lighting and silhouette
effects used, as well as the video being edited to the beat. £4000 was spent on creating
this music video, which was a large budget at the time it was produced, and this was
clear by the better quality of the video and the complex effects used, compared to some
of the earlier promo videos which artists released. Furthermore, when Queen released
Bohemian Rhapsody as a single, without a video, it only reached number twelve on the
singles chart. However, when the music video was released, the single shot straight up to
number one, and stayed there for nine weeks. Therefore, this shows the power music
videos have, even way back when they were a new form of medium.
6. 1980s
It wasn’t actually until the early 1980s, when MTV started out, that music videos became an
integral and important part of music culture. This new medium brought synergy and cross media
convergence into the music industry. MTV allowed artists to promote their songs on television
rather than radio. This meant that artists began to get exposure through visual means rather than
their music. Image and representation became increasingly more important. Artists began
creating an iconic image for themselves, which would help them gain worldwide popularity and
turn them from an artist into a star. An example of this is Madonna. In her ‘Vogue’ video, image
is the key concept. She uses 1940s iconography, such as Marilyn Monroe, and therefore places
herself into the same category as these icons. The video is purely visual, as there are no
instruments or musical equipment present, keeping the focus on ‘the look’ rather than the music.
Additionally, after the release of ‘Vogue’, a craze of ‘voguing’ spread worldwide. This is a perfect
example of how music videos started to effect the way people behaved, reflecting the rapid
development of their importance in the world by this point. Videos started selling the song,
rather than the other way round.
7. 1980s (Continued…)
Music videos then entered a new territory, with the release of Michael Jackson’s 13
minute long video for Thriller in 1983. It had a budget of $500,000, which was very high
for the time. The video is often named the most influential video of all time. Within the
video, there are cross overs of different mediums, as it incorporates film too. No one had
seen anything like it before, with several levels of diegesis, very complex mise-en-scene
(especially the use of makeup), and the use of elaborate choreography and performance,
alongside the narrative. As well as making a huge impact in the world of music, it also
used iconography of horror, helping to push the boundaries in the horror genre as a
whole. In addition, the Thriller video tends to be considered as post-modern in style.
8. 2000s – Present Day
By the mid-2000s, convergence became more significant as MTV and its sister channels focused
less on showing music videos like they did in their early years, and more on other mediums,
such as Reality TV. Due to this, music videos began to be marketed online, on platforms such as
YouTube. YouTube was also a massive development in terms of the production values of the
music video. Now that music videos had taken to the internet, they could become viral, and
reach audiences worldwide within a matter of seconds. Therefore, this was an incredibly positive
development for artists and their record labels. An example of a music video that went viral is
Gangnam Style by Psy. The video was released in 2012, and quickly gained millions of views.
Now in 2014, it has reached over 2 billion views. Despite the vast use of the internet to view
music videos, there are still television channels dedicated to music videos, but they are less
popular and common these days. In fact, some artists have moved away from filmic high
production value format and started using ‘Lo-Fi’ internet clips instead. Furthermore, music
videos are an element of an overall marketing strategy but due to their major growth in
popularity and importance, they can now be considered as a genre with their own sub-genres
within it.
9. Continued…
Years on, and looking at contemporary music videos, there are still major similarities to the early
products that put music videos on the map. Despite us having more complex technology, bigger
budgets and access to a wider range of mediums nowadays, the conventions which early music
videos established are still followed. A couple of examples of more modern music videos are
Beyoncé – Single Ladies, and Ok Go – The Writing’s on the Wall. In the Single Ladies video,
Beyoncé goes back to basics. It is completely performance based, and the mise-en-scene and
editing are very simplistic. However, this simplicity is very fresh and effective, and is like a
breath of fresh air in comparison to the complex and sometimes frantic videos a lot of artists
produce these days. This makes the video memorable, and sells the artist in this way. In the
video for The Writing’s on the Wall, the band uses just one shot throughout the whole thing. The
lack of cinematography and editing is complemented by the extremely well thought out and
complex mise-en-scene, as the way they manipulate their surroundings makes up the video, so
the video stands out from the crowd in this way. Therefore, modern day music videos incorporate
the conventions and specific aspects of the early music videos, but put a contemporary twist on
it to keep it up to date. In this way, music videos are continually developing.
