Living Large – The Case of Live Nation
Executive Summary After the spun-off from the radio giant Clear Channel Communications in 2005, Live Nation, the world’s largest events and live music promoter is now preparing itself to go even bigger. Led by CEO Michael Rapino, Live Nation is revolutionizing the music industry from a concert business to a one-stop shop that would make every fan and artists musical ends meet. Live Nation’s arising strategy is to connect the artists to the fans in every aspect possible by going after the music star’s themselves rather than just their live music. In October 2007, Rapino signed a first-of-its-kind deal with Madonna and still has not shown signs of slowing down as it signed with other music stars and hopes to even add more.

    Summary Of David Marshall's 'New Kids On The Block'

    Within this week’s reading, finishing up with the music stardom unit, we read about the band “New Kids on the Block,” through David Marshalls input on the meaning of the Popular Music Celebrity. He explains how song writers developed the singers through sheet music and lyrics, connecting the performer to the audience. To continue, he explains how the growth of technology thus allowed the mass productions of songs, with portable music devices and radios, everyone was able to listen to their favorite music in their favorite environments. Marshall says, “Moreover, the activity of listening permitted the investment of personal experiences into the meaning of the music to a great degree than did concert performances” (198). Essentially, the portable…

    Nick Krewen Concert Review Analysis

    He mentions that Tesfaye already has five top-selling songs on Billboard this week, one of the most esteemed countdowns in North America. He also names some of the influential and powerful people in the music industry who also attended the concert such as Kardinal Offishall, Bell Media production president Randy Lennox and Universal Music Canada CEO Jeffery Remedios. This communicates that the Weeknd is very prominent in the music industry and he is attracting the attention of big names who see a great deal of potential in him. Above all, he mentions Tesfaye’s world tour which signifies that, not only is he popular in North America, but he is admired worldwide and enough fan around the world to fill stadiums and play shows. Another effective rhetorical device employed is diction. The author’s vocabulary is very informal and almost conversational in nature making the targeted age group more interested in reading this review. Due to the fact that the topic of the article is The Weeknd, those interested in reading this article are most likely are young adults that is why the word choice is colloquial and for ease of reading. Diction is also used to emphasize and further praise Tesfaye. He utilizes adjectives such as “buoyant”, “impressive” and “stratospheric” to describe each the concert and to prove that he is an outstanding performer…

    Luv Is Rage 2 Analysis

    Which is fine, because artists have been plagued by hits with just a fraction of the pathos “XO Tour Llif3” has. But Uzi has been an ascendant star for at least a year and a half: from promising rookie to SoundCloud darling to rap’s A-list and beyond. He’s proven himself a popular force with solo cuts like “Money Longer” and guest turns on Migos’ “Bad and Boujee” and Playboi Carti’s “Woke Up Like This”; dozens, hundreds of imitators across digital mixtape platforms cite him as a major creative influence, or at least a welcome distillation of whatever’s happening in and around the Atlanta scene. And yet in some small way, Uzi’s long-awaited Luv Is Rage 2 is a referendum on whether he can live up to the standard “XO Tour Llif3” set. The goal isn’t a streaming figure or a chart position, but a feeling.…

    Best Buy Marketing Strategy

    The store that I want to dive deeper into and throughly discuss is Best Buy. They are the world’s largest electronics chain, and a leader in music sales. Marketing management is at the second tier of its organizational structure, meaning it is at a very high importance level for the corporation (Kelley). They have over 800 retail outlets and an extensive online site that offers even more products than what is stocked on the shelves. All of this translates to great promotional and marketing opportunities for a new release. Both the tried-and-true physical stores and the technically backed and maintained website allow an artist’s new material to stand out and get noticed over other retail markets.…

    Edm Influence

    One of the biggest changes EDM has brought to the music industry is that due to most of the artists’ knowledge of computers, not to mention the day and age we live in where we are all connected over the internet, they are able to take advantage of communicating and promoting over the internet to reach out to their fans. This allows these artists to listen to their fans and give them what they are asking for. Contrary to the EDM artists, many rock and pop artists have “used and abused them [fans], sold them overpriced CDs, tried to sell them music they didn't like by using stupid gimmicks” (Doherty) causing them to lose their foothold on the charts and allow EDM to step right in.…

    Strategic Management and Live Nation

    Live Nation may be using two kinds of growth strategies;Concentration, which focuses in its primary line of business (in this case the musicindustry), and "increasing the number of products and services offered or markets served in that primary business"(Robbins & Coulter, 2009), and horizontal integration by combining with competitors. In 2009, Live Nation announced they were merging with ticketmaster to "expand into a complimentary business" (Rapino, 2009).With the concentration growth strategy, Rapino is able to offer many products such as concert tickets, merchandise, videos, and albums when other companies only offer one or a couple of these products. Using the horizontal integration growth strategy Rapino is able to eliminate competition and keep profit inside the company."The key to Live Nation's growth strategy is the ability to connect to those millions of people who attend shows every year" (Robbins & Coulter, 2009). By keeping a database that includes contact information for every fan (or client) that Live Nation has ever had,Live Nation is able to "connect" fans to their artists with greater ease. By strengthening the artist to fan connection, the purchase of merchandise and tickets is easier and helps Live Nation to keep growing and profiting.How might SWOT analysis be useful to Mike Rapino? A SWOT analysis is an analysis of the organization's strengths, weaknesses,opportunities, and threats (Robbins and Coulter, 2009). The SWOT analysis proved be very useful to Mike Rapino. He would be able to identify what his mission, goals, and strategies are for the current company. Mike currently states Live Nation is the "future of the business". His current strategy is to connect the artists to the fans. He is not satisfied with just this strategy. Mike is now starting to focus on creating a new strategy.He wants to create a one-stop operation that would handle all the musical needs of the artist (Robbins and Coulter, 2009).In a SWOT analysis Mike…

    Live Music vs. Studio Music

    When an artist is out on tour, the fans benefit from more than just the music. When a fan buys a ticket to a concert, that fan not only hears the music that the artist is playing, but sees the artist perform, and the concert becomes an entire visual experience. Some bands use many elaborate effects on stage that really turn the live band into a live act. This adds a significant amount of aesthetic value to the performance with all the bells and whistles such as lights and LED screens, pyrotechnics, and even stage props. The alternative rock band The Flaming Lips is well known for their ever-changing, eccentric performances and use of fun props onstage. Lead singer, Wayne Coyne, is well known for entering into a giant inflatable bubble and using it as a device for crowd surfing. At the beginning of every show, this clear, plastic ball is blown up and he enters through a Velcro patch. He uses it much like a hamster ball to walk over the crowd for a few minutes before returning to the stage. This allows for interaction between the audience and the artist, which cannot be achieved through listening to an album. The multiple animal costumes, confetti machines, and giant laser hands that the band uses onstage give them, alongside many other touring acts, a unique quality. The hard rock band KISS is another musical act that has become renown for their performances. Waddell’s article “Touring: Rock Solid” shows that they are ranked as no. 21 on Billboard’s top touring acts and have sold out all 35 of their shows on their recent tour. Much of this is due to their stage presence.…
