The artist I chose for this particular assignment is Prince Cat-Eyez. One of the reasons I chose this particular artist is because he happens to be a great friend of mine, and because he is a self-made public figure. Prince Cat-Eyes has, in my opinion, successfully uses social media to promote his material, and give continuous updates on his tours, and new releases.
Some of the channels he utilizes include Face Book, and Twitter.
When any of his fans visit his profiles they will be able to read his biography, accomplishments, new material, and upcoming events. Prince Cat-Eyez has successfully used these channels to put his name out in the industry, and booked many gigs in different events.
It is very important to mention also that another social media channel he uses is YouTube. If any of his fans type his name they will find some of his most recent videos. He has created an image and a style that stand out. This particular channel is by far the most effective because this is the finalized product. This is what the public ultimately sees, and what gives him the name and reputations he made for himself. In addition, his My Space profile gives his fans access to pictures, bio, and free music.
Aside from social media, Prince Cat-Eyez also resorts to networking channels as part of his marketing efforts. He has different contacts with recording studios, and booking agents he has worked with in the past. Prince Cat-Eyes is on the right path by combining social media with a networking channel because this is crucial to any artist or business that want their name to be known. By creating a social media network you can reduce your social networking efforts significantly and still get the best results from it. By integrating the 2 you not only can monitor the outcome your efforts produced but also how others in the industry are achieving their goals and hitting target markets (virtualsocialmedia.com, 2010).
I would suggest that this artist run his own website with all his information from Bio, pictures, music, downloads and such. He can use his existing channels to promote it, for example he can include a Twitter or Face Book button on the website. He can also look into different SEO options to drive traffic to his website (i.e. pay-per-click, and such) and increase his brand awareness.
