Current Marketing Strategy
STR as a brand from the feedback and research we have done, is pretty much inconsistent and vague.
As of now they have pre dominantly no marketing strategy apart from their digital activities every now and then . That involve majorly FB contests and updates.
According to them their "marketing" is in their "music" and they don't want to spam people with too much coverage(which has not worked for them very well previously). Their gigs are their marketing strategy as their on stage presence is actually what defines them.
Our intentions for the brand
Our advertising and marketing strategy revolves around re-branding the Band in a way where the fans get to know the Band and its every aspect; and connects to the music and forms and opinion about it rather than being vague about it.
The core of the strategy being re-branding and repositioning the image of the band.
The mediums that we are using are
-digital
-print
-television(if possible)
-radio
Advertising till date
As mentioned before, their music is their advertising and marketing. And considering that is their view on the subject, they haven't really done much on that front.
Press and OOH-Their international gigs have got incredible response and have got them quite a few articles in newspapers, magazines, blogs etc.
TV-For their first album they came out with a video , which played on Vh1 .
Radio- They have done stints on Pirate Radio and their songs have played on other local radio channels.
Goals
-Rebrand and Reposition the brand STR through their album launch
-Establish each member as a brand to connect with and on the whole STR as a brand to reckon with
-STR fan base should increase and no of people with an "opinion about the band" should also show a marked growth.
-make the audience connect with the music and the album
- network for and of the Band to increase manifold.
