Music Case 1: launching Plan B’s album

• A ‘tweet to unlock’ campaign promoted via TV and online video pre-rolls where the hashtag #illmanorsalbum unlocked pre-released tracks.

• A ‘Tag London’ campaign where fans tweeted their opinions on the social and political climate using the hashtag #ILLMANORS. Subsequently, these were projected onto the Houses of Parliament, Olympic locations and other iconic London venues.

• More than 100,000 fans took part in the album’s launch party. This was streamed live online via YouTube.

• Online, mobile and in-game advertising via PS3 and Xbox provided platforms for teasers and homepage takeovers using music, games, film and lifestyle forums.

• Fans could vote for their favourite album track on Facebook to win tickets to Plan B’s performance at the iTunes Festival.

• The combined impact of the various initiatives resulted in 5.9m Facebook fans, 342,000 Twitter followers, 8.3m YouTube views of new album content and a boost in sales.

• Ill Manors became Plan B's second number one album in the UK, and was nominated for numerous best album awards including at the Brit Awards, the Mercury Music Prize, the MOBOs and the Urban Music Awards.

UK music acts have been some of the most quickest to embrace social media marketing - often as part of a multi-media strategy - to increase word of mouth, sharing and positive interest innew releases.The launch campaign for the Plan B album, Ill Manors, was a good example of this: it was powered by traditional and digital media working in tandem.The Ill Manors album was written as the soundtrack for the movie of the same name which the artist wrote and directed.

MUSIC CASE: LAUNCHING THE XX'S ALBUM VIA DATA VISUALISATION

• When The XX, the UK indie pop group, scored a word of mouth success with its debut release, XX, it also created a challenge for itself.

• The band's follow-up, Coexist, needed at least to match its predecessor's performance, and this time the band could no longer capitalise on its novelty as a new act.

• Working with Microsoft's Internet Explorer business, the group's record label,XL Recordings, part of Beggars Group, wanted to transform the word of mouth process into a dramatic experience that people could follow in real time and used data visualisation techniques to bring this to life.

• The label agreed to allow the music to be streamed free from a website for a limited period before the official release of the album to sales channels.

• The idea was to send the first streaming link to a single, "super-fan" of the group via Facebook and then chart how this link was forwarded on from fan to fan until it brought in listeners in many countries.

• After a slow initial start - it appeared that the original super-fan wanted to listen to the music first before sharing it - the site was eventually swamped by demand from millions of streaming users. The average listener streamed the music for more than two hours.
