Snoop is a hugely successful multi award winning artist spanning 3 decades. He has partnered with numerous types of businesses to gain both wealth and PR.
Most recently, he has elevated his volume of followers by collaborating with Just Eat, creating visibility to listeners & viewers of all ages around the UK and US.
Snoop's strength in collaborating with other artists and businesses grows additional revenue through record sales, but also has a huge impact on his overall
market penetration and builds on his impressive fan base. While he has a specific brand of product that is deemed as being inappropriate to younger audiences,
some collaborations have helped in opening that market to a wider audience, for example working with artists like Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake and Pharrell
Williams has targeted more mainstream listeners. However, the overarching issues surrounding his persona creates a fragile market perception and this is an
area we must tackle.
His current personal wealth and partnerships will create an opportunity to build upon his current marketing strategy in a large scale format and we will use this as
a platform to build stronger connections to the industries he has recently tapped into, in order to build awareness in new markets.
To tackle market perception, our main focus will be primarily targeting the younger generation through an innovative marketing & PR campaign to ensure Snoop
is associated with a positive perception in households all around the UK, this target audience will be split into 2 categories, children under 12 and Teens.
Other issues to consider; Covid lockdown and Snoop's previous border issues in the UK; this could prevent his appearance in the UK, in this event we could
switch live concerts to live online events and focus more to live TV/Radio. Illegal downloading of music: this could prevent chart success which will require
external support and monitoring, Competitors for chart success,; we will need to ensure that through our marketing campaign, we can dominate social media
streams with engaging content.
Currently many families face financial issues due to loss of of jobs and furlough decrease in salary over last 12 months, this may reduce success from typical
revenue streams like, music downloads, ticket sales for live events (incl. travel costs), merchandising. Due to this price/value of product must be considered.
