description

The fifteen years since the launch of Napster have eviscerated what we once knew as the music industry. In the face of this free-fall, innovators within the music industry have had to re-think every aspect of their approach to marketing strategy. The scary truth that every business executive must acknowledge is that any industry can be swiftly and devastatingly Napster-ed. In this session, we will examine the how the re-invention of the music industry can inspire any industry to stay ahead of their Napster. With specific case examples and tangible tools, this session will both illuminate new ways of thinking and give attendees pragmatic ways of immediately applying this new thinking to their companies. Topics to be covered include: · Pharrell’s “Happy" and How to Design Hit Brand Experiences · Avicii, Aloe Blacc, and The Age of Liquid Expectations · Beats by Dre, Emily Dickinson, and the End of the Consumer Insight as We Know It The session will be led by John Greene, whose nearly 20 year career has been inspired by how creativity and commerce can combine to create transformational business results. As Senior Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at Translation, John leads all strategic efforts and co-manages one of the fastest-growing and most influential marketing agencies in the country. With services that range from strategic consulting to advertising to new product development, Translation has been dubbed “The McKinsey of pop culture” by Businessweek. An alumnus of Kellogg’s EMP 70, John looks forward to an afternoon of provocative discussion and far more hip-hop references than have ever graced a Kellogg classroom.

How the Re-Invention of the Music Industry Can Inspire New Approaches to Marketing Strategy

John Greene Kellogg School of Management

September 14, 2014

Hello.

Page 3: Kellogg miami slideshare
Page 4: Kellogg miami slideshare
Page 5: Kellogg miami slideshare

I believe the future of marketing innovation can be inspired by the re-

invention of the music industry.

Page 6: Kellogg miami slideshare

You want me to apply lessons learned from the music industry?!?

Page 7: Kellogg miami slideshare

Sometimes, re-invention happens only when

there is no other option.

Page 8: Kellogg miami slideshare

“For years, the record labels had a business model that was consistent and single-minded: (1) bundle together a dozen songs on a CD, (2) ship the discs out to retailers, and (3) collect money. “

Page 9: Kellogg miami slideshare

And then, suddenly, music could no longer be sold like cereal.

Page 10: Kellogg miami slideshare
Page 11: Kellogg miami slideshare

The scary news: Every industry has a Napster.

Page 12: Kellogg miami slideshare

The better news: You can be the Napster.

Page 13: Kellogg miami slideshare

Through a decade of collapse, innovators within the music industry have had to re-invent their approach to everything.

Page 14: Kellogg miami slideshare

And the re-invention in the music industry illuminates new ways of

looking at three fundamental questions that can help any industry

stay ahead of their Napster.

What do we really sell?

Who are our true competitors?

How do we inspire our customers?

Pharrell’s “Happy” and How to Design Hit Brand Experiences

#1: What do we really sell?

Page 17: Kellogg miami slideshare

#1: What do we really sell?

Page 18: Kellogg miami slideshare

“We rent DVDs.”

Page 19: Kellogg miami slideshare

“We sell film.”

Page 20: Kellogg miami slideshare

“We sell newspapers.”

Page 21: Kellogg miami slideshare

Products in any industry can be quickly and devastatingly Napster-ed.

Page 22: Kellogg miami slideshare

“Customers don’t buy hammers. They buy a beautifully hung picture on their wall.”

Page 23: Kellogg miami slideshare

$0.05 $5.00

Shift #1:

Products Experiences

Page 25: Kellogg miami slideshare

- Guy Oseary, Madonna’s manager

“In the past, people would tour to sell their albums; today they put out albums to promote their tours. The pendulum has swung.”

Page 26: Kellogg miami slideshare

It turns out that a hefty number of “MDNA” albums weren’t sold the usual way. For every ticket sold online to Madonna’s upcoming shows, purchasers automatically receive a copy of “MDNA.”  They get a link to a free purchase on ITunes, or they can send in their mailing address for a physical CD. It doesn’t matter if the concert ticket is $52 or $350.

Page 27: Kellogg miami slideshare

- John Philip Sousa, 1906

"I foresee a marked deterioration in American music and musical taste, an interruption in the musical development of the country, and a host of other injuries to music in its artistic manifestations, by virtue -- or rather by vice -- of the multiplication of the various music-reproducing machines."... The player piano and the gramophone strip life from real, human, soulful live performances.”

In partnership with McSweeny's, Beck's forthcoming Song Reader will be "an experiment in what the album can be at the end of 2012," there will be no CD, no LP, no mp3.  Just the sheet music, ready to be performed by anyone willing.

Page 28: Kellogg miami slideshare

What can Pharrell’s “Happy” teach us about designing contemporary brand experiences?

Page 29: Kellogg miami slideshare

“We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.”

- Friedrich Nietzsche

Yes, that Nietzsche.

That’s how powerful dance is.

Page 30: Kellogg miami slideshare

“Danceable grooves have just the right amount of gaps or breaks in the beats. Your brain wants to fill in those gaps with body movement.”

- Maria Witek, Arhaus University in Denmark

Page 31: Kellogg miami slideshare

Witek says that people all over the world agreed on which drum patterns made them most want to dance: “Not the ones that have very little complexity and not the ones that had very, very high complexity… but the balance between predictability and complexity.”

Page 32: Kellogg miami slideshare

Designing hit brand experiences: Molecules, Gaps, and the Right Amount of Surprise

Page 33: Kellogg miami slideshare

Think of your brand experience as a molecule of experiences from your customer’s perspective.

The Challenge: Only 1 in 3 young adults between the ages 21-27 have ever tasted Budweiser.

Start with your mission.

From products to experiences

Design the molecule that includes everything your customers experience; not just those that you directly create/sell.

Leave the right gaps for your customers to fill in on their own.

Page 43: Kellogg miami slideshare

Start with your mission.

Identify the core pillars of the customer experience.

Array their product offering off of the pillars of the experience.

Exercise #1: Brand Molecule

Identify opportunities for product expansion: new audiences and need states where they have yet to scale off of the core pillars of the experience.

For Londoners and tourists alike, Wednesday was a headache-inducing travel day in the city. In a new show of solidarity and anger against the taxi app Uber, around 12,000 London cab drivers suspended their service and took to the streets.

"We get customer feedback everyday saying, 'Hey I just sold my car; I don't need to pay for parking at home or work.' Lets say that's $500 a month for both. We just saved them $6,000 a year. ... I think that's why so many people are using Uber and getting rid of their cars."

Uber has made payments invisible by making the entire checkout experience, well, invisible. Getting out of the taxicab is the equivalent of checking out of the taxi, with payment automatically triggered at that moment. The overall experience is predictable and hassle-free.
