+Brief Introduction

The MMVA’s was first established in 1990

Stands for MuchMusic Video Awards

Held annually, Downtown Toronto (Queen Street West)

The event is to recognize Canadian and International music artists, directors, producers and cinematographers for their accomplishments

+What are the MMVA’S

• Very unique in it’s stage layout. This method increases it’s brand awareness and brand image

• Growing every year

• Voting is made to be convenient to consumers and can be done online

• Nominated based on popularity during the year and votes by their fans

+Why these 2 magazines?

+Media Costs

Magazine People Magazine Famous MagazineCPM Male= 1124 Female= 2418

So the total amount of people who saw the ad = 3542 So, 3542/1000=3.542 units.Therefore they have 3 units and the total cost is $29,215 for a 4 color 1-page ad.CPM=29,215/3=9,738.33$

Male= 475 female= 619So the total amount of people who see the ad is 1094. 1094/1000= 1.094Therefore they have 1 unit with a total cost of $28,750.CPM= $28,750/1=$28,750

Frequency of Ad Because the event starts around June we should advertise 4 months in advance just to get the consumers interested and engage them with our campaign. I think we should have 1 page 4-color ad in flare for 4 months before the event starts.

Famous Magazine is not as popular as People Magazine is, that’s why we are just going to have our ad in this magazine for 2 months. Famous Magazine is distributed monthly So therefore 1 page 4 color ad in flare for 2 months is just right to fit out budget.

Total Cost People magazine is distributed weekly so therefore, if our ad were placed in the magazine every other week then it would be distributed 8 times in the 4 months. $29,215 x 8= $233,720

With our ad being viewed once each month for 2 months makes our total cost $28,750 x 2= $57,500

+Why these 2 magazines?

They are well known and not that expensive. With enough publicity we’re still left with $8,780

They already come with their own fan base and brand image

People magazine and Famous are great sources for the latest celebrity gossip, they always have the latest new of the celebrity world

Their targeted market is similar to that of the MMVA’s

They are at a maturity stage therefore fan base is stable

+Statistics

“Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and co-host Selena Gomez helped MuchMusic outdraw everything in prime time in Canada with 1,009,000 overnight, estimated MMVA viewers.” (Yeo)

+Ethical Issues

In 2010 co-host Miley Cyrus supposed

to be known as a Disney character

is going wild.

In 2011 co-host Selena Gomez

also supposed to be known as

a Disney star is seen wearing a

super short skirt.

+Trends & Forecasts

Increase in brand awareness and brand image because more people are getting to know the MMVA’s by the day.

With each new celebrity performing for the MMVA’s his/her fan base comes along too, increasing the show’s publicity and spreading awareness

most-watched broadcast in

MuchMusic history, with a 67%

increase in viewers 18 to 34.
