OVERVIEW

CHALLENGEA glance at the most popular songs of 2008 reveals a who’s who of household names: Alicia Keys(No One), Flo Rida (Low), Leona Lewis (Bleeding Love), Lil Wayne (Lollipop), Chris Brown (WithYou) and Usher (Love In This Club).

But how about Polow-Freache Jamal Fincher Jones? Ever heard of him? Or Faheem Najm, RyanTedder, James Schaffer and Tor Erik Hermansen. Sound familiar?

While the names may seem foreign, the songs they produce are among the best-selling titles in thecountry. These guys are the brains behind the beats and they have the hardest job in the musicindustry – create songs worth buying.

CHANCEA new reality-TV show is giving America a peek at the oft-overlooked world of music producers

while grooming tomorrow’s hit-makers. Who Got Next? School of Beats combines the head-to-head competition of “The Apprentice” with the drama of MTV’s “The Real World.”

Fifteen contestants from various music backgrounds will work, live and compete in a penthousesuite while being schooled in different areas to enhance their skills in and out of the studio. This

School of Beats curriculum will cover rock, rap, country and a number of music genres whilealso giving them crash courses in leadership, business and management. Through a series ofunexpected challenges, each undiscovered track master will show off their beats among a top-notchcrew of celebrity artists, DJs, corporate execs and pro athletes.

As the beat battles heat up, so do the stakes as producers are eliminated each episode. The winner

gets to record and produce an original song with a hip-hop superstar. School of Beats is the fast

track from the head of the class to the top of the charts!

AGE & SEX RACE/ETHNICITY

Who is The SCHOOL OF BEATS Viewer?

The show is positioned to successfully deliver the urban-minded young adult, ages 25 – 34 and the secondary groupswhom they influence. 30.1% earn $50,000 or more, and 13.6% earn $75,000+. The segment is composed primarily ofeducated, single, urban renters. It is a confident and independent group that doesn’t follow in the footsteps of earliergenerations but makes its own marks.

Psychographics:Young Adults 25 – 34 are the first generation to grow up without many historical constraints, but they also facie issueslike AIDS, drugs, gang wars, racial profiling, divorce and corporate downsizing which shape their music and socialactivism. Moreover, they are characterized as ambitious, independent, entrepreneurial and creative; they don’t followin their parents’ footsteps; they are more inclined to be “trailblazers.”

Additionally, this generation appreciates new/better/different approaches to life:•They value the Internet and other technologies.•They try to achieve a balance between work and family and personal freedom.•Many generally do not have “generational money,” so many are concerned with building a strong financial base, andthey are more financially savvy than their predecessors.•They view education as the means to achieve career and financial goals.•They see entrepreneurship as the road to financial independence, job security, and empowerment for theircommunity.•Their accumulation of assets is a way to prove they’ve “made it” despite all the obstacles.•70% will pay more to get “the best.”•They are more likely to respond to marketing which positively reflects their lifestyles.•They prefer to do business with “diversity friendly” companies and those that give back to the community.

Implications:The target audience (A25-34) is a large segment with growing affluence that marketers should address. The olderpatrons are a financially stable group with significant disposable income. This generation embraces new conceptsand approaches, making it a prime target for new/improved products and services, particularly those that enhancelives. They are also a good target market for financial services and major purchases (homes, automobiles, etc.) giventheir focus on the building of wealth and the accumulation of material goods. Innovative approaches (including theInternet) that positively reflect their lifestyles will capture the attention of this generation.
