This week, music download website www.music-master.com. unveils the launch for new website
The campaign idea I am my music. I am music masterencourages consumers to explore their individual musical tastes. The focus of the campaign is on a series of ambient portraits of real people made up from QR codes. Within each of these portraits, live codes link to free downloads of the subject’s top twenty tracks. The user is encouraged to snap the codes with his smartphone and download the free tracks to his computer. The three executions appear in malls around the UAE.
The campaign is also supported in press, on radio and online.
“The idea behind this campaign is beautifully simple. People are defined by the music they listen to. We all have our own unique soundtracks to our histories, and in the case of the ambient posters, consumers are able to explore and download other people’s personal soundtracks for free. What appears to be purely functional technology comes to life to tell a story.
A fresh and intelligent approach for this campaign is produced. It’s something that 16-27 year-olds can really get involved with. Given that the technological know-how and ability to understand this visual language is unique to this target, it has something of the feel of an exclusive club. Beyond the ambient and print, the online banners and radio bring the Music Master message to life in a direct way and tell an engaging story.

Marks and Spencer celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2009 with “Quality Worth Every Penny”, a marketing campaign showing how they have provided ‘quality worth every penny’ since 1884 and highlighting how their commitment to sustainability is undiminished despite the global recession. ‘Quality worth every penny’, applied to both fashion and food, asserted the retailer’s commitment to bringing the best quality to its customers and tied in with its origins as a penny bazaar, highlighted with special in-store ranges.
The most well known of the print/billboard advertisements, featured in Campaign’s Outdoor Hall of Fame sitethis month, was the work featuring Islington model Natalie Suliman, wearing a green silky D cup bra (with matching panties in print ads). As well as forming a campaign to promote the new range of quality silk underwear for M&S, the photograph was chosen by M&S for the ad apologising to the nation for charging £2 on bras above a DD cup. Online orders of the green underwear set featured in the ad soared by 163 per cent. The newspaper and billboard campaign helped to triple Marks and Spencer’s underwear sales over the following year.
