Planning is one of the most important parts of any project, and my music marketing project was no different. To make it successful, I needed to look at how Slipknot built their brand and use that to guide my ideas.
I first began researching. I researched the band Slipknot and the demographic it sells to and how they brand their music. One of the coolest things with Slipknot is their masks and image that make them so unique. It was all about a brand of individualism and being different and also kind of in your face with the rebellion factor. I knew with this project I needed a clear identity.
Next, I also considered how to reach my audience. Slipknot reaches their fans through various online sources, such as Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. They post backstage videos, concert pieces, and also information regarding their music. My strategies included posting frequent updates, sharing light-hearted content, and engaging with my audience online.
I also thought of other marketing ideas, aside from digital ones, such as live events or merchandise. Slipknot is known for their crazy live shows, with pyrotechnics and mad visuals. While I can't do something on that scale, I planned ideas like small live performances or cool merchandise to create a personal connection with fans.
Finally, I made a timeline for everything. I wanted to make sure my social media posts, event planning, and other tasks all worked in harmony and came at the right time. Slipknot is great at keeping their fans hyped on carefully planned releases. I wanted to do the same with my project.
All in all, this planning process taught me a lot about how important it is to think ahead. By studying Slipknot, I learned how to build a brand, connect with fans, and create a plan that works. Planning made me confident and ready to bring my project into life.
