1) Summarise the Ill Manors Tag London campaign
in 100 words
The launch campaign for Plan B’s album, ill Manors, combined
traditional and digital media. The key objective was to ensure it reflected the
scale and character of the album while connecting with a savvy online audience.
Fans were prompted to tweet the hashtag #ILLMANORS and voice their opinions on
the current climate in the UK, reflecting the overarching subject matter of the
new album. In total, 300 of the tweets were recreated by graffiti artists,
projected 100ft high onto London landmarks, photographed and retweeted back to
individual users.
2) How does the Ill Manors Tag London campaign help to
promote the film?
This user generated marketing strategy was very effective
in helping to promote the film. It involved the audience and made them share
their thoughts on the issues covered by Ill Manors. The method uses online word
of mouth as twitter uses following another user that tweets Ill Manors will be
able to see it, and may want to get involved themselves. The fact the producers
would actually respond by retweeting a picture of your tweet on a famous London
landmark will also encourage people to tweet more. The campaign also bring the
issues in society covered by Ill Manors into discussion which them promotes and
publicises the film.
3) What links are there between the Tag London
campaign and other texts you have studied as part of the Ill Manors case study?
The Tag London campaign encourages twitter uses to voice
their opinions on society and issues in Ill Manors. This links to the Tedx
lecture by Plan B, who used the lecture to voice his opinion on society. He
claimed that the media fuels negative stereotypes of urban youths which causes
them to make bad decisions in life, and that they are products of their harsh
environment. Tweets selected by the marketing team agreed with this anti-government
view and were then projected on London landmarks. Tweets selected were all
following the same ideology as Plan B’s which he elaborated on in the Tedx
lecture. The anti-government tweets selected also link to the NME cover in which a strapline on the cover was “David
Cameron be very afraid” again following an anti government ideology.
4)
Why
might user-generated campaigns like this be more successful than traditional
media campaigns?
User
generated campaigns such as this are more successful than traditional media
campaigns such as billboards for many reasons. One way in which this form of
marketing is so successful is due to word of mouth. When one twitter user
tweets Ill Manors other people following will see the tweet and may also want
to get their message across because the issue of society is such an opinionated
subject, in which everyone has a view. The attraction of being retweeted by the
Ill Manors twitter page with their tweet on a London landmark will also
encourage people to get involved further, promoting the film even more. This
type of word of mouth and user popularity cannot be gained from traditional campaigns
such as billboards. If a person tweets the Ill Manors page they are also
actively getting involved with the film and are much more likely to want to
watch it then than if they simply saw it on a billboard or bus poster.
5) Choose five of the tweets above and for each one
write what target audience the tweet could appeal to
(demographics/psychographics) and then link the tweet to one other media text
you have studied as part of the Ill Manors case study (TEDx lecture, music
video etc.) Justify your link for each tweet using examples from the
film/promotional material.
