viral marketing
its interesting in the new age of music getting peoples attention and getting the industry to notice you is so much harder. i have been involved in a few “games” myself. they are fun and honestly i believe the person who solves “it” feels more ownership over the art and sometimes as though they have taken part in the art. i know that people think im involved in “welcome to the new hate”. im not, honestly but i played along. sometimes i like to see people games play out. i think they have done a very successful campaign for a band that is unsigned. im gonna play out their final step for you. it will take you to a website that is designed to look like pete wentz.com- at the address: alliesandenemies.com it is not however and i did not write any of the words. i considered not leaking the final “password/prescription” but i think they have done a really good job with their viral content. in a world here people put out crappy content left and right. like i said i have nothing to do with them or their campaign but the question is do you like the music as much as the marketing?
ive recieved their last message. type: prosopagnosia - (which is a disorder where people cant recognize other people’s faces).where it says please medicate me. it ill unlock two songs and text (not written by me). know i happen to know the bands name and what not but i feel like its “fair” under the rules of the game to let it out.
so now answer me here do you like the music as much as the marketing? would you like to see this band on decaydance if theyre not signed somewhere else?
my hats off to those who designed this campaign that went around the world and tricked both me and singer (not sure how tricked or in on it he was honestly).
lastly, dr. this is now in your hands. make a private communication to me- let me know what the whole point in involving my name. did you want me to hear the music and possibly work together which seems interesting. or did you use my name to get attention and are already signed somewhere. both answers are interesting on their own merits (one less honorable perhaps). the ball is in your court.
