š¤ Our CEO Jill Lush went to see KATSEYE in Dublin on Tuesday night ā and found herself watching the marketing almost as much as the performance.
Occupational hazard when you run a marketing agency. š
Whatever your musical taste, thereās a lot to admire about how KATSEYE has been marketed and how quickly theyāve built such an engaged global fanbase.
A few things really stood out to me:
⨠Four individuals (it was 4 on Tuesday, they started as six): One very clear brand.
Each member has her own personality, look and appeal, but collectively they are instantly recognisable as KATSEYE. That balance between individual personal brands and one strong master brand is not easy to achieve.
š Global from the outset.
Their diversity isnāt treated as an add-on to the brand ā itās fundamental to it. The result is something designed to resonate with audiences across countries, cultures and platforms.
š± They understand that the content around the music matters.
Songs are only part of the product. Performances, choreography, fashion, personalities, short-form video and behind-the-scenes moments all give fans more ways to discover and connect with them.
š They create moments people want to share (you might have spotted some in our stories?!)
Great marketing today isnāt just about what a brand says. Itās about giving your audience something they want to talk about, recreate, photograph and share.
ā¤ļø The fans feel part of it.
And that was probably the biggest takeaway from being in the 3Arena. This isnāt simply an audience consuming a product ā thereās a real sense of community and belonging around the brand. They took the time to work the room and move around being in the crowd.
Thatās something businesses of every size can learn from.
You donāt need KATSEYEās choreography (although feel free!), but you do need to know:
Who are we?
Who are we for?
What makes people feel connected to us?
And are we giving them a reason to share our story?
A very enjoyable night in Dublin ā and an unexpected little marketing masterclass too.
