The tradtonal job specfcaton for a Classcal Press Offcer n a record company had been to send out a monthly order form to the natonal and regonal newspapers' CD (and for whle cassette!) revewers specfc classcal musc magaznes and varous producers on BBC Rado 3. Ther order forms returned the Press Offce would then supp some or all of those requests. Advertsng would follow a smlar pattern wth occasonal appearances n natonal newspapers but usually key releases restrcted to some musc magaznes dsplays n record stores and concert halls and adverts n concert programmes. The turnng pont occurred n September 1989 wth the EM) release of the Four Seasons and the followg July wth the frst of the Three Tenors COs at the fnal of the 1990 football World Cup. Tracng the campagn 20 years on shows not only what dstnctve campagns these were but also that the basc strcture of the campagn has nfuenced subsequent campagns. The Kennedy campagn was devsed by EM's Barry McCar marketng chef of the company's Strategc Marketng Dvson (nterestngly not from the Classcal Dvson) and Kenned y' s manager John Starey (former manager of 1970s pop group The Bay Cty Rollers). Ths brought another dmenson to the marketng campagn. Pop~style sellng procedures were used such as releasng a sngle (the last movement of'summer' a month before the full album went on sale The work lent tselfto a pop campagn wth ts short movements whch could be released as ndvdual tracks. As a result the sngle was personally delvered to rado statons (as happens n pop campagns) recevng ar-play on Rados 1 and 2 Ths allowed the potental for a wder consumer base (attract non-tradtonal lsteners). Even the musc trade \ ~

Above: Musc Week September 1989 Above: Gramophone November r- J 'What was seen os out-at-then ordnary had now become í~1 the norm tor a classcol musc!j project.' -.1 í l '1 r magazne Musc Week devoted ts front cover on 23 September 1989 to Ngel Kennedy and the EM release. To show how dfferent ths style of cover was t s worth comparng a front over of Gramophone magazne n the same year. November 1989 had the dstngushed conductor Andrew Parrot. The range of advertsng for the recordng was astonshng for a classcal recordng and ncluded:. televson advertsng. adverts on LBe rado staton. natonal press advertsng n the Guardan and ndependent. advertsng n classcal musc magaznes Gramophone and CD Revew. adverts n monthly magaznes Q The Face and Bltz. dsplays n record shops. outdoor poster campagn around London n Brtsh Ral statons and on Glasgow and London Underground stes. Ths was an amazng campagn wth an ntal spend of 100k unprecedented for a classcal record marketng campagn. What made t feasble n the frst place was the character of Ngel Kennedy. Not only was (and s) he a superb classcal volnst Kennedy s also a performer who can reach out to a broad audence. He wrtes and performs jazz and s a supporter of Aston Vla football club. The release of the sngle was a month afer Kennedy's appearance n the Prnce's Trust televsed concert wth Sr George Martn conductng and performg alongsde bg names n the entertanment world. The recordng reached No 1 n the classcal album chart but also moved nto the top 75 pop album chart. A flm of Kennedy makg the recordng of the Four Seasons was then made and transmtted on Channel 4 on Boxng Day and New Year's Day. n March 1990 Kennedy was the subject of Ths s Your Lfe. And as s normal procedure n the pop busjness a UK tour featurng the Four Seasons followed. All ths resulted n the album sellng over 2 mlon copes reachng No 3 n the pop charts and even beng mentoned n the Gunness Book of World Records' Ths unprecedented success gave record companjes cause to reflect. Perhaps classcal musc could have potental for a hgher return on nvestment than had been regarded n the past? Jt '~: t: \' )'J~ Ths was further enhanced wth the frst Three Tenors concert featurng Domngo Pavarott and Carreras at V/ard Cup fnal n Rome. Such was the reach of ths extraordnary concert watched by mllons the world over the CD became the bggest sellng classcal album of all tme. TV was a sgnfcant n the success and especally for Pavarott pror to the J 990 Three Tenors concert. BBerv sports programme Grandstand used hs recordng of Nessun Dorma as the theme for all the World Cup programmes. The sngle alone sold over copes and reached No 1 n the pop chart. Before the Four Seasons the most successful recordngs popularsng classcal musc were n the 1970s; Those were classcal arrangements of popular songs by the LSO. n the 1980stwas the RPO's Hooked on Classcs seres whch took a collecton of recognsable excerpts of classcal musc peces played over a dsco beat. n the concert arena the BBC Proms regned supreme n atltactng huge audences to the RoyalAlbert Hall for classcal musc concerts n a relaxed and approachable style. The Kennedy recordng spearheaded a range of product releases from the record companes. One was enttled Your Hundred Best Tunes on the Decca label. t orgnated from the BBC Rado 2 programme n the 1960s and Decca at that tme used the generc ttle to release a budget-prced LP seres based on the musc featured over the years on the programme. The then head of Decca Mchael Letchord re-ntroduced the seres on budget-prce CD as a way of movng backcatalogue tems that would be cheap to re-master on to a CD (because the recordngs had already been made). The crucal factor n order to move volume was to market the CDs to a 'multple' store (e non-specalst wth a natonal spread such as WHSmths and Boots). Released n Aprl and October 1990 ths campagn sold unts (CDs and cassettes) a phenomenal success for a group ofrecordngs that dd notnvolve any new artsts or recordngs. Another example of a broader outlook for a classcal artst s seen n the poster below. t s from HMV's campagn for volnst Ncola Benedett' s recordng My nspraton. The composer Tchakovsky s popular so t s appealng to both specalst and non-specalst musc lovers. The marketng emphasses trus wth a quote from the volnst herself placed promnently n the mddle of the leaflet. To add weght the album sleeve s also ncluded n the advert along wth the label that released t Classc FM's own range. Brandng the album wth Classc FM makes sense as the staton s boasts more than 6.5 rnllon lsteners. n

"1 / The dea was to attract consumers of all muscal persuasons / Another example of how far classcal musc marketng campagns were changng s seen n the Sensual Classcs 1993 campagn from Warner Classcs devsed by ts then Drector Bl Holland (now Decca Classcs consultant). ts theme was well-known peces of classcal musc from the Warner catalogue placed on a CD wth a provocatve pcture of a good-lookng couple. nsde the booklet there were further pctures of the couple along wth quotes from poets about the word 'passon.' The dea was to attract consumers of all muscal persuasons usng the pcture. As a result of the hgh profle created by the Four Seasons and Three Tenors the major record companes restructured ther classcal dvsons. n EM's case the department :was splt nto 'Core Classcal' and 'Strategc Classcal'. The latter had the dual tasks of marketng new classcal artsts n a pop-style manner and devsng back-catalogue recordngs and marketng them. to a non-classcal consumer. Ths type of set-up contnues today. Classc PM launched n 1992: Thatsarne year the Polsh composer Henryk Goreck's Thrd Symphony sold n ts frst year n the UK aded by the staton's 'sure shot' promoton. n 1994 the second Three Tenors concert and CD release took place wth a thrd n Ths was followed by the extraordnary phenomenon of a CD of Gregoran chant sung by the Benedctne Monks of Santo Domngo de Slos re-released and sellng 6 mlon copes' n 1995 the EM volnst Vanessa Mae released her The Voln Player a mxture of classcall pop and techno musc promoted by a provocatve and much talked-about promotonal vdeo. What was seen as out-of-the-ordnary had now become the norm for a classcal musc project. n the new mllennum the busness has seen a gradual acceptance of onlne trade. n 2003 budget label Naxos launched Classcsonlnef encouragng purchasers to buy orùne ts own catalogue and those t dstrbuted. Artsts themselves followed sut - n 2004 Peter Maxwell Daves sets up MaxOpus.com to sell hs musc onlne and n 2007 soprano Barbara Hendrcks launched her thrd album by sellng over the nternet wthout a fxed prce. Last year Tasmn Lttle's recordng of The Naked Voln was sold on a pay-what-you-want structure and won the 2008 Classc FM Gramophone Award for Audence Development. These key events n the classcal musc busness show a transformaton n the way classcal musc has developed snce 1989.lt has contnued to develop ever snce. From Katherne Jenkns to Cecla Bartol from Roberto Alagna to Andrea Bocell from Sr Paul McCartney to Kate Royal from Placdo Domngo to Kng's College Chor Cambrdge from José Carreras to Julan Lloyd- Webber from Aled Jones to Charlotte Church from Russell Watson to Hayley Westenra and many more.

Ravels Boleo sn't the only pece ofmusc to get the juces flowng! Contrtg the role of a clasca press offcer at tht te ( was one st at Decca then EM) wth what s now exected of the job shows just how the busness changed afer The usual procedure wa to decde on whch of the monthy CD releases were the most mortant tö the company ether n terms ofa prorty arst or a sales capagn. n those days a monthy release schedule would consst of brad new recordgs retag at fu.prce (.99) and a seres of md.prce CDs reeaes ( 699). n the case ofelv vvth ts wonder back catalogue some months offered budget-prced recordgs as well Myrole was to contact classcal musc revewers n natonal andregonalnewapers the musc magaes and Rado 3 producers (and sometes selected Rado 2 and Rado 4progres too). Fxg up mtervews attendg recordng sessons and concerts were al par of the job. Now the role s much broader because the marketng campagns that followed The Four Seasons offered opportuntes for wder meda nterest. The press offcer's job was to exand the range of promoton to non-classcal musc meda. Darsts muscans -wtng artcles and arts and features edtors of newpapers and magaznes were al targeted.

Streamg and downloadg by broadcasers (Rado 3 had very successfu ventures wth ts Beethoven Bach Chopn and Tchakovsky broadca) concer has orchestra.~ and record companes Îs par of the busness. Tradng onle s the norm today and the RLPO and Phlhanona experents n the vùal world shows a forwad.thg ndus Exandgthe vsual a.'ect of classca musc has been ntated by opera companes though cema screengs of opera producton and ther clever use of consuer ndusvty on thewebstes the latter though bloggg and socal networkg.

Vstors to the nstallaton whch was created usng footage flmed oh 29 hghdefnton cameras each from a dfferent perspectve were able to experence the Orchestra 'lve' on a seres of huge screens and projectons over four storeys of an atmospherc unconverted warehouse space The Bargehouse md-way between Tate Modern and the Royal Festval Hall on London's South Bank. The project was the branchld of the Orchestra's prncpal conductor and artstc advsor Esa-Pekka Salonen and Head of Dgtal Rchard Slaney and was flmed produced and created by the Phlharmona Orchestra's Dgtal Department The project was supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundaton and equpment was provded by Samsung Paradgm AV and Creatve Technologes. The project was desgned to be accessble and exctng to audences of all ages from the very young to the very old wth nteractve resources sutable for all. t was completely free and open all day for almost a fortnght wth late-nght openngs and free workshops for famles and young chldren and for schools throughout London led by a professonal anmateur and muscans from the Phlharmona Orchestra Audences could stay as long as they wshed and although we expected audences to stay for 'one play through' of The Rte of Sprng our evaluatons show that 4 % of the audence stayed for an hour or more. Audences were nformed about the nstallaton through both conventonal and less conventonal channels partcularly through socal networkng stes. As well as the opportunty to experence the pece 'secton by secton' through the vdeo screens and projecton there were also opportuntes for "real partcpaton" - for example "jonng" the Orchestra by performng on real nstruments wth gudance on-screen by the Phlharmona's Prncpal Percussonst Davd Corkhll or controllng the overall sound and vson n a conductor's 'control room'. Of the 6000 people that experenced the nstallaton over ts 2 week fespan an extremely hgh proporton were new not only to the Phlharmona Orchestra but to any orchestra. 38% of vstors had nfrequently or never seen an orchestra lve; S4% were unaware of the orchestra's resdency at South bank Centre.

An example of a product-orented enterprse would be a chamber musc ensemble a modern dance company or a museum of contemporary art. An example of a market-orented enterprse would be a commercal undertakng such as a Hollywood flm. Between these two extremes le a vast range of possbltes. Our dscusson wll focus on organzatons n the hgh art sector and the challenges they face n terms of market development. Marketng s both an art and a scence (Hunt 1991; Bass 1993). ts fundamental purpose s to lnk the organzaton wth ts market. Marketng tools are ntended to meet the objectves of both the organzaton and the consumer. However an enterprse at the hgh art end of the contnuum s unque n that t s a msson-orented entty and the role of ts marketng manager s to help t fulfl that msson; more mportantly the product follows from ths msson and the choce of product s Franços Colbert s full professor of marketng at HEC MontréaL Montreal Quebec.

23 APPENDX 6 MASS MARKT MEDA 1 ' - n :' j - 1 LJ!l ' ' 1n r l! / A greater emphass on mass market meda needs to be explored for Fscal Ths s applcable for not only projects clealy amed drectly at a mass market but also for Classcal projects whch can be amed at a broader market as well as tradtonal Classcal meda. Two examples of the mx of product are Change We Must/on Anderson and Debut/ Amanda Roocroft. Change We Must nvolves vrtually a non-classcal meda campagn strongly based towards pop musc and general meda; Amanda Roocrofts album wl be both Classcal amed but opportuntes to get her nto non Classcal (and non musc) avenues s also mperatve for volume sales. 'You' magazne have already agree to ntervew her as have the Gramophone and BBC Musc Magazne. There s tradtonal Classcal presence n most meda areas more so n some than others. The weaest opportunty s n TV and the greatest n Classcal Musc magaznes. Natonal newspapers both sundays and weekles offer opportuntes but features as well as revews can rarely be guarantee for a parcular date or f they are they tend to be shortened. The latter s dependent on the relevant sub-edtor of the ssue n queston and whether there s enough advertsng to sustan the amount of edtoral. Another factor to be taen nto consderaton s Classcal muscans who don't enjoy ntervews (eg Smon Rattle) or arsts who could be extremely effectve n broad meda terms but only wsh to lmt themselves to specfc musc projects (eg Tom Hampson). n these cases one nees to enter other avenues of promoton (CD compettons/dealer ncentves/sgned CD copes) Regonal meda s relevant n certan cases. Key rado and newspapers should be servced wth relevant product. lf the arst s n a partcular area then the relevant TV staton should also be contacted. STRATEGY The major areas of Promoton are: TV/Rado/Natonal Newspapers/Musc magaznes/feature magaznes/regonal Meda. The Classcal P&P Team has spoken to equvalents of other dvsons nsde EM ncludng PM to formulate a ht lst of the major meda opportuntes n ths area. A prorty lst wl be drawn up for sutable artsts and projects whch can be amed at ths lst. Emphass should be geared towards TV and Rado exposure ncludng Classc FM Rado 1 Vrgn 1215 & Captal and general consumer magaznès and natonal news press 1

24 -2- ALL prorty releases should be looked at wth ths strategy n mnd. Broad meda should be consdered for all prorty projeèts whether hgh volume or purely ClasscaL. A gude to the type of projects that wl be usng ths strategy are Jon Anderson/Change We Must and Amanda Roocroft/Debut album as mentoned above. 1. TELEVSON : New opportuntes n ths feld of meda are already beng explored: 1 r1 n r-'-1 ( o n * Clve Anderson Talks Back (3.5m) * Rchard and Judy (TV/md-mornng) - are dong a Classc Romance feature and would lke Domngo (who has provsonally agree) (2+m) * Good Mornng Anne and Nck (BBC/md-mornng) (1.5m) * London Tonght (Domngo already appeaed on ths and they are keen for Kr/ Amanda Roocroft/Jon Anderson/Sarah Chang - lm +) * Danny Baker TV (2.2m) * Bg Breaast (2.4m) * Gong Lve (Kennedy already been on ths) (2+m) * Sky News at 6.00pm (28000) * CNN (Feature done on Classca Musc Awards usng Hampson and Chang vdeo excepts) * 9 O'clock and News at 10 (9m) * The Word (would probably have Jon Anderson) (212000) * South-East at 6.00pm (3.2m) * Pebble Ml (2m) * GMTV ( am ) * Des O'Connor Show (8m) * Eurotrash (Channel 4 frdays at l1.00pm - 2m mentonng Gregoran Chant already) The above are programmes that can ether use an artst or major campagn as a news hook or are chat shows. Audence fgures are key hence the prorty n ths feld. Examples nclude Des O'Connor reachng up to 8m; Clve Anderson Talks back reachng 3.5 mlon; Bg breakfast reaches 2.4m; Rchard and Judy over 2 mllon; Gong Lve reaches over 2 mlon as does Pebble Ml; 9 o'clock and 10 o'clock news reach around 9m. n contrast The Word reaches only r~ (1

25 -3- Vdeo.1! Worth notng that ths s an area worth pushng strongly Chat shows often requre footage as do news tems but there are also specfc vdeo slots: * Dal Mdnght * The Beat * Vdeo Vew * The Album Show These can acheve as much as 1 mlon vewers Musc pro?rammes ' : * South Bank Show * Late Show (already had FlottlMurray/Alban Berg Quartet and Frederca von Stade - explorng Roocroft/Hampson and Chang currently) * Producer of musc programmes (pm very useful contact) ncludng Granada (Roocroft) Central (Ratte) and BBC Scotland (Donohoe Tan and Norrngton) Vewng fgures are vared n ths category. Dependng on the artst The South Bank Show can var between land 4 mlon; n contrast the Late Show on a good nght..'! j ** AM TO GET AT LEAST 2 ARTST NTERVEWS/APPEARANCES ON TV 1 ~ jl.1 2. CLASSC FM Hghly mportat to the mass market appeal - wth a lstenershp now of approachng 5 mlon We have a good relatonshp wth ths Rado staton havng already parcpated n jont promotons (Classc Romance and Sound of Classc FM Brtten Quartet for one of ther Charty ggs currently engaged n a Perlman promoton n June/Artsts appea regularly on chat showsldomngo and Callas specals etc). - J Play lst s an mportant element for EM Classcs product exposure. Currently product requested by compler of play lsts Robn Ray who rates product (up to '!j 4 categores and based on popularty). After ratng product s sent to Classc FM who nput t onto the computer. f1

26 -4- At moment because of volume of product there s at least a three month delay n gettng product fed nto the computer. Worth notng that for chat/char and specalst programmes (Opera/Early Musc and Amercan musc) CDs can be/are handed drect to presenter. Presenters lke a selecton of marked product. For example n one hour they may have 7 very popular tunes temsed on the Classc FM computer as 1 and the rest 2s and 3s. Also worth notng two other factors: frst the computer can produce a mood-reflected programme - upbeat/romantc and so on; second Robn Ray chooses amount of CDs n rough proporton to the sze of the company. We are achevng currently on a very approxmate bass 15% of ar-tme. Ths s based on one day n July When a presenter/producer requests a pece of musc by name computer produces a lst of what s avalable and n what order of qualty and accessblty (through Robn Ray's ntal markng). Sometmes presenters choose frst one that comes to hand; otherwse s/he chooses name known to them. :1 Audence fgures are useful to note. The two man chat programmes var dependng on who ther guests are but acheve around the followng: Susannah Smmons O.25m and Margaret Howard At 8.00am on the Nck Baley Breakfast show the audence acheved s 0.3 and the same fgure occurs for the begnnng of Henry Kelly at 9.00am. These then are the key spots to am for. They wpe the Rado 3 floor and even BBC 2's Late Show (see below). l re) Cl 1 1_ l -1 ** AM FOR 20% SHARE OF AR-TME THROUGH FOLLOWNG OPTONS: * Provde Robn Ray wth everythng on monthly release sheets * Plug major presenters wth useful product so they can be put straght onto programme ether when there s a gap or f t s somethng that appes to them * ncrease contact and provson of CDs to senor producer (Mchael Buhkt's no 2) Chrs Vezey * Am for at least 1 artst on Classc FM every 2 months and one specal (along Domngo/Callas lnes) a yea; Bank Holdays are rpe for specals. Classc FM decde 6 weeks pror to a Bank Holday what specal programmes they can put on for that relevant day. * Ensure Mchael Buhkt receves our lst and specal deas worth hm consderng * Contnue assocaton wth Classc FM especally jont promos; further CDs n assocaton wth the staton should be pursued as should co-ops wth multples * Am to be the frst pont of contact for John Spearman and Tracy Long when they requre artst or other jont deas * Begnnng of each month decde sutable releases and artsts for specfc programmes 1 1

27 -5- '1 l. Uj ; OTHER RADO For mass market Rado 1 Vrgn 1215 and Capta are mportat avenues to explore. Heads of Musc producers and presenters of all the major daly shows on these statons have already been contacte concernng the Anderson project.

Regonal statons are useful but not a prorty. Rado 4 s key to a broader market as s Rado 1. Already the odd Classcal CD s beng played on the Steve Wrght Breakfast Show.

MAGAZNE FEATURE General lfe-style magaznes are becomng ncreasngly mportnt to get features n.

Bella at 4.4m (Classc Romance competton already organsed n ths magazne;cosmo at 2.4m and El1e at 1.15m are clear examples; TV and Rado magaznes have astonshngly hgh readershp fgures and therefore are a new area to pursue.
