Aerodeon is a wireless marketing agency, working for leading youth brands and content owners. Aerodeon has recently won a number of prestigious awards for its campaigns, including those for Ministry of Sound and EastWest Records. These campaigns have successfully exploited the popularity of text messaging amongst music based communities.
Examples of how the two companies will be working together include:
V-teams. V-teams are a way of harnessing the energy of an artists fanbase, through targeted, viral text messaging. 'Fan get fan' recruiting across email, web and SMS, is cost effective marketing as the customers do the work! SMS marketing alone has built the So Solid fanbase to over 50,000.
Music promotions. Many brands are keen to associate themselves with music and to use the popularity of the latest acts to promote their products. For example, a free ringtone with every product purchased. Protein offers unrivalled expertise at selecting and licensing the most appropriate tracks for target markets and Aerodeon is able to create and execute the campaigns to meet brand objectives.
Aerodeon Managing Director, Andrew Jones, commented, "Text messaging has proved to be a very successful marketing tool for the music industry. This partnership will give many more brands access to proven mobile music marketing techniques'
