Talk about a recent entertainment campaign that caught your eye.
Universal Music Group puts big dollars into marketing and promoting their artists. The interviewer wants to see that you understand the difference between a mediocre campaign and an effective one. Think about the latest entertainment advertisement that you saw, heard, or witnessed. Why did it catch your eye, and what made it so memorable? Be sure to show the interviewer your enthusiasm for marketing and promotions.
"I believe that the best marketing campaigns are ones where the artists meet their fans where they are. One example of this that I find unforgettable is DJ Khaled's use of Snapchat. Here, he talks about his path to happiness which has made him a voice in internet culture. Aside from his music, Khaled is now known for his catchphrases like 'I appreciate you' and 'You the best.' His loyal following has remained and he continues to broaden his reach."

A recent campaign that caught my eye is from the artist B.o.B. He has a Patreon account where he let his loyal fans of over 10 years listen to his new album before its actual release. This campaign is great because it allows him as an independent artist to directly interact with his fans and let them feel like they are a part of his journey as an artist. and it allows him to roll out the project with pre-sales.
