The Brief
The brief was to maximise digital press and online conversation around the launch of the interactive film. This would include seeding the film, social media promotion by third party sites and negotiating exclusives. The main focus would be music press and using the existing Charmfactory network as well as exploring where viable tech and arts press.
Tate wanted to encourage genuine engagement with users and media whilst being sensitive to ensure that Tate are not seen to be commercially involved in the release of Africa Express’ ‘In C’ album.
Charmfactory were called on to focus on online music media and to act as main point of contact for all media enquiries in the first instance. CF to alert Tate as opportunities arise for any significant coverage in the arts or national media.
Success would be measured against views on the interactive and also a breadth and quality of press.
