A Start to Know Content Marketing

It's nice when every day there's something fresh to you, and those fresh things have a connection with what happened to you yesterday.

When I got to know better about what content marketing is, I realized that what virgin mobile USA was doing with Virgin Mobile Live and Virgin Mobile Festival mentioned in my post of yesterday. Yep, that's a good example of content marketing. Not advertising for their own products, they appeal to their existing or potential customers by creating musical information with high qualities. In this way, they mix music and marketing to position their brand with music lovers!

See this infographic (I love infographics!) of a brief history of content marketing with a lot of examples:


A great post about content marketing:

Social Media Efforts of Virgin Mobile USA

When I was doing the case of Virgin Mobile USA, I found it really has a huge focus on social media. That's quite understandable if you know this brand targets exclusively youth market in America and their advertising budget is so low in the whole cellular industry. But I'm still surprised about their huge efforts in social media. Not only for their official website, they also built various social media profile for Virgin Mobile Live and Virgin Mobile Fest - their featured musical app and musical festival. In addition, you could enjoy those live musical shows on their Youtube channel.

You might have noticed the word - music. Yep! Quite appealing to young people, right? It just reminds me of M-zone in China, which is a sub-brand of China Mobile. M-zone focuses on youth consumers too especially students and it also featured its musical services.

Let's check out Virgin Mobile's social media efforts:
