CASE STUDY – LIVE NATION

Introduction

In today’s world where the number of brands and products (tangible or intangible) are growing in numbers and companies are ensuring rapid diversification, research and attempting a perfect blend of marketing and promotion, it has become a pre-requisite for any brand or product to maintain an edge over others if they have to survive competition and emerge as a “name” spoken of an remembered. One of such well known companies in the field of promotion of live events is “Live Nation”. A California based concerts promotion company which was formed in 2005 currently serves concerts worldwide and has been associated with many of the renowned international artists and bands like Madonna, Shakira, Jay-Z, U2 and owning and partnering many promotion and production companies and ticketing houses throughout a wide array of countries.

CONCLUSION

The path of growth for Live Nation had been steady and this has resulted from a well researched market and customer analysis. But the strategy of Live Nation does not define the goal it aims to reach and the path it intends to choose. “To connect the fans and the artists” being a very vague mission statement, there is wide prospect for growth and new angles of looking at the whole market and industry as such. This has proved that a well calculated decision and higher space for movement of thoughts in the decision making process can grow a company to a giant whose limitations on coverage, may it be products/services or geographical areas is not restricted. Live Nation has gone beyond the established theories and strategies of marketing and the future of the company seems to be in a market “which is not yet defined but ready to be defined”.

    The most significant down side to technology is the loss in revenue from album sales. Illegal downloading of music has become prevalent in today’s society, and many artists—major or independent—receive little to no profit from album sales. Many companies, such as Apple, have tried combating the issue with protected file formats, but a loophole has always been found to bypass the protection. Unsigned and independently signed artists hurt the most, as they pay almost everything out-of-pocket to produce their music. The only feasible response to the loss in revenue, artists have found, is to increase tour dates. In today’s age, it is not rare to find artists who tour more than eight months out of each year. Touring has become one of, if not the only, reliable source of income for many
