To showcase the latest in musical talent, EMI Music UK label, Angel Records, is embarking on an innovative advertising campaign that will utilise i-vu’s interactive screen media found within top end hair salons.

Promoting up and coming artist Laura Michelle Kelly’s debut album, ‘The Storm Inside,’ it will be the first time an EMI label has used interactivity within a campaign, and capitalises on i-vu’s predominantly female audience as well as the extended dwell time of clients within the salon environment.

In-site music promotion for hair salons...

The campaign is to run across i-vu’s London network of screens, featuring a 30 second advertisement that interactively links to the music video for Laura’s debut single, “There Was A Time.”

Sarah Fisher, senior product manager, Angel Music Group, said: “i-vu’s screen media network is a fantastic platform to promote the album, as i-vu targets an audience that is a great demographic fit for the artist, and reaches the target audience whilst in a captive and receptive frame of mind.”

"We are confident that the interactive element of the campaign will drive strong, accountable results,” she continued. “By engaging viewers on a one-to-one basis, i-vu can deliver highly accountable campaigns to a receptive audience who are generally hard to target through more traditional channels.”

Now reaching over 600,000 ABC1 females each month, and achieving response rates of up to 33%, i-vu should make a serious impact,” said Mike Anstey, CEO, i-vu.”
