The Ruxanda Experience: First Act

Executive Summary

The Ruxanda Experience: First Act is a project that will launch the Ruxanda brand into the mainstream media domestically and internationally. This project will accomplish this by creating a quality electronic press kit (EPK) with experienced music producers and video producers, incorporating YoungINC.LA and other JBM tech firms in the marketing campaigns, and using Ruxanda Calistru’s connection with the Europe press gained during her years in the competitive music, dance, and beauty circuits. JB Talent will manage this project as Ruxanda’s artist brand manager.

Ruxanda has made a name for herself in Europe by winning several competitions in songwriting, singing, dancing, and beauty. She continued gaining acclaim and experience by moving to Los Angeles. She became involved with the site, YoungINC.LA, and turned her experiences into a brand. Her involvement and success with YoungINC.LA garnered the attention of JB Talent, the artist brand management division of JBM Community, Inc, a Nevada corporation. She and her corresponding brand, Ruxanda, are managed by JB Talent and have been placed as a brand ambassador for the tech and media firm, YoungINC.LA. As part of developing her brand, JB Talent will manage the electronic press kit that will bring widespread publicity and manage the subsequent development of the brand, Ruxanda.

The electronic press kit (EPK) will involve experienced producers and artists in the pop and Electronic Dance Music (EDM) genres that have widespread visibility. The EPK will be distributed worldwide to media outlets, press groups, major social media outlets, radio, and online listening sites. Ruxanda will also be able to display her Moldovan heritage and unique point of view throughout the world. Her affiliation with JB Talent and YoungINC.LA also further demarcates her from other artists in the burgeoning electronic and dance market. Investors will be executive producers that will take part of an exciting, unique campaign that will be bridging tech, experienced professionals in the music industry, new talent and artists in emerging genres and countries unlike any other artist and brand campaign. This is due to the collaboration between the tech and media property, YoungINC.LA, the brand development division, JB Talent, Ruxanda Calistru’s familiarity with the aforementioned organizations and her exotic, Moldovan culture, and investors that understands the scope and vision of this project.

Market Analysis

Ruxanda is a pop/electronic dance market (EDM) artist that will focus her music on the dance genre. Her accomplishments and connections domestically and internationally will help her take advantage of the growing EDM/dance market.

The EDM has outperformed other genres of music. In the United States, dance was the only genre that achieve positive growth in digital track sales in 2013 (The Nielsen Company & Billboard’s 2013 Music Industry Report, industry press). Dance sales reached a seven-year high in the United Kingdom in 2013 (Official Charts Company / BPI). Google’s music timeline shows that global popularity of electronic music to be at an all-time high (Google Music Timeline: http://research.google.com/bigpicture/music/#DANCE_ELECTRONIC). Research has indicated that earnings of top DJs and artists have doubled in 2013 (Forbes). The EDM market is robust and growing. For Ruxanda, focusing on the EDM market optimizes potential for visibility and publicity.

In addition, EDM listeners are among the most active audiences in social media and there is still an outstanding room for growth for them. According to Eventbrite EDM Audience Analysis, EDM fans tweet eleven times per day versus the average 1.85 tweets per day, one in three tweets is about EDM, 52% more than fans of other genres, and they tweet about concerts and events 30% more than the average amount of tweets from other genres. The potential for EDM music to expand internationally is great and continues to generate interest. In 2013, Indian festival capacity doubled while adding several new events (Percept, event websites, Wikipedia, and industry press). If the penetration of the Indian market were half of that of the American market, it would equate to 18 new festivals of the size of Tomorrowland, which would equate to festivals of 3,000,000 attendees each (Percept, event websites, Wikipedia, CIA World Factbook, Resident Advisor, Billboard, industry press, IMS Analysis). As such, four of the world’s biggest entertainment brands, HBO, FIFA, Syco Entertainment, and Disney, have entered the electronic music market in 2014.

Since they focus on controlling the market through scalable and tech-related solutions, YoungINC.LA, a tech and media company, has assigned Ruxanda Calistru as their brand ambassador, and JB Talent, an intellectual property firm in multimedia and entertainment, is managing Ruxanda Calistru. Incoming executive producers would also benefit with a partnership with JB Talent in the campaign to promote the Ruxanda brand.
