JVC Mobile is pretty turned on by viral video. For the second year
in a row, the brand has dedicated the majority of its marketing
resources to creating and promoting an online music video featuring
its line of in-car multimedia and navigation receivers.
This year, up-and-comers The Charm City Devils, the Darling
Stilettos and the Last Vegas star in the online video "Turn me on
2." JVC has partnered with Spin magazine, which is hosting the
video as well as exclusive behind the scenes footage at
spin.com/turnmeon. It is
also available at
mobile.jvc.com.
The video, which officially launched last week, has pulled in
200,000 views to date. "We know our demo [men 18-35]. We're trying
to create amazing content driven toward what they are looking for,"
said Chad Vogelsong, general manager of marketing for JVC Mobile
Entertainment.
JVC will also plug its line of products, including the El
Kameleon, at Crue Fest 2 this summer. JVC has a history with Nikki
Sixx and Motley Crue, as they have starred in past campaigns along
with Megadeth and Velvet Revolver. Charm City Devils is the first
band Sixx signed to his label 11/7 Records. They will be a part of
the upcoming Crue Fest which kicks off July 19.
Last year's video starred Josh Todd from Buckcherry and Jacoby
Shaddix of Papa Roach. It has been viewed more than 5 million
times. Vogelsong credits the campaign with helping increase sales.
"The industry has been shrinking, but we've maintained and grown
our marketshare," Vogelsong said.
