Digital Services - Presentation by Hans-Holger Albrecht, CEO of Deezer at the NOAH 2015 Conference in London, Old Billingsgate on the 12th of November 2015.
3. WELCOME TO #IDEEZER
Deezer is executing a marketing campaign that will make
the entire world sit up and take notice.
In May 2016, in conjunction with the Ibiza tourism
authority, we’re going to rebrand the island of Ibiza as
“IDeezer” for one weekend only.
Music lovers from across the globe will be invited to join
intimate Deezer gigs at exclusive locations across the
island, where they will have the opportunity to get up close
and personal with their favourite artists, helping to curate
their performance playlist.
And we invite Warner Music to partner with us.
4. A TRUE PARTNERSHIP
CO-BRANDED CAMPAIGN
We’d look to deliver a fully integrated campaign, co-branded with one – or
multiple - Warner Music artists who will secure full credit and branding in all
campaign assets
GLOBAL ACTIVATION
This is a global campaign managed centrally from the UK, but with local
teams supporting in the US, Brazil, Germany and France
DRIVING A NEW, LOYAL AUDIENCE
The campaign will help spearhead mass awareness and attention –
underpinned by specialist outreach to maintain artist positioning and image
For the purpose of this presentation, and ease of communication, we have opted to write it as
if we were working with Kaskade, but would be open to discussing potential talent
suggestions. In addition, this could work with multiple talent taking part.
7. OUR ANNOUNCEMENT
We will pull together a raft of editorial assets –
consisting of both photography and video – to unveil
our announcement.
The news hook for media and social channels will be:
“The world’s most famous live-music destination Ibiza is
undergoing a radical overhaul for the new season launch,
with tourism officials agreeing to re-brand it as IDeezer for
the weekend. To commemorate the change, music-
streaming service Deezer is launching a series of intimate
events with Kaskade across three days for true music
lovers.”

9. TALENT MEDIA DAY
We will prepare full day of media activity with our hero
Warner artist – for the sake of this presentation we have
used Kaskade.
The news hook for media and social channels will be:
“We’re rewarding Kaskade fans with the ultimate party
weekend. He’s playing four secret gigs across one sensational
weekend as part of Ibiza’s rebrand to IDeezer. Lucky
attendees at the intimate events will have the ability to
influence his playlist by recommending Deezer tracks via
Twitter.”

use

10. EVENT REGISTRATION
We will develop a global, bespoke, co-branded microsite
with Kaskade where we can encourage his biggest fans
from across the globe to enter to win a VIP weekend in
IDeezer, including unrivalled access to his island gigs.
“How does a VIP weekend on the biggest party island in the
world - where you can rub shoulders with Kaskade - sound?
Enter here, and you can be in with an all-expenses paid
weekend to watch the madness unfold as we completely take-
over Ibiza.”
We would recommend two competition winners per
market (with each competition winner receiving a plus one
addition). 20 competition winners globally.
11. COMPETITION MECHANIC
SECRET IDEEZER
Ask people to guess where
they think the IDeezer gigs
will be via a google maps
interface
AUTO-POPULATE
Ensure that the microsite
auto-populates your entry
through social channels
We are proposing a scalable mechanic for competition entry, that will vary
between markets dependent on local culture and popular social channels.
Suggestions include:
12. SOCIAL AMPLIFICATION

16. EVENT OVERVIEW
We will host between three and four ‘secret’ IDeezer parties,
headlined by Kaskade.
These will be scheduled at intimate locations around the
island, and at different points of the day:
Pool party at a private villa
Sundown party at a secluded beach
Surprise guest performance at a club
Intimate after-party in the wee hours
Each party will host between 100 and 300 guests. Guests in
Ibiza and abroad will have the ability to help “curate their live
playlist” by tweeting their song suggestions to Kaskade, using
the hashtag #IDeezer
17. ARTIST REQUIREMENTS
The artist will be required to stage between three or four gigs,
ranging between one to two hours.
While they will have the ability to determine their own set,
they will be required to take some form of guidance through
the social crowd-sourcing mechanism: “Tweet Kaskade what
tracks you’d like him to play using the #Ideezer hashtag, and
help curate your own live playlist”
There is the opportunity to use more than one Warner artist in
this campaign – for simplicity of this presentation we have
focused on Kaskade as an example.
