Case Study
The Bachauer
Situation
The Bachauer engaged Gold Sound Media to increase online viewership for their 2021 Junior and Young Artists Competition.
Just having rebranded and coming out of the pandemic when the original competition had been scheduled, they wanted to burst onto the international stage once again.
Strategy
We created numerous digital assets targeting each generation to watch the streamed competition. Deploying our knowledge of Meta Business Suite and Google, we ran hyper-targeted ads on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Google Search.
We also reached out to our Ambassador Network and implemented a micro-influencer campaign across Instagram to drive awareness within classical music circles. This extended to brokering a media partnership between our client and International Piano magazine to promote the competition by increasing visibility on their digital platforms.
Solution
Social media impressions topped 1.4 million and the webcast hit record highs of 148,000 views, tripling the amount of previous competitions.
What the client thinks
"Jonathan Eifert and Gold Sound Media have been instrumental in guiding our efforts to stay connected to the international music world through this time of pandemic. Even with the delays and complications of not being able to hold live piano concerts and competitions, Jonathan found creative ways to promote our events, reach new audiences, shape messaging to appeal to diverse groups, and maximize the effectiveness of every advertising dollar spent. Thanks to his extensive efforts and in-depth knowledge of the classical music world, our online views reached impressive numbers, often tripling those from previous years. I heartily recommend him to all those hoping to create the most impact for their events!"
