Last month, we reported on the mysterious marketing campaign for British band Broken Witt Rebels. It saw massive billboard ads in prominent UK locations, as well as a front-page Shazam promotion on daily newspaper Metro, for an unsigned blues-rock band.
As we explained at the time, it was an experiment in ‘breaking a band’ by media agency MEC. Now Music Ally has talked to the agency about the what, how and why of its campaign. “The task became breaking a band rather than breaking a single in eight-to-10 weeks,” said MEC’s Mark Knight. Broken Witt Rebels are now on the verge of being signed as a result. “One is from Universal and the other is from an independent. There is a third conversation going on as we speak. There’s no offer yet, but a third conversation with a major label, which I’m quite hopeful for,” said Knight.
