Ch. 18- Social Media and Marketing


Twitter, Facebook, Official Website
Social media has been a major part in the quick rise to fame of One Direction.  They do what they do for the fans, always thanking them via twitter and other social media sites.  They use twitter to constantly remind their fans about the products that they have out such as music, merchandise, and tour announcements.  When competing in the x-factor social media was used to spread the word about the band and therefore making them a world phenomenon being compared to The Beatles.  The image that has been set about One Direction is a goodie two shoes band which has accompanied them throughout their five years in the industry making them want to break apart from that image to adapt to the newest music they make.  Social media monitoring is an essential part to make sure to keep their good image up.  Maintaining a website is crucial to anyone who is selling items, One Direction’s website maintains an easy interface that can be used by anyone in the world adapting to anybody’s language.  In an interview with an ex Sony worker they expressed how important it was for each band member to know how to handle themselves and connect with the fans.
