Media Sharing Ad Campaigns

This YouTube Music Ad Campaign Shows Everyday People with a Theme Song

— July 19, 2016 — Pop Culture
The new YouTube Music ad campaign features five short videos following young people in their everyday lives as they listen to their own personal theme song that sums up who they are. The ads show the diversity and inclusiveness of YouTube Music with each of its American characters: Afsa is a hijab-donned student, Alex is teenager who dresses in drag, Tina is community service worker with an interracial family, Kristen is a young woman heartbroken on a plane, and Jaysn is a young Japanese boy discovering his identity.

Each video demonstrates how music changes, touches, and transforms people with all five films ending with the words "Music isn’t just what we listen to. It’s who we are."

The YouTube Music ad campaign tastefully targets Millennials and Gen Z while touching on some hot topics that impact Americans today. The films evoke emotions from consumers and serve to connect the company with all types of individuals, including the disenfranchised.
Trend Themes
1. Targeted Ad Campaigns - Creating ad campaigns that resonate with specific demographics and groups, such as Millennials and Gen Z, can increase engagement and promote inclusivity.
2. Authentic Representation - Including characters from diverse backgrounds and lifestyles in ad campaigns can promote inclusivity and generate positive emotions from consumers.
3. Emotional Storytelling - Creating ads that evoke strong emotions can connect with consumers on a deeper level and improve brand perception.
Industry Implications
1. Music Streaming - Incorporating personal themes and emotions into music streaming services can attract users who identify with specific songs or genres.
2. Marketing and Advertising - Using inclusive and emotional ad campaigns can improve brand perception and increase engagement among target demographics.
3. Entertainment - Including authentic representation of diverse lifestyles and backgrounds in movies, TV shows, and music can increase audience engagement and attract a wider demographic.
