&>For undergraduate and graduate level Marketing and Communication courses or practitioners in the entertainment industry.

Entertainment Marketing &Communication is the first textbook to focus specifically on entertainment marketing, offering clear and up-to-date framework for you to experience and adapt marketing principles and communication theory to the entertainment world.

Does your class primarily consist of Business Students or Communication students?  How do you adapt and integrate the principles of marketing and communication theory to the entertainment industry in your classroom?

With this text, students of marketing and communication can now share the secrets and the insights of today’s entertainment professionals.  The book’s marketing communications framework is grounded in four key perspectives:

1. Theoretical or principles perspective: Theories underlie the study of communication, and marketing principles serve as models for developing new and interactive techniques.
2.  Behavioral perspective: Principles of consumer behavior and audience motivation provide real understanding of why and how people use entertainment.
3. Implementation perspective: Planning and strategy development are tools of marketing and communication that enable students to directly apply their knowledge.
4. Evaluative perspective: The message becomes profound through real-life examples. Five case studies provide great opportunities to analyze and critique what is really happening today in entertainment marketing.

What perspective do you typically take when teaching, that of a marketing professional or a communication professional? How do you make this course conducive to learning from both the communication and marketing perspectives? Do you feel that there is a significant difference between them?

Entertainment Marketing & Communication also integrates the perspectives of and important insights from two related fields:

1. Communications – This area of study recognizes the critical need to develop persuasive and effective communication among audiences, consumers, and employees.
2. Interactive technology – This field plays a vital role for both marketing and communicating about entertainment.

What are some key topics that you feel are necessary to cover during the course of the semester?

The text is divided into five parts, each focusing on key areas of entertainment marketing.   

Part 1: The Entertainment Industry provides a contextual introduction by characterizing today’s experience culture. 

Part 2: Entertainment Audiences and Audience Research guides you through the theory and practice of specific methods and looks at approaches to audience segmentation and research. 

Part 3: Applying Marketing and Communications Principles to the Entertainment Industry focuses on branding, integrated communications, promotion, and campaign planning.

Part 4: Industry Applications covers marketing applications for five areas: live performance and events, destinations and tourist services, attractions and themed spaces, mediated entertainment, and stars and celebrities.

Part 5: Case Studies from the Real World of Experiential Entertainment presents five detailed cases related directly to the applications presented in Part 4. They include marketing for a performance venue, a luxury resort brand, a theme park, a film brand, and a celebrity.
