My question: How much of this is Timberlake leveraging his success in careful, well-calculated ways—and winning big, and how much is it the streaming? The scarcity of new Timberlake material for seven years probably created an atmosphere where fans were super-curious.
There are broader lessons in marketing here beyond just the streaming. The streaming is one element.
A recent Billboard interview with JT's manager, Johnny Wright, sort of underscores this: http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/branding/1552474/justin-timberlake-manager-johnny-wright-on-secret-plans-around http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/branding/1552474/...
- KoulMomo 14y agoI'm also really impressed with Justin Timberlake's branding strategy (everything post "Dick in a Box"). I wonder how many people out there, like me, were converted from hater, to fan.
- anigbrowl 14y agoCount me in. He's one of the few pop artists I pay careful attention to.
- miloshadzic 14y agoI don't think "Dick in a Box", "Motherlover" and "Three way" were part of his marketing strategy. I think he's just a cool guy.
