This is one of the first academically rigorous texts covering the whole topic of popular music as a major market, and its marketing and in the contemporary connected world.There are books written by popular music commentators but Music, Markets and Consumption aims to give a fully international and scholarly analysis integrating the unique popular music sector both within arts marketing and current marketing and consumption theories. It will give the student and specialist a full overview and coverage of music, marketing and cultural policy, and the emerging academic study of the sector. It will collect and analyse a range of key issues in the field including: * The increasing engagement with marketing and consumer studies theory; * The analysis of music as 'product'; * The economics, branding and commercialisation of music globally; * The impact of technology and evolution of venues on music consumption; * The consumer- fans and fandom; * The fast developing international literature. It will be a much needed new perspective for students and researchers of music and arts marketing, cultural consumption and consumption theories and those in the fields of Marketing, Arts, Music and Cultural Studies. The book will also be essential reading for those professionally involved in music marketing and cultural policy.

Arts, heritage, non-profit and social marketing today comprise key components of the contemporary marketing management scene. Governments, charities and voluntary sector organisations throughout the world are increasingly involved in the development of marketing campaigns, and more and more of these organisations are likely to be at the cutting edge of the application of the very latest marketing methods. Research in the arts, heritage, non-profit and social marketing fields is intellectually rigorous, relevant for user communities, and has a great deal to offer to marketing theory as well as to promotional practice. This book presents a collection of stimulating articles that report some of the freshest and most innovative research and thinking in the authors’ specialist domains. Collectively the chapters offer a balance of empirical and conceptual research in arts, heritage, non-profit and social marketing. They explore new ideas, challenge pre-existing orthodoxies, develop knowledge, and demonstrate the epistemological importance of current research in these critical areas. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Marketing Management.
