OVERVIEW
Join a revolutionary and historic movement by becoming a sponsor of one of our games for the 2024 season. Music-Performance Sports (Music-Sports) will be the next big thing since ESPORTS.
Music-Sports League (MSL) is the world's first music-performance sports organization. Headquartered in Newport News, VA., MSL is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. MSL administers the Song vs Song Series (SvS) and (COMING SOON) Beat vs Beat Series (BvB).
SvS is an online-based song competition where the independent artists are the players, and the sport is the performance of their songs and performances. SvS is made up of 4-regular season games, a playoff game (MICOFFS), and a world championship game (SUPER MIC). This provides independent artists the opportunity to earn revenue and increase exposure to their songs.
2023 STATS
MARKETING STRATEGY:
In the 2023 season, we used a combination of guerilla marketing and advertising tactics. Games were promoted using digital flyers, Ad campaigns via Facebook, IG, Twitter, and Linkedin to drive visitors to our website to participate in our games by voting. We targeted men and women ages 18-36. Additionally, the players assisted with their own form of promotions, as well, which greatly helped our numbers. Despite our marketing being targeted solely toward U.S. residents, we received voters from countries such as Ireland, China, and the United Kingdom.
WEBSITE ACTIVITY:
Website Page Views: 7,445
Voter Participation: 5,112
Artist Participation: 37
Artist Age Demographic: 18-32
NOTE: 75% of our voters used their phones to participate.
PROMOTIONAL RESOURCES:
Direct Source: 5,320 (50%)
Social Media Source: 4,186 (39%)
Link Source: 1206 (11%)
2024 MARKETING STRATEGY:
In 2024, our goal is to use the same methods as we did in 2023, as they were successful. With hopes of a bigger marketing budget, our plan is to have a much larger reach in 2024 by expanding to radio and TV. To increase engagement, we will be rolling out a customer loyalty points program where voters can earn points by participating. Voter participation will be rewarded with points, which, could be redeemed for merchandise, NFTs, and other perks. Points will also be rewarded to our players for participation and competitiveness. Points would be redeemable for promotional and marketing perks. We will also be rolling out a mobile app to make our games more user-friendly as 75% of our visitors accessed our site using their mobile devices. Lastly, we are currently in talks with DraftKings to get the 2024 season active.
