VoicePlay's Patreon pizza party launch promos

The creative gentlemen of VoicePlay rarely do anything by half measures. So when they decided to join crowdfunding platform Patreon, they didn't just write a blog post or make a simple video talking to a camera. No, they decided it was time for a whole scripted skit, complete with multiple song excerpts and a location shoot.

The original YouTube video has since been made private, but they reposted it to their Facebook page the following summer.

Beleaguered business boy Geoff tries to browbeat his hungry buddies into listening to his pitch, despite the many interruptions and digressions. (Yeah, I don't feel like doing any more alliteration.)

Details:

title: Patreon pizza party — ep. 1

original songs / performers: "Born in the U.S.A." by Bruce Springsteen; "My Prerogative" by Bobby Brown

arranged by: VoicePlay

release date: 13 November 2015; reposted to Facebook on 1 August 2016

Once the guys are finally onboard with the plan, the close quarters of the restaurant cause a different problem.

How do you defuse a fraught situation? If you're a professional a cappella group, you sing it out and maybe even start a dance party.

Trivia

The alliterative waitress is played by VP's production manager extraordinaire, Kathy Castellucci, a talented performer in her own right.

The affronted mom is played by Jaimz Dillman, who has also appeared in several PattyCake productions, mostly as Mary Sanderson from Hocus Pocus.

The diners at the surrounding tables include Layne's parents and his step-daughter Lilly, audio engineer Paul Kaleka, theme park pal Jonathon Timpanelli, and Eli's then-girlfriend Ashley.

These videos were filmed overnight at a Winter Park pizza place called Carlucci's, which has since closed.

VoicePlay had previously included "Bad Blood" and "Shut Up and Dance" in their "Aca Top 10 — Summer Hits 2015" countdown.

One of the sillier Patreon perks for early supporters was that Layne would "snore your name" as he napped, a reference to an incident during the 2014 Sing-Off tour when he started beatboxing in his sleep on the tour bus.

The fans met the first milestone of $500 per video in the first day, and hit the second just three days later.

The Power of Promotional Materials in Kenya's Dynamic Market

In today's competitive Kenyan business landscape, standing out from the crowd is more crucial than ever. One of the most effective ways to boost brand visibility and customer engagement is through well-designed and strategically distributed promotional materials. Let's explore how Kenyan businesses can leverage these powerful marketing tools to drive growth and establish a strong market presence.

Understanding the Kenyan Consumer

Before diving into specific promotional strategies, it's essential to understand the unique characteristics of the Kenyan consumer. With a population of over 50 million and a rapidly growing middle class, Kenya offers a diverse and evolving market. Consumers here value quality, affordability, and products that reflect local culture and values. Successful promotional materials in Kenya should speak to these preferences while also considering the country's urban-rural divide and multilingual nature.

Types of Promotional Materials That Work in Kenya

There's a wide array of promotional materials that can be effective in the Kenyan market:

Branded apparel: T-shirts, caps, and bags are popular choices that offer high visibility in public spaces.

Stationery items: Pens, notebooks, and calendars provide practical value while keeping your brand top-of-mind.

Tech accessories: USB drives, phone cases, and power banks appeal to the country's tech-savvy population.

Traditional items: Keychains, mugs, and umbrellas remain classic choices for brand promotion.

Eco-friendly options: With growing environmental awareness, reusable shopping bags and water bottles are gaining traction.

The key is to choose items that align with your brand identity and offer genuine utility to your target audience.

Leveraging Digital and Physical Promotional Strategies

In Kenya's increasingly digital landscape, it's crucial to integrate both online and offline promotional strategies:

Digital promotions:

Social media campaigns featuring your promotional items

Email marketing with exclusive offers on branded merchandise

Virtual events and webinars with digital giveaways

Physical promotions:

Trade shows and exhibitions where promotional items can be distributed

In-store displays and point-of-sale materials

Sponsorship of local events with branded giveaways

By combining these approaches, businesses can create a cohesive promotional strategy that reaches consumers across multiple touchpoints.

Customization and Localization: The Kenyan Touch

To truly resonate with Kenyan consumers, promotional materials should reflect local tastes and preferences:

Incorporate Kenyan colors, patterns, or symbols into your designs

Use Swahili phrases or proverbs where appropriate

Consider seasonal items that align with Kenya's climate and cultural calendar

Partner with local artisans to create unique, handcrafted promotional items

This approach not only makes your brand more relatable but also supports local communities, which can enhance your company's reputation.

Measuring the Impact of Promotional Materials

To ensure your investment in promotional materials pays off, it's crucial to track their effectiveness:

Implement unique QR codes or promo codes on items to track engagement

Conduct surveys to gauge brand recall and sentiment after distributing promotional items

Monitor social media mentions and hashtags related to your promotional campaign

Analyze sales data to identify correlations between promotional activities and revenue growth

By regularly assessing the impact of your promotional efforts, you can refine your strategy and maximize return on investment.

I watched the video and was going to give it a pass, as singers wearing latex is pretty common these days...

...then I saw the promotional art/cover for the single, pure fetish fodder.

ohhhhhh I truly cannot get over the EVIL GENIUS of having crowley make a point of immediately taking his sunglasses off every time he's in the bookshop or alone with aziraphale this season, showing just how comfortable he's become showing his emotions and his vulnerability to aziraphale since season 1, opening himself up completely at every opportunity, showing us a side of him that's remained almost entirely hidden for millennia, only for him to silently and purposefully put his sunglasses back on immediately once aziraphale rejects his love confession. like, bravo gaiman, I saw what you did there and I'm never going to fucking recover from it. well done

This story of tech firm Palo Alto using women literally dressed as sexy lamps for their event at a cybersecurity conference (and getting massive blowback from women in tech) has been going around, and it feels like some weird combination of the 00s era of video game "booth babes" (when I saw the story I was like "what year is it?") combined with somebody thinking Kelly Sue DeConnick's "sexy lamp test" was an instruction manual. >_>

Tangentially, I feel like if there was a comic book supervillain whose gimmick was lamps, they'd probably have minions dressed like this.

"Clement Mansell," portrayed by Boyd Holbrook, is the most dangerous man Raylan has ever faced. An unpredictable nihilist with no compass. He kills like some men breathe.

The Sing-Off season 4 promos

After keeping it secret for months — through filming and waiting and working on additional secret projects — VoicePlay finally got to reveal their participation in the fourth season of The Sing-Off when NBC started rolling out advertising for it in mid-November. Needless to say, the guys were excited.

.

They also got to reveal the addition of pal Honey Larochelle to the group for the show, after the sneak peeks they'd provided in their videos for "Feel This Moment" and "Get Lucky".

.

Their friends were pretty excited for them, too.

The Edge Effect is a fellow Orlando-based five-man a cappella group whose membership includes former 4:2:Five tenor Danny Alan.

Scott was the original beatboxer for 4:2:Five way back during their high school and college years, and has remained supportive ever since.

Aaron and Layne likely met in 2009 when 4:2:Five participated in a benefit concert hosted by the University of Rochester Yellowjackets (for whom Layne later produced two albums). He calls The Sing-Off "our show" because he competed on it in season 3 with the Yellowjackets. He was on again in season 5 as a member of The Exchange, who then joined VoicePlay and Street Corner Symphony on the 2015 Sing-Off tour.

.

There was some nice local and national press coverage.

Archived Orlando Sentinel articles are paywalled :(

.

And, of course, a show on national broadcast TV had commercials.

The official video from NBC has since been made private, but thankfully Layne made a bootleg recording and put it on his personal channel.

.

There were even more intimate interviews and previews.

ScreenSlam did a series of interviews with members of each group in the competition, as well as the judges and host Nick Lachey.

VoicePlay sing an excerpt of "Waterfalls" by TLC, then Geoff awkwardly promotes their socials.

.

In the final week before the premiere, they posted a series of snazzy countdown images across social media.

.

And then the whirlwind began…

The Power of Promotional Materials: Boosting Your Brand in a Competitive Market

In today’s highly competitive market, businesses are constantly searching for innovative ways to stand out and attract customers. One of the most effective strategies is the use of promotional materials. From pens and mugs to custom apparel and tech gadgets, promotional items are powerful tools that can significantly boost brand awareness and loyalty. Let’s explore why promotional materials are essential and how they can benefit your business.

The Impact of Tangible Marketing

Promotional materials offer a tangible way for customers to connect with your brand. Unlike digital ads that can be quickly forgotten, physical items create a lasting impression. When a potential customer receives a branded pen or a reusable tote bag, they are reminded of your company every time they use it. This repeated exposure helps in embedding your brand into their daily lives, making it more likely that they will think of your business when they need your products or services.

Building Brand Recognition

Consistency is key to building a recognizable brand. Promotional materials help maintain this consistency by ensuring your brand’s logo, colors, and message are visible in various contexts. When customers see your brand repeatedly in different forms – be it a water bottle at the gym or a USB drive at a conference – it builds familiarity and trust. Over time, this recognition can translate into customer loyalty and increased sales.

Cost-Effective Marketing

Compared to other forms of advertising, promotional materials are a cost-effective way to reach a large audience. Bulk ordering items like keychains or stickers is relatively inexpensive, and these items have a long shelf life. A well-chosen promotional product can generate impressions for months or even years, providing a high return on investment. This makes it an attractive option for businesses of all sizes, especially those with limited marketing budgets.

Enhancing Customer Relationships

Giving away promotional materials is more than just a marketing tactic; it’s a gesture of goodwill. Customers appreciate free items, and this appreciation can foster positive feelings towards your brand. By offering useful and high-quality promotional products, you show that you value your customers. This can enhance customer satisfaction and encourage repeat business. Additionally, promotional items can serve as excellent conversation starters, making them valuable tools for networking events and trade shows.

Creative Expression

Promotional materials also offer an avenue for creativity and innovation. Customizing items to reflect your brand’s personality can set you apart from competitors. For example, a tech company might distribute branded portable chargers, while an eco-friendly business could offer reusable bamboo utensils. The key is to choose items that align with your brand’s values and appeal to your target audience. Creative promotional materials not only capture attention but also communicate your brand’s unique identity.

Conclusion

In a world where digital marketing often dominates, promotional materials provide a refreshing and impactful way to engage with customers. They are cost-effective, enhance brand recognition, build customer loyalty, and offer a platform for creative expression. By incorporating well-chosen promotional items into your marketing strategy, you can create lasting impressions and build stronger connections with your audience.
