Cultural intermediaries in the making of branded music events: digital cultural capital in tension

ABSTRACT

Previous studies have overlooked how intermediaries and their digital cultural capital enhance the relationship between brand values and consumer identities; their specific uses of digital technologies; and how those uses are displayed in activities where intermediaries create consumer experiences. This paper thus explores the role that cultural intermediaries (music bloggers and an advertising agency) and their digital cultural capital play in making and communicating a branded music event. Briefly, intermediaries used a set of digital technologies (social media, guest lists, blogs, and websites) to create and orchestrate an authentic and exclusive experience between brands and consumers. We draw on empirical material from interviews and ethnographic work conducted in Santiago, Chile. Our study identifies digital technologies used by cultural intermediaries in communicating branded music events, including as: promotional tools; advertising campaign efficacy evaluation mechanisms; and relational objects that connect advertising agencies, music bloggers, brands, and consumers. By exploring the tensions and conflicts that arise among bloggers and advertising executives, we shed light on the uses and exchanges of digital cultural capital for commercial purposes, resulting from the connections between intermediaries that come from different fields of cultural production.     

传播学视角下的城市文化建筑设计与传播策略研究

信息时代到来,以互联网移动终端为主要传播途径的社会信息共享效率大大提高,大众需求也随之提升。大量城市网红建筑及“打卡点”的出现表明建筑设计传播过程已不能忽视当下新媒体传播环境对其造成的影响。这些建筑作为城市文化的重要传播载体,成为社会公众与城市文化生活联结的“桥梁”。运用传播学理论对建筑设计传播过程进行解读,以与公众社会生活联系最紧密的城市文化建筑为研究对象,基于传播学理论提出以建筑功能与形式统一为底线,通过建筑外界面视觉感官建立第一印象,通过建筑文脉符号加快信息传播及接收速度,通过开放公共的内部空间体验加固信息传播效果,通过数字技术手段丰富建筑信息的表达方式和公众感官体验。最后提出适应新媒体传播环境,积极运用多样化的拟态传播环境促进建筑信息传播效率的策略。
