Questions for discussion: 

  • How do you explain this example of viral communication success?
  • More importantly, does the financial success suggest a new marketing model emerging for others to follow?
  • How would you expect traditional music industry marketers to respond to this phenomenon?
  • What advice would you send to marketers that would allow them to exploit this type of marketing?
