Maroon 5

Maroon 5 catwalk concert- Victoria’s secret:

Men- they want to buy the song so then they can get a woman that is like a Victoria’s secret model- aim to get a sexy woman

Woman- want to buy the song so they can get a nice figure and aim to be like the models but also so they can get a rock star boyfriend (Adam Levine)

The target audience is for adults as the lingerie is expensive so not a lot of children have the money for it! Upper class-Middle class audience

An alternative interpretation is that people will be put off as they will feel uncomfortable and “fat” as they don’t have a body like that.

The technique is reward because men get woman and women get a sexy figure and a boyfriend.

 

Album cover:

Black and white because it reminds us of the 60s (nostalgia). It’s a tribute to Mick Jagger. Trying to associate themselves with the 60s and the rolling stones so older people can be attracted to it. The older generation will be happy that Maroon 5 remember that kind of music and appreciate it as not many people nowadays remember it.

The orange on the album cover could be there to update the black and white image and make it seem exciting. Also the orange is a happy and joyful colour.

Maroon 5 are the more important and main artist in the song so they are at the top. However, Christina Aguilera is at the bottom as she is only featuring in the song.

When people in their 20s see Christina, they will remember their childhood as they were teens back then when she was most famous.

Maroon 5 news article:

Found on a website (MTV) this means that the target audience would be young adults/teens.

Only Adam Levine is being interviewed, he’s the focus. They show a picture of him being topless which makes the women feels attractive to him. Appealing to girls who like looks rather than the music. Trying to make him look like a pin-up so young teenage girls will want to have a poster of him on their wall. Males will also like him as he has tattoos which will make men think that he’s manly and want to listen to his music because he’s cool!
