Heart brand extended with new compilation album inspired by radio show
By Laura Brooks
Global Radio is partnering with Universal on the release of a new compilation, marking the first extension of the Heart brand.
The two-CD compilation album, inspired by the Heartbreakers show on Heart, will be released on June 22, the same day that nine more stations join the Heart network.
This will bring the total number of stations on the network to 33, with Universal hoping to piggyback on the resulting publicity.
There will also be an extensive marketing campaign to promote the album itself, featuring national TV coverage and a heavyweight radio campaign on the Heart network, as well as a microsite dedicated to the album.
"We are very impressed with the amount of activity that Global are putting into the rebranding," says UMTV managing director Brian Berg. "We felt that an album that came out when a massive rebranding campaign for Heart around the country was under way would be very successful. It gives us a very core national brand."
