Labrinth
Labrinth is busy bustin’ sick beats hidden in a studio somewhere, meanwhile we’ve been doing some hiding of our own.

If you’ve signed up to Labrinth’s various social media sites, you may have noticed the sneaky inclusion of QR Codes which lead to some exclusive content produced by Labrinth and ourselves.

QR Codes have been used by pop stars like The Pet Shop Boys before, however we feel the infrastructure had been lacking until recently (namely the mass adoption of Smart Phones we’ve seen in the last two years or so) and therefore there has been limited success with campaigns utilising them. We see the timing as being right now and the use of QR Codes as a perfect fit for Labrinth; not only does it aesthetically suit his name but both are still relatively new, so only people in the know… well, know. Overall it’s an accessible and forward thinking way for Labrinth to find his place in the physical web.


Syco’s new signing: Labrinth site goes live

Super-star in waiting Labrinth this week signed a recording deal with Syco Music.
This is the first time Syco have signed an artist that has not come through one of their TV platforms, so it’s a very exciting time for us and them to be able to work with an artist from the ground up.
We met with Labrinth, ahead of the news breaking to discuss his creative aspirations and what direction he’d like to go in in the digital space. Not only is Labrinth a prolific producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer, he’s also a bit of a retro computer gamer, so it’s not hard to see where we got the inspiration from for the initial creative approach… Welcome to Labrinth v1.0.

We’ve looked after Syco artists for quite some time now, but recently we were instructed to take the reins on all things digital. It’s our job to make sure all the social media initiatives are being built and activated, as well as assessing commercial opportunities and making the case for improvements on the labels websites. Facebook Connect is numero uno.

Particularly notable moments in our work with Syco have been; Joe McElderry’s number 1 hit, Susan Boyle selling 4 million albums and Alexandra Burke’s Brit nominated number 1 hit Bad Boys. Also, start following Leona Lewis on Twitter. Leona is now a genuine tweeter: @leonalewismusic

Keep checking back for updates on all of the Syco artist’s websites and social media activities.
