  • What was done successfully to meet the wants and needs of the target audience?
The TV show The Voice has become very popular since it first aired in 2012. This show is so wildly popular because it appeals to such a wide range of people. The purpose of this show is to give singers a fighting chance who don’t fit the typical “look” of a super star singer. This show meets the needs of their audience by continuing to focus on good singers and less about appearance. They also go into the performers back stories and how much of a struggle it is to become a singer when you are either overweight or maybe have a deformity. This show continues to entertain American by showcasing great singers, having battles and hiring witty coaches who are well known and liked.
  • How was the social and consumer experience addressed? Was this done successfully? Explain.
The Voice brings in the audience and views opinions by having them call in to vote on their favorite artist after a certain point in the show. By doing this, they are engaging with their audience and making this show more engaging for viewers. The producers of The Voice also have interactive polls and communications on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Lastly, The Voice has a great website that has all current and up to do date information about contestants and viewing times, but they also have back stories about previous performers and what they are doing now.
  • How were the digital media followers handled?
NBC does a great job at advertising for The Voice and communicating with fans on the website. The Voice administrators that handle the social media accounts do a great job with keeping up with their daily posts and responding to their viewers. They are great about posting when shows are going to air and how to vote for the contestants. The Voice has a great social media following and they are very responsive to their followers. Having the power for their followers to Tweet and vote during live shows makes the viewing experience more entertaining.
  • Is there something that could have been done differently to make that experience more efficient?
I don’t think that much else can be done to make the viewing experience of The Voice more efficient. They are very diligent with their marketing strategies and getting through to their viewers. I have been a long-time fan of this show and every year they continue to impress me with small changes in the competition such as changing the coaches or adding celebrity guests. I truly think they their long-term success can be attributed to their overly efficient marketing strategies and their commitment to their viewers.
