Rita's LIFT campaign will feature prominently on VEVO for 8 weeks, giving her an opportunity to reach its huge monthly audience of nearly 60 million users (according to comScore) and turn them into fans. VEVO will film exclusive programming with Rita, including an episode of its music-meets-fashion series, Stylized, behind the scenes interviews and weekly video diary updates. VEVO will also present Rita at a fan showcase live in New York City, which will be filmed for on-demand viewing across VEVO. Through LIFT, VEVO has been firmly established as the number one destination to watch great music from both well-established and emerging talent.
On being included in the VEVO Lift program, Rita Ora stated, "I'm really excited to be chosen as a US VEVO LIFT artist. It's a great opportunity to reach millions more music fans with my sound and let them see the real Rita."
Stated Rob Stringer, Chairman and CEO of Columbia Records added, "Rita is one of the most exciting new artists in the world and with her unique visual flair, she is perfect for the VEVO LIFT program."
