DDB Latina and Movistar Create a New Kind of Partnership Between Artists, Users, and Brands

A digital platform that paves the way to a new paradigm where consumers are the primary means of music distribution and rights are shared with them.

MIAMI, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DDB Spain and the Miami office have created "More than Fans", a platform for their regional client: Movistar.

The platform was launched today with a crowdsourcing competition in which for the first time an artist will share 50% of the digital rights to their song with their fans in eight different countries.

Thanks to the user's participation, "More than Fans" brings a more consumer centric model where users can get a closer experience with the brand. Not to mention that through the platform, brands and artists can now obtain detailed information about their music performance. Learn where it plays and works best. It also allows consumers to own their fingerprint and know about their digital influence. These facts will further help brands connect better with its consumers.

The competition will take place until April 21 on www.movistarmasquefans.com. Over this period, fans from Costa Rica, Spain, Ecuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, and Uruguay can compete for the rights generated by the song. To do so, they will have to register, share the song and earn points through the digital platform. Likes, shares, comments, re-tweets, new friends, etc. will allow them to score and climb in a ranking position to win. They can also be part of mini-games related to the song and the group to make points, and compete every day for prizes sponsored by brands associated to Movistar.

At the end of the competition, the two fans from each participant country that received the highest score, win.

Made of Wood was chosen as Movistar's corporate song for Spain and Latin America in 2016. This lively track is by Kostrok, a Spanish DJ duo formed by José Martí and Adrian Lurbe Quilis. Their first single Right Now was a big hit in the main Spanish and European electronic music charts and was chosen for the NBA Playoffs ads aired throughout Latin America in 2013. It was also on the soundtrack to the film Les Combattants.
