Author:Kristin Lieb
Gender, Branding, and the Modern Music Industry combines interview data with music industry professionals with theoretical frameworks from sociology, mass communication, and marketing to explain and explore the gender differences female artists experience. This book provides a rare lens on the rigid packaging process that transforms female artists of various genres into female pop stars. Stars—and the industry power brokers who make their fortunes—have learned to prioritize sexual attractiveness over talent as they fight a crowded field for movie deals, magazine covers, and fashion lines, let alone record deals. This focus on the female pop star’s body as her core asset has resigned many women to being “short term brands,” positioned to earn as much money as possible before burning out or aging ungracefully. This book, which includes interview data from music industry insiders, explores the sociological forces that drive women into these tired representations, and the ramifications for the greater social world.

2 Female Popular Music Stars as Brands
Evolution and lifecycle of celebrity firms and person brands
Contemporary notions of brand
Theoretical gaps: Person brands and short-term brands
Behind the scenes: Managing short-term person brands
Principle 1: There are different brand types for female musicians, depending upon how well they sell and stream, how often they tour, how much they are able to extend their brands into other entertainment realms, and how long they stay visible.
Principle 2: Sales and streaming drive top-level success, but brand extensions and diversification complete the standard pop star portfolio
Brand extensions
Extending brands via licensing deals
Collaborations as extensions
Collaborations as extensions in rap
Unlikely extensions
One: What’s in a name: Keep it real or adopt a pseudonym?
Two: Suggest what your brand means, but seek your audience’s (receiver’s) contributions to make it complete, then control what you can
Three: Artist “accessibility” is important—but have some boundaries, some self-awareness, and some graciousness
Four: The truth is better than fiction
Five: You can’t control culture, so work with it to get what you want
