eMusic's aim was to drive traffic to their site and to persuade customers to take a free 14 day subscription to their audio content. They also wanted to raise their brand profile, and to emphasise that they offer a wide range of music suitable for all digital audio devices. A memostick was identified as the ideal solution; the self adhesive sticker was a cost effective, innovative way to make eMusic's message stand out.

Drive traffic to the eMusic site and persuade consumers to take a free 14 day subscription to their audio content.

The front cover of the Observer Music Monthly (OMM) was the perfect location for eMusic's memostick. OMM is a key magazine for the industry and has a readership of affluent professionals who are passionate about a wide range of music. eMusic chose to test the effectiveness of their campaign using Guardian News and Media's Brand Aid Panel.

Research showed that 70% of Observer readers questioned noticed the ad. 42% OMM readers said they would visit eMusics site as a result of seeing the ad. A quarter of readers said they would stick the memostick elsewhere to keep, thus extending its impactand. 30% said they planned to download songs from it. OMM was perceived as a good fit for eMusic's advertising by 86% of readers.
