This thesis explores the strategies utilized when branding and marketing an artist. This idea was inspired by how Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has captured headlines consistently for over a year now. This thesis will discuss how aspects of Taylor Swift’s brand - her core values, fan engagement, co-creation, fear of missing out, scarcity appeal, and nostalgia - have promoted her success. The thesis will then consider what marketing and branding elements led to this phenomenon that an aspiring, or developed, artist can learn from and implement in their career.
