SONY BMG AND NEW MEDIA
they have created a new sysytem were fans can communicate with their favourite artists-
He says Mozes only sends messages to people who have opted into the program. If you're a hard-core fan of musician Teddy Geiger, Porter says, you'll want him texting you with his next concert date or leaving a voice message about an upcoming release (Geiger uses the service, Porter said).
For Sony BMG, this marketing method can offer a much more directed link to its target communities.
