• The thesis presents a new way to market free downloadable music based on the „Born in the Land of a Thousand Hills” album by Mishoo The Drumkit. The research goal is to present the results of the crossmedia-based marketing strategy which was used to distribute the album internationally. Three media channels were chosen to distribute the music. The thesis explains why online, print and mobile media were chosen to reach the goal and which strategy was chosen for each medium. Especially the marketing campaigns in co-operation with Mercedes Benz Tv and the German BEAT magazine are specifically described. At the end of the thesis the possible costs and the download statistics are shown to show how effective the strategy was.
