Justin Bieber, Digital Marketing Genius



On October 9th the media received the report that a laptop computer and a camera were stolen from Justin Bieber during his tour stay in Tacoma, Washington. 

Later that day he wrote on Twitter to let his fans know he was very upset because there was personal footage in the devices.

Justin is a known digital marketer, using social media to interact directly with his fans on daily basis.

The announcement created speculation in media outlets that maybe there was a sex tape, naked pictures or confidential documents in the laptop.

The next day an anonymous person posted on Twitter two links of the singer interacting with friends in different years bringing credibility to the claim.

Justin and the anonymous micro blogger exchanged heated messages and the threats started to appear saying he would post a bombastic video the next day, prompting Justin to go to his Twitter and defend himself about being the victim of false rumors since he was 14 years old.



Friday, October 12th at noon was the deadline. 

When the time came, fans were raging with curiosity and the video started with a statement that three hours of footage had been stolen and illegally uploaded but it turned out to be the release of his newest music video with Nicky Minaj.




The media went into frenzy, the Examiner called it “a brilliant marketing ploy” and now VEVO is waiting for the official numbers to decide if they broke the record for most views in 24 hours.

Justin Bieber really understands the social media and how to make it work for his benefit.
