Interscope Records Debuts Facebook Campaign For Haley Reinhart's Return To American Idol Stage
New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ BigMouth PR) Interscope Records, a division of Universal Music Group, is kicking off a partnership with social commerce startup, Moontoast, by launching a Facebook campaign for American Idol Season 10 finalist Haley Reinhart's return to the Idol stage this Thursday, March 22nd where she will perform her single "Free." Reinhart's debut album Listen Up! will be released May 22nd and will be available for pre-order on Facebook using Moontoast's Social Store at www.facebook.com/HaleyReinhart before, during, and after the Idol performance, enabling fans to purchase directly from within the social network, and share the offer with friends.

"Universal is a world class company that understands the importance of the social revolution that increasingly connects their artists directly to their fans"

This campaign represents Universal Music Group's increased focus on direct-to-consumer offers, and social commerce in particular, where Moontoast is an industry leader. Moontoast's patent-pending Social Analytics Suite will gather data to tell a more complete story of the campaign, beyond transactions, to help digital teams understand what messaging fans react to and how to craft future special offers in the social space.

"Universal is a world class company that understands the importance of the social revolution that increasingly connects their artists directly to their fans," said Moontoast CEO Blair Heavey. "Partnering with Moontoast's Social Activation Engine allows these artists to acquire new fans, engage and interact with existing fans and drive results from those interactions."

"At Interscope we are always searching out innovative ways to make the consumer experience of purchasing content simple and efficient. Moontoast offers an excellent social commerce solution which allows the artist, in this case Haley, to go directly to where the fans are engaged online," said Gary Kelly, Head of Sales for Interscope.

Noting the direct to consumer marketplace is evolving at a rapid pace, Randy Malinoff, VP D2C eCommerce at Universal Music Distribution said, "As consumers are shopping for their favorite artist merchandise on Facebook, we are pursuing the delivery of engaging eCommerce technology products like Moontoast, backed by campaigns that connect our products to the fans."

Moontoast was named the #2 music startup of 2011 by Billboard Magazine and has powered previous pre-orders for Universal, including Vince Gill's recent release, Guitar Slinger.
