Marketing: Little Miss Marketing
On February 24, 1986, a diminutive 17-year-old named Kylie Minogue walked on to the set of Ten Network's soap opera Neighbours. Nobody could have guessed what was being unleashed in Australian and international pop culture - nothing less than a marketing genius. Superlatives and cliches abound in the entertainment industry, but when discussing Minogue's career it is hard to avoid words like meteoric and phenomenal.
Estimating the value of the Kylie Minogue brand is virtually impossible, but it is a brand that Minogue has created out of herself. Her marketing acumen is on a par with her singing and performing talents. In a business as fickle as the music industry, success is never guaranteed, and Minogue has re-invented her image several times in two decades.
Much of the credit for Minogue's rapid rise from obscurity goes to the British music producers, Stock, Aitken and Waterman, who signed Minogue to their PWL label shortly after Locomotion was released.
Her decision in 1992 to split with PWL and Stock, Aitken and Waterman surprised most of the music industry, given the success and fame she had achieved under their guidance, but it was to prove a pivotal moment in her career.
In June 2000, Minogue engineered another transformation of her image and musical style. The good girl/bad girl image has been one of the most paradoxical successes for Minogue. Minogue is skilled at deflecting any questions about her plans for the future. She is writing a new album, but whether this will involve another change of image is under wraps. The success of the Love Kylie range, in Britain particularly, will ensure she maintains the relationship with Holeproof for some time. As for how she spends her money, little is known, other than that she has a flat in London and a house in Melbourne. At 35, she has achieved extraordinary success and will doubtless continue to build on it.
