[1] The new Sony BMG imprint label, which was spearheaded by former Executive Vice President Joe DiMuro, later ran by J.J. Rosen, previously an executive in Sony BMG's Digital Business Group, was set to sign multi-platinum artists and release new titles in conjunction with marketing campaigns that promoted the artists through traditional and non-traditional channels.

[2] Burgundy Records was set to sign additional artists who have retained strong consumer affinity and produced a catalog of music that is still relevant and appreciated today.

The label's primary target audience was adult consumers who are fans of the artists' earlier work and are eager to hear new material.

In tandem with this outreach to a loyal consumer base, the label also brought widespread exposure for these artists and their new music to a contemporary audience.

By operating like an agency, the Group analyzed artists from different angles and promoted them through a variety of channels, such as licensing, strategic partnerships, mobile applications, DRTV, tour marketing and publicity.
