Campaigns & Pop Music

Joanna Love, assistant professor of music, researches 20th and 21st century music, specifically looking at how American popular music has played a role in advertising. In 2015, she examined how music was used to brand Barack Obama as a "cool celebrity" president.

Simularly in 2016, Love studied the 2016 Presidential election and how popular music was implemented by political strategists and their marketing teams to garner support.
