In this case, it can be a digipack (print media), with either a website(digital media), OR magazine advert(print media) which are supporting and promoting the music video.

In summary; they are cross -promotional texts in different media forms that link to promote the same thing. These can include the same fonts, colours, the artist logo, etc...

It is to convince the target audience to consume the product, and it may announce upcoming gigs; again further development of promoting the artist.
Magazine adverts usually have 
  • release dates, 
  • where to buy/stream, 
  • the artist logo/album cover
  • social media
  • gig dates
  • reviews
  • and what type of media the music will be available on i.e. Vinyl, CD, etc...

It engages, attracts and informs the audience as well as promoting the artist.

I expect them to have;
  • promotional images / graphics / videos
  • the artists logo, band cover, etc...
  • latests news
  • latest gigs
  • social media links
  • links to the online shop, music, videos, etc...
  • reviews of the album
  • where to buy
  • record label
The website should have a colour scheme, which runs as a visual synergist link throughout all the promotional work
