Spotify: CMA Fest

CMA Fest

After a quarantine-long break from their official partnership with CMA Fest, Spotify and Hot Country brought back their fan-favorite Spotify House to the summer festival in Nashville, hosting four days of free performances by today’s biggest and brightest country stars.

Objective

Inspired by the timely influx of trending POV-style videos capturing events, experiences and other recommendations from social-first users, we pushed the Spotify team to think outside of the traditional PR-style sizzle reel box and consider what video content could look like if it felt more inclusive, rather than unattainable; more “You HAVE to come next year,” and less “Don’t you wish you were here now?”

Strategy

Through a series of daily videos that incorporated the fan experience as much as it did the artists and performances, plus real-time Stories content, custom video studio Reels collabs posted between artists and the brand, and surprise guest teasers and reveals on our Instagram page each day, we engaged fans on the ground and at home, bringing the IRL experience to fans across the country.

Results

1.24 Million+ owned content views, 600% increase in engagement, and 98% “cool” earned sentiment
