The challenge

Why it mattered

Film songs are often the first thing audiences fall for, but a new single competes with hundreds of others released the same week. The team wanted the song on people's phones, not just on streaming charts.

Our solution

What we built

We seeded the song through dance and lip-sync creators with a simple hook step, pushed lyric edits through reel pages, and let meme pages play with the most quotable lines. As the audio picked up, we fed it back into the film's own handles.

Key outcome“Made the single an audio people chose to use, giving the film early recognition well before the trailer.”
