Execution

Since we wanted to let go of control, we gave the YouTube phenomenon Random Making Movies free hand to create a "Headphone Singing" with music from the Spotify app movie in unexpected situations - libraries, bus stations and shopping malls . The collective was both behind and in front of the camera because they dare to take risksand stand out and make life more fun for all of us.

The film was spread on YouTube via the Random Making Movies own network and then further.

Outcome

The headphone singing film by Random Making Movies spread like wildfire and has received over 160,000 views on YouTube, and is still increasing. With social mentions, viral spread of different versions of the film, trueviews on YouTube, Facebook and VideofyMe, we reached about one million young people, which represents 70% percent of the target audience.

Today more than 40% of the target group now know about Spotify's free mobile version. And according Spotify about 200,000 people has downloaded tha app - a number that continues to increase.
