It happened again, guys! 🙈

Brooke and Amy showed up in matching leopard print—AGAIN! We’re starting to think we should just make it our uniform🐆

Let's talk Eras Tour... ✨

Taylor Swift and The Eras Tour are the talk of the town, and Account Manager, Brooke, got to experience it firsthand in Poland! 🇵🇱

Last week, Taylor Swift made her first-ever appearance in Poland and sold out three shows, each with 65,000 attendees.

The entire city was buzzing with 'Swiftie' fever, playing her music all weekend, and even offering Taylor Swift-inspired menus and cardboard cutouts in restaurants. (Swipe for the evidence 😆)

Her influence is undeniable! Inspired by Taylor Swift's marketing magic, here are three key takeaways on creating buzz and engagement around events:

💗Create a buzz- Just like Taylor’s team, build anticipation with teaser posts, countdowns, and exciting announcements. Use eye-catching visuals and fun copy to get people excited.

💗Create an experience- Taylor's fans don’t just go to her concerts to see her perform; they go for the entire experience – dressing up, trading bracelets, and immersing themselves in the Swiftie culture.

💗Create a unique hashtag- Encourage everyone to use your unique hashtag when sharing content related to the event.

Take a page from her book and bring the same excitement and energy to your next campaign!
