StorySummer WalkerForever-save fan capture

The setup

Summer Walker's team was heading into a heavily anticipated album with a specific frustration: the pre-save tools they had used before returned thin data. Fans would save the record and vanish. The team wanted names, emails, and locations, and a way to keep those fans connected past one release cycle.

The play

They built the campaign on Symphony pre-saves with two boosts attached. The first was forever save: one click and a fan opts into every future release, not just this one. The second was a follow boost: every fan who pre-saved automatically followed Summer Walker's profile on Spotify.

The pre-save stopped being a one-time transaction and became a permanent connection: fan data in the list, the follow on the profile, and the next release already saved.

The results

42% of fans who pre-saved also opted into forever save, so they will never miss another release. And 100% of fans who pre-saved followed her Spotify profile through the follow boost. The team came away with the data the old tools never returned, attached to fans who stay reachable.
