    CASE STUDY How Marquee reactivated Beach House listeners to build on a viral moment
    CONTEXTIn 2021, Beach House’s ethereal "Space Song" went viral on social media. Suddenly, a new audience of listeners were beginning to discover the critically-acclaimed band—and they liked what they heard.
    GOALWhen it came to releasing their album, "Once Twice Melody," the team behind Beach House at Sub Pop Records used Marquee to build on viral hype. In support of their waterfall release strategy, Marquee reactivated listeners of "Space Song" and invited them to experience the new release.
    PERFORMANCEMarquee helped Beach House to re-engage fans across the world. In Canada, nearly one in four Marquee listeners saved or added a track to a personal playlist. The campaign also created a halo effect for the band’s catalog. In the U.S., 20% of Marquee listeners streamed from older releases.

    HEAR WHAT MARKETERS HAVE TO SAYIona Casta
    “It’s the most effective strategy to actually increase streaming numbers because it’s in-app. It gives fans direct access to actually listen to the music, save it, and come back to it later. Even if I optimize other ads for conversions, it takes several steps for people to stream and save it.—Iona CastaDIRECTOR OF MARKETING, FLIGHTHOUSE MEDIA
    “It’s clear that Marquee not only drives streams at a higher conversion rate and lower cost [per listener] – it helps us foster meaningful, long term connections between fans and our artists. That’s our core mission.—Whitaker ElledgeGM / SVP ARTIST DEVELOPMENT, DUALTONE MUSIC GROUP
    “Marquee is an important tool for artists at every stage of their career to grow their fan base, receive data that helps them understand their listeners, and broaden their scope - all of which are tools our clients have benefited from.—Natalie SellersDIRECTOR ARTIST & LABEL COMMERCE & PARTNERSHIPS, STEM
    “Marquee is about bringing listeners back into the fold. The long-tail effect of Marquee is really what's going to be the measure of success of this tool, not just the streams you get off of a one-week campaign.—Hannah WaittVP of Digital Marketing & Strategy, Virgin Music Group
