550,000 followers on Spotify. Lots of marketers get too deep in the weeds with data and forget to have fun like this.
This is so smart.
Human psychology. Friends of ours wanted to give away a perfectly good refrigerator.
They put it out on the pavement with a note that said free. It stayed there for three days, so they changed it to read $40.
It was stolen overnight. Tim Ferriss once asked the famous investor Marc Andreessen what he would put on a billboard.
Marc said, right in the heart of San Francisco would be a billboard with just two words on it raise prices.
Nobody at Spotify thought Spotify Wrapped would work. Managers wanted to cancel it.
Internal marketers didn't want to fund it. Every tech company copies it now, but back in 2013 it was a scrappy side project at Spotify.
It was originally called Year in Music. The group that made it had to beg for resources, hack together brand new data pipelines, and pull all nighters to get the personalization to work.
Really, it was a struggle. It was hard to get funding.
Nobody wanted to work on it. It was a small handful of believers who built it.
When Year in Music finally launched, it was just a small handful of stats. Not the long list you get now.
Just a few personalized stats. Really a few.
But even that was enough to make it explode. Three years later, it was rebranded to Spotify Wrapped.
Now everybody copies it. Apple Music Replay, TikTok Recap, YouTube Music Recap all chasing that same magic.
The format works because people want to know about themselves. If you can tell somebody cool things they didn't know about themselves, you'll be the favorite at any party...
Oh, no, somebody messed up my sign. You know, being in real estate, you have to have a really thick skin and a great sense of humor.
That one's great cause it's that classic where at the bus stop it's always a realtor's face and someone's drawn glasses and colored in the teeth. This is a really good bait and switch cause, you know, she's like, oh, man, someone got my sign again.
And then you get to look at her and she looks like that. Very clever, very smart.
And that video we just watched has 3.9 million views. Insane.
The funny thing about it is I've seen a number of real estate agents make the exact same video. So they'll like go to the bus stop and then they're looking at it, but then they turn to the camera and they have, it's just really clever.
And if you're a real estate agent, you could duplicate this. People would love it.
It's funny. There's no reason that you can't make the same video that someone else made.
Take their great ideas and make your own version of it. It's super smart.
Throwing a beer at my manager and so they can guess what it is. Hang on, I should get a hint, a port of domestic.
I'm not telling you. Come on!
Domestic, blood wiser. I love that video so much.
It hooks you immediately because you know they're on day nine. She says, day nine of throwing a beer at my manager until he can guess what it is.
I also wanna point out one thing about this video, which is super clever. Look at where they are filming this video right in front of Deer Island Golf.
The whole time you're watching it, they're embedding Deer Island Golf into your brain. This is about impressions.
When they get so many impressions for great content like that, they just become top of mind. Oh yeah, we're gonna go golfing.
We should go check out Deer Island Golf. So it's just that awareness building.
That's what these videos can really do for your brand. And let's see how this video did.
That one I just watched has 22 million impressions...

When it was launched, this super long URL, it went from zero to 1 million unique visitors in only six days. If you go to do nothing for two minutes dot com now, it just redirects automatically to calm.
When it was launched, this is what it looked like. If you moved your mouse, the time would reset and there was the sound of calming waves.
You can hear it. The calming waves.
Do nothing for 2 minutes.com was launched on Product Hunt, went viral, LED to calm the founder. He also thought of million dollar homepage to fund his university.
