Doechii’s Pre-Album Marketing Strategy for Alligator Bites Never Heal 🐊

🐊 Swamp Sessions: A Unique Storytelling Series

To kick off the campaign, Doechii created the Swamp Sessions—a series of weekly music videos teasing her album’s sound and storyline in the weeks leading up to its release.

• 📈 Leveraging Social Platforms: Instead of sticking to only YouTube, Doechii posted the full Swamp Sessions videos directly to Instagram and X, tapping into her 2.1M followers and maximizing reach on a platform where engagement is key.

• 🔄 Consistency: By pacing her releases, Doechii built anticipation each week. The steady stream of new music and captivating visuals left fans intrigued, creating a buzz around the album’s theme and storyline.

• 🤳 User-Generated Content: Doechii tapped into her massive TikTok following (2.4M and counting!) by responding to fan-created content featuring her tracks. This two-way interaction helped grow the excitement, as fans felt like active participants in the journey.

• 🎵Song Teasing: Doechii released two album tracks—Bullfrog and Catfish—as part of the Swamp Sessions, keeping the rest as bonus material and setting up the stage for the release of the album’s lead single, Nissan Altima. This kept fans eagerly awaiting the official drop on streaming platforms.

• 🔥 Breakout Moment: Nissan Altima Goes Viral
  After leveraging the momentum that the Swamp Sessions were producing, Doechii strategically chose to release the music video for Nissan Altima in the middle of her campaign, which quickly went viral, hitting #20 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Building on Brilliance with SymphonyOS 🧱

While Doechii’s strategy was impressive, integrating SymphonyOS’s Forever Save feature could have made it even more powerful. Here’s how:

• 🔒 Build Superfans with Forever Saves: By using SymphonyOS’s Forever Save feature, Doechii could have encouraged fans to opt in for automatic saves of future tracks while collecting valuable fan data like names, emails, and locations. This would not only drive early streaming numbers but also allow her to build direct, personalized connections with her audience, ensuring long-term engagement.

• 📊Data-Driven Marketing: With SymphonyOS’s data analytics, Doechii’s team could have gained deeper insights into fan behavior, allowing for more targeted and personalized marketing strategies. This could have further optimized each release and kept the momentum going.

Proof Hard Work Pays Off 🍾

Doechii’s hard work didn’t just stop at a viral moment. Her relentless dedication to her craft has led to major milestones—Grammy nominations, a Tiny Desk performance, a sold-out tour, an appearance on The Late Show, to name just a few. It’s proof that strategic marketing combined with undeniable talent can open doors to the kind of success every artist dreams of.
