Inside Chappell Roan’s Wildly Creative Marketing for The Giver  🦷⚖️🪠

Chappell Roan is proving that a creative and authentic marketing strategy can generate as much excitement and buzz as the music itself. For the release of her upcoming single The Giver, Roan took a unique approach that not only teases her fans with playful mystery but also showcases her distinct personality. Here's a breakdown of how Chappell is using her persona and fan engagement to make The Giver one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

The Build Up 👀📈

  • Interactive Engagement 📞✨: Chappell Roan kicked off her campaign by directing fans to call a number—“620-HOT-TO-GO”—where they can choose from playful options like booking a dentist appointment, reaching an attorney, or reporting a plumbing issue. This unexpected interaction creates excitement and invites fans into her world in a fun, personal way.

  • Multiple Personas 👩‍⚖️🧑‍🔧: Chappell embraces three personas—“the lawyer”, “the dentist” and “the plumber”. These quirky characters add layers to her identity, keeping fans engaged and building anticipation with every reveal. By turning her release into an evolving story, Roan creates a sense of participation, making fans feel like they’re part of the journey and adding excitement to each new persona reveal.

  • Exclusive Pre-Orders 🎁🗓️: Chappell Roan tied the lawyer and plumber persona to a limited edition vinyl, which sold out immediately, creating urgency and exclusivity around The Giver. This tactic builds excitement and makes fans feel like they’re part of something special, ensuring they remain invested in the full release.

  • Viral, Shareable Content 🌍💬: Chappell’s strategy is designed for maximum social shareability. From the unexpected phone number campaign to her playful personas of “the lawyer”, “the plumber”, and “the dentist” everything is crafted to go viral. Fans are encouraged to engage with these characters and share their thoughts, helping to amplify her reach.

Building on Brilliance with SymphonyOS🧱

While Chappell Roan’s campaign has built anticipation, integrating Symphony into her marketing flow would have streamlined her process and elevated her campaign. Here’s how:

  • ⭐️ Forever Saves & Superfan Insights: Chappell Roan could take her interactive phone line a step further by setting up a text message opt-in as well. She could use the text opt-in to send fans a personalized link via text. By directing fans to a custom Symphony-powered pre-save page, she could track engagement, collect fan data (names, emails, locations), and create an experience that fully reflects The Giver’s playful branding—unlike a standard pre-save link. This could be used to keep fans engaged leading up to release day.

  • 📈 Data-Driven Activations: With Symphony’s insights, Chappell could identify her most engaged cities and respond in real time, she could drop surprise pop-ups tied to her personas. By combining her creative marketing with Symphony’s smart tracking, she wouldn’t just generate hype—she’d turn it into real-world moments that deepen her fan connection.
