Like many indie releases, Homestead faced an uphill battle: no blockbuster marketing spend, no IP advantage, and a genre already saturated with post-apocalyptic storytelling. The film had depth and style—but in a sea of content, that wasn’t enough. We had to make Homestead feel like an event, not just another release.
We leaned into creator-led storytelling—activating a wide network of voices who could translate the film’s themes of survival, faith, and community into content people actually cared about.
Our strategy included:
Survivalists and preppers drawing real-life parallels to the film
Faith-based and lifestyle creators speaking to the deeper human themes
Faceless content creators building eerie edits and high-tension reels
Edits, UGC, and commentary content seeded across TikTok, Reels, and X
Clipping and strategic distribution to ride the viral algorithm
An emphasis on conversion—moving from engagement to actual advocacy
This wasn’t a sizzle-reel campaign. It was intimate, thoughtful, and relentless.
Our creators didn’t just post—they translated the story. They brought the film’s emotional weight into real-world conversations, triggering shares, stitches, debates, and buy-in across niche and mainstream channels.The campaign blurred the line between content and commentary. Before Homestead even hit streaming, people were already talking about it like it mattered. And that’s because—to them—it did. This wasn’t just about promotion. It was about pairing the right creators with the right story—and proving that when influence is intentional, it doesn’t just move numbers. It moves people.
