With indie roots and no major studio backing, Sound of Freedom launched into a crowded, high-stakes entertainment landscape over a packed July 4th weekend. Traditional celebrity promo was off the table. Paid reach was limited. And major platforms weren’t always cooperative, given the film’s political undertones. We had to cut through the noise and connect emotionally—with zero margin for error. The subject matter was weighty, sensitive, and urgent. The challenge wasn’t just grabbing attention—it was turning that attention into action.

We approached the campaign not like a product launch, but like a cause. That mindset shaped everything—from the tone, to the distribution, to the creator selection. Our goal: rally aligned communities and create content people had to share. We focused on:

Influencer activations with values-aligned creators
Memes and news page placements to drive mass virality
User-generated content (UGC) promotions to build authentic engagement
Dynamic content formats—clips, trailers, reels, shorts
Strategic clipping and broad distribution for maximum reach
Community building around shared values and real-world action
Earned media amplification to generate credibility and scale

We didn’t approach this like a standard campaign. We treated it like a mission. We activated creators who genuinely cared—people who could spark empathy, outrage, and conversation. Content was optimized for shareability, seeded into dark social channels, and positioned to travel fast. Because major platforms didn’t always play nice, we built our own momentum. Through emotional storytelling, smart distribution, and intentional creator partnerships, we made the film feel not just relevant—but essential. Sound of Freedom became one of the most talked-about films of 2023, grossing over $200M globally. But more than that, it became a lightning rod for awareness, activism, and debate. We didn’t just help market Sound of Freedom—we helped it matter. This wasn’t just a win for a film. It was a cultural moment. And we were honored to help build it.
