TRENDING THIS WEEK

Taylor Swift audios!

With the release of Taylor’s new album, there are lots of good lines trending that can be fun ways to boost your profile. For example, one lyric that has become a big meme is a line from “So High School”: “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle”. People have been using the sound for all kinds of silly things. It’s got a lot of creative freedom to make it apply to you!

IMMERSIVE AND SENSORIAL MARKETING THROUGHOUT AUSTIN

I’m a singer!

Punk rock cover of “Dreams”

TASTE THE RAINBOW

Do you work late because you’re a singer? So does Sabrina Carpenter! In a new song called “Espresso”, she talks about why she’s always working late. This can easily be applied to artists, or anyone in the industry to show off their cool industry job, and the thing that keeps them up at night.

The fashion at SXSW was so beautiful and diverse, with so many bright colors and fun patterns and fabrics. There was such a range of outfits, it was all unique and individual. Everyone came ready to show their individuality and personality through their clothes!

Spritely has gone viral for showing what “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac would have sounded like if it was produced like “Misery Business” by Paramore. While also promoting her newest song “He’s an Alien!”, the TikTok has over 800k views.

From Audible’s Sound Experience that featured a ferris wheel and carnival vibes in the middle of downtown Austin to Tide’s familiarly scented experience, brands wowed all of festival-goers' senses.
