As social media increasingly becomes a source of clutter, major labels are realizing that less than 8% of an audience may see any given post. Meanwhile 95%+ are guaranteed to open a text message, within the first hour of receiving it. That's why artists like Luke Hemmings, ROSIE, WALK THE MOON, and Travis Thompson are texting fans through Subtext.
Carly Rae Jepsen
Today we’re kicking things off by highlighting the latest artist to grace Subtext with her presence: Carly Rae Jepsen. In honor of the 10-year anniversary of her hit single "Call Me Maybe", she’s saying you can text her too!
She's celebrating with a multi-platform campaign that includes a ton of merch, social content, and a Subtext campaign.
