Maggie Rogers's WANT WANT Hotline

Written by Subtext | Jul 26, 2022

It started the way so many stories do in 2022: a tweet. A little easter egg among the many posts and promoted content, Maggie Rogers dropped the number of her new hotline. She used pick-up tactics reminiscent of pre-covid life. And it worked.

 

Phone Tree ☎️ 

Maggie Rogers's new WANT WANT hotline gave fans the opportunity to call in and "choose their own adventure".

Fans could:

  • Leave a voicemail
  • Hear Maggie's new single
  • AND...listen to an unreleased single from her new album 🎶

Yes, she gave fans exclusive insider access to a single that hadn't been released yet.
