The Challenge

AwesomenessTV needed to launch Expelled (starring Cameron Dallas) as a primarily digital release and achieve immediate chart dominance on iTunes. With limited theatrical support, success depended entirely on digital discovery, algorithmic ranking, and sustained engagement after the initial surge.

The campaign required rapid content creation, precise timing, and multi-channel amplification targeted at a young, social-first audience.

The Solution

Intensify Digital applied its Frequency Marketing playbook optimized for digital-native titles. IntensifySocial served as the gatekeeper for content creation (powered by proprietary tools), scheduling, and pod amplification. IntensifyVideo handled synchronized multi-channel distribution so the same assets appeared consistently wherever the audience was watching.

Core Approach

Evergreen and social assets were sequenced to build Digital Presence Factor quickly. Timed pod releases and multi-channel feeds turned social momentum into measurable iTunes ranking and long-tail downloads.
