KOP THAT SH*T 🔥💨 Who expected a 2018 album track to make a resurgence in 2024 via a Netflix show? 🤔 That's exactly what happened in the case of Aystar's 'Kop That Sh*t', a cult Liverpool drill record which was inadvertently launched into the mainstream after a clever placement in EP 2 of Guy Richie’s Netflix hit, The Gentlemen. Off the back of the global success of the show, the track flew to top 5 Shazam positions in major markets globally, driving over 2 million new streams on Spotify alone in the process. 📈 And to further capitalise on the traction we saw, within 2 weeks of seeing the spike, we put out a remix package with big hitters such as Potter Payper, Skrapz, Mist, Jaykae and more, achieving a top 100 UK chart position and over 17K single sales in the first 2 weeks 😮💨 In today's market, anything can cause a track to blow - it's about keeping an eye on all avenues and doing more to build when seeing traction 💥

AITCH - FAMOUS GIRL 📸💁♀️ With the help of Breaking Ads Agency, Ocean Outdoor and Superphone, we turned Aitch’s new music moment into a fully-serviced campaign spanning OOH, social, digital, press and radio 🔥 Highlights included Aitch taking to the billboard outside Arndale in Manchester (dropping his phone number in the process in an attempt to find his perfect woman), and making an appearance on Capital Breakfast to make a plea to potential matches! Overall, the campaign resulted in huge numbers for Aitch - driving over 5K pre-saves and 30,000 calls and text conversations within 48 hours of the billboard going live - driving masses of engagement and conversion in the week leading into the release of ‘Famous Girl’.

The new, glowed-up NQ House 🏠 Very excited to present our newly renovated NQ House - the home for NQ consisting of over 5,000sq ft of creative space, studios, and offices.

A match in heaven 💦🍕 Last month, we kickstarted the partnership with Aitch’s fizzy water brand SYPS and Fireaway Pizza - driving fans of the brand to try the ‘SYPSY Special’ 😮💨 Activations around the collaboration included a meet and greet at Fireaway in Ashton, social content and promotional material in-store for over 150 stores nationwide.
