Spotify Wrapped for Creators, Behind the Scenes

Hi there,

Spotify Wrapped is one of those “shared cultural experiences” that we still have left – something that brings us together around our love for music. As life (and marketing) gets more and more fragmented, it's one time in the year when we can come together to compare notes, songs, podcasts, hours listened – and even our listening age. Other companies have tried to replicate Spotify’s Wrapped, but no one has come close; they created “appointment marketing” with no buy-in, just fanfare and data – absolutely brilliant.

But when something becomes a pop-culture phenomenon like Spotify’s Wrapped, you know there’s a hardworking team behind the scenes carrying the weight of it. And while everyone at the Wrapped for Creators event was taking photos with the creators, I wanted to spotlight the stars — the ones making it all happen.

This team executed a major celebration with a special performance by Zara Larsson, hundreds of creators, immersive stations, and photo opps — but what caught my attention the most was that they are building a strong community among creators, and that was exciting to see.

Hope you enjoy,
Tracey Raftery

Spotify Wrapped for Creators, Behind the Scenes

Note From Nina Yiamsamatha | Head of Creator Marketing, Podcasts at Spotify

“Wrapped for Creators is always one of the most energizing moments of the year, and this celebration truly captured what makes creators’ experiences on Spotify so special. Nearly 400 creators, partners, and industry leaders came together for a night that blended inspiration, creativity, and pure joy, all anchored in the stories and moments they shaped in 2025. Our teams worked closely across marketing, partnerships, and production to build an experience that felt immersive and creator-first from the moment doors opened.

I especially loved hearing from creators who gushed about their Wrapped insights, their dedicated fans, and the breakthrough success they saw with video on Spotify this year. We’re proud the event brought the heart of Wrapped to life: celebrating the people driving culture forward and giving them a space to connect, reflect, and have some fun along the way. Here's a peek behind the curtain at the teams who made the night feel so special for our creators!”

Morning!

This whole Netflix x WBD x Paramount merger-takeover debacle is so nuanced, so I’ll leave it to the experts to dissect. But from a marketing perspective, I think the industry created so much content that it diluted it’s own marketing power. And if you think about it, the marketing flywheel is the engine of the entire industry - generating the cultural lift that every project depends on. More and more content, meant press coverage got competitive, marketing budgets wore thin, and it became harder and harder to drive people to theaters or tune-in. And while we were occupied with a “streaming war,” attention was splintering further online. I don’t know the best antidote, but maybe coming back together will be a positive. Maybe this type of marketing consolidation will help create those “shared cultural experiences” those pop-culture rocket ships around entertainment again. Which would be a huge driver of jobs.

Here’s to hoping,

Every time you watch or read an interview about DWTS on TikTok or The New York Times, People Magazine or Call Her Daddy, these are the stars behind-the-scenes making it all happen.

Dancing with the Stars, PR Stars

Note From the ABC PR Team:

DANCING WITH THE STARS (SEASON 34, 20TH ANNIVERSARY)
As Dancing with the Stars celebrated its milestone 20th anniversary and 34th season, the PR team delivered its most successful campaign yet, setting a new standard for press and audience engagement. The season was filled with high-profile cover stories and interviews, behind-the-scenes exclusives and star-studded appearances that kept DWTS at the center of media attention (and the cultural zeitgeist).

With extensive coverage across top tier outlets, more than 5,000 headlines generated and ratings and voting records exceeded week after week, our strategy was about striking the perfect balance between the series’ long-standing legacy and new, exciting ways to connect with an even larger audience.

While talent participated in traditional talk show appearances throughout the season, such as Good Morning America, The Jennifer Hudson Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show and more, we also expanded our reach by targeting digital-first platforms. Stars like Witney Leavitt, Jennifer Affleck, Dylan Efron and Alix Earle connected with younger, social-savvy audiences through non-traditional media outlets, including Call Her Daddy, Chicks in the Office, Off the Vine, The Viall Files and Pod Meets World. We worked with Buzzfeed for Robert Irwin’s adorable puppy interview, and provided USA Today with an exclusive in-depth profile, where a reporter trained with pro Brandon Armstrong and took to the ballroom for a firsthand dance experience.

Notable features over recent months included: a special-edition issue of TV Guide Magazine, dedicated entirely to the show and featuring a gorgeous cover with our judges and hosts; a cover on Us Weekly featuring sibling duo Derek and Julianne Hough; a digital cover with Essence highlighting Jordan Chiles; and both Robert Irwin’s cover of People Magazine and front page story of The New York Times Style section.

Every week, the team hosted 15–20 press outlets on the ballroom floor for our post-show press line. Reporters had the opportunity to get intimate access with our talent following each episode to highlight the evening and tease the upcoming week ahead. There was truly no shortage of press interest, and we strategically rotated outlets throughout the season to maximize coverage and highlight key theme nights.

It also wasn’t just about the new stars this season — the anniversary celebrated the show’s rich history. For the special “20th Birthday Party” episode, we shifted our press strategy to spotlight not just the current cast, but the alumni who helped define the show over the years, starting with the announcement of former host Tom Bergeron returning as a guest judge. The press line featured over 75 returning alumni, generating an additional wave of coverage beyond the standard weekly interviews.

We also partnered with Deadline for exclusive on-camera interviews with key below-the-line talent, many of whom have been part of the show since its earliest seasons, to offer fans a behind-the-scenes look at how DWTS has evolved while staying relevant in today’s ever-changing entertainment landscape.

For our PR team, this season was personal. DWTS has always been a favorite, and this milestone gave us the chance to share that enthusiasm with a wider audience. By spotlighting breakout stars like Robert Irwin, beloved alumni and the magic behind the scenes, we showcased the passion and joy that keeps viewers (and us!) coming back for more. We couldn’t be prouder to be part of its legacy.

Interview Hub — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 19:00:09 +0000

Hi there!

While everyone spends time obsessing over what major media players are doing and who their merging with, there are brilliant next gen media empires being built before our eyes.

And Assistants vs Agents is the perfect example of that.

What Warner Bailey started as a meme account, has now grown into a community of 230,000+ young executives. He’s building what I can only describe as Masterclass meets a social network, for the next generation of Hollywood and creator execs. He provides them weekly job updates, inspiring interviews, hosting IRL events and getting creative with brands who want to reach them.

We chatted about his company, interview opportunities and who best to pitch for:
🎯 AVA Connection Newsletter
🎯 Call Log Podcast
🎯 AVA IRL Events

Q&A

ASSISTANTS VS AGENTS
FOUNDER WARNER BAILEY

Interview: Warner Bailey
Company: Assistants vs Agents

Can you tell me about what you're building with Assistants vs Agents and your vision for it?

Warner Bailey:

So it started as a meme page—as great things do. I was an assistant at WME, loved my job, loved my boss. But it was a creative outlet for me. It has evolved since and about six months ago, I went full time on it.

Two years ago, I started writing a newsletter as a way to capture an audience in a more direct way and collect emails. That really started to take off with a younger cohort looking for a voice and guidance on how to break into entertainment. I think we exist in a very fractured, fragmented system right now where legacy companies are losing some grasp to upstart young companies, especially in the agency world. The timeliness of when I started writing that newsletter allowed for the scale.

We have a super engaged audience which includes college students and early career Entertainment professionals. When I sat down two years ago and built a business plan, I said I want to go full time on this. I see the value and the impact it had on people. So many people came out to our AVA IRL events and say, "Thank you for what you do." People feel like they're being heard.

What are the different products you're building?

Warner Bailey: What I'm doing now is really doubling down on the educational side. We moved the newsletter from once a week to three times a week. We launched a stand-alone job board. I'm raising right now to build a tech platform that solves key issues that young people in Entertainment are facing. We see it as the new age operating system for Entertainment professionals.

On the educational side, we're expanding with virtual summits and bringing our panel and event series around the country and internationally—London, Toronto, Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, all the hubs of entertainment. We just soft launched the Call Log podcast and signed with UTA to help scale that.

On the entertainment side, we're showcasing the absurdity of Hollywood through different pieces of IP—editorial, short form series on social (both scripted and unscripted), some animated stuff, a magazine (which I'm really excited about), and launching the AVA Awards show in person in LA. We did a digital-only run last year and people loved it.

So you're building a multifaceted media company?

Warner Bailey: Exactly. A new age media company that services young entertainment professionals, but we're also broadening scope to general entertainment through projects like podcasts. We're hyper-focused on the niche we've created, which is about 230,000 extremely active and engaged young people who work in entertainment or want to work in entertainment.

Can you break down the AVA Connection newsletter? Who's the audience and what guests are you looking for?

Warner Bailey: The newsletter is called the AVA Connection. We've been lucky enough to sit down with the head of editorial at Spotify, Selena Ong, Blair Kohan (she's on my team over at UTA now), Seth Dudowsky Head of Music at the NFL, and a whole list of people I find really inspiring.

Two years ago, I made a promise to myself to reach out to one person I admire every week. That's actually how the newsletter started—I was having amazing conversations with extremely inspiring people, but they were just on a call. I wanted to share this with my community. So I started recording them and writing them up as print-only interviews.

Warner Bailey: The conversations are really focused on career development, highlighting unique journeys and paths through entertainment. We're showcasing to our community that there are many ways to break in, many ways to be successful, and many ways to be non-traditional. It's not just going to the mailroom and staying there for 40 years. It's about pivots, overcoming obstacles, and dealing with challenges.

Upcoming Interviews Include:

Sean Atkins — CEO @ Dhar Mann Studios
Gabrielle Bird-Vogel — Partner @ Klossy
Melinda Petrow — SVP @ Mythical
Matthew Belloni — Founding Partner @ Puck

What about the Call Log podcast? What kind of guests are you booking for that?

Warner Bailey: The podcast side, we're sitting down with large talent and someone from their team—an agent, a publicist, a manager, an assistant. We have an exciting list. I can't share names publicly, but think household A-list celebrities and someone from their team.

Why pair talent with their team members?

Warner Bailey: We've been able to capture the business side of the industry through our newsletter and panels, but the talent/rep relationship is such an interesting and unique area we are exploring now. The key is to find pairings that cross into the humor lane with also a more serious inspiring story side as well. We are always trying to provide advice for the next generation through all of the interviews we do.

Can you talk about the in-person events and how brands are involved?

Warner Bailey: Brands have been a key aspect of growth for the account. We've done partnerships with Netflix, Amazon, Paramount, RCA, Warner Bros, Prime Video, Meta, Apple TV, HBO Max. They've identified this young, impressionable, highly valuable cohort as people they want to get in front of.

We've done screenings with major studios, took over the Red Bull structure at Coachella for a happy hour, and program panels around the country. The through line of all those partnerships are creative ways to get in front of an audience that is sold things constantly, so it has to be really creative in the way we're activating.

Upcoming, we're hosting an AvA Award Show on January 22 with a surprise co-host and presenters.

Can you give an example of a successful brand activation?

Warner Bailey: Netflix is a great example with "A Family Affair" and Joey King. Netflix and I curated a list of about 400 assistants in Hollywood and brought them to Netflix campus. I surprised everyone by bringing out Joey King. We did a quick Q&A, they got to screen the movie and stay for a reception. Those have been the most successful events.

What kind of brands are you looking to partner with for the panel events?

Warner Bailey: On the panel side, we've worked with 10-plus brands who have sponsored on the alcohol, non-alcohol, drink, food side, and tech companies wanting to activate. Because it is such a hyper-targeted but highly valuable cohort, the brands have allowed us to scale in a big way and reach a much larger audience quickly.

Each panel is a little different in terms of programming. Our NYC event was highlighting unique careers and inspired careers in entertainment. One panel focused on people who have pivoted or started their own companies. We had Ziad Ahmed, head of Gen Z at UTA, Forbes 30 under 30. We had Jennifer Blakeman, chief revenue officer at Seeker—she used to tour with Eddie Van Halen and Billy Idol, then went into exec positions at Atlantic Records and Universal. We try to showcase a variety of inspiring stories for those panel events. Shorefire and other PR companies have been really helpful in connecting us with panelists.

So you now have three distinct products for different types of guests?

Warner Bailey: Exactly. The really interesting thing is we've developed three unique products that can work for different people. If you're on the business inspiring side, there's the newsletter. If you have someone with maybe a larger audience—like Adam Faze who launched Keep the Meter Running and TikTok shows—they're great for panels because they can chat about that. If you have a celebrity or someone who runs their own studio as an actor, they'd be perfect for the podcast. So now we have something for everyone.

Have you seen any success stories from sharing someone's story in the newsletter?

Warner Bailey: One of my favorite stories—there was a WME assistant who actually hid from his boss that he was training for the Olympics while working at WME. He made the US fencing team, and we showcased his story. That was probably one of the most popular ones because the assistant community loved that someone was training for the Olympics while being an assistant.

There've been tons of people who've reached out saying they've gotten jobs from the newsletter. Adam Faze actually shouted out at our NY event he said, "Take your phones out. If you're looking for a job as an assistant, I'm looking for an assistant."

There's plenty of stories where people have reached out and said they've been really inspired by an interview in the newsletter, reached out to that person, and ended up connecting with them or doing a project with them. Everyone knows each other in such a tight-knit community. This isn't Morning Brew or 1440 reaching a massive audience—it's hyper curated industry people. So there have been many connections made.

How should publicists reach out to you? What's the best way to pitch you or get their clients in front of your audience?

Warner Bailey: For contact, publicists can reach out to me and my team at UTA for podcast bookings, newsletter features and event partnerships.

One thing I want to include is that I send out all questions prior. Anything we're publishing in the newsletter, as well as any questions we ask at panels and interviews, are all approved prior. That's really why I think I've gotten a lot of the people I've been able to get, especially early on—people feel like they can share their story in their own words. My goal is to give people a fair shake at telling their own story. That's a very important aspect of what I'm trying to do, how I'm trying to scale it, and the types of people I'm trying to get.

Morning!

Read a great piece from Kelly Wearstler about sentimental objects in design.

If you work in PR or media, you might not think of yourself as a designer, but I think sentimentality translates into what we do—through interviews, campaigns, content and beyond.

Next time you’re pitching, writing or crafting a strategy, think about the sentimental objects you’re layering in—the human details that make things feel more real, and, like Kelly says, give it an edge.

Perfectly Imperfect Q&A

Interview Hub — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 17:30:09 +0000

Hi there!

A few weeks ago Taylor Lorenz interviewed New Yorker journalist Kyle Chayka about how "nobody wants to post anymore." They reminisced about the old days of the internet, casually posting with friends, and how that's been replaced by slick influencers and algorithms. If that's the problem, then Perfectly Imperfect is the perfect solution. The newsletter turned social magazine, was born in 2020 to champion human curation over algorithmic feeds. With “A Taste of Taste” profiles ranging from Charli XCX to Paul Schrader to The Rizzler, PI has built a devoted community of young creatives who are looking for real recs and what's next.

The New York Times said this is “what the cool kids are super into” so if you want to pitch your client to Perfectly Imperfect's Tyler Bainbridge, this is a must-read.

Q&A

Perfectly Imperfect with Tyler Bainbridge

First off, congratulations on five years! I love the idea of a social magazine and that you describe PI as "A Taste of Someone's Taste." How did that concept come about?

Tyler: It was peak COVID Summer, and I was growing frustrated with algorithms starting to define everyone's tastes (mine included) and this feeling was only exacerbated by being cooped up at home during the pandemic.

The idea was a newsletter that championed human curation, and I'd had the name "Perfectly Imperfect" written down in my notes app for years. I've always enjoyed art that's rough around the edges, full of texture, and ambitious. Like The Microphone's 2001 album, The Glow Pt2, or Vincent Gallo's Buffalo 66. My favorite things are Perfectly Imperfect.

We described our simple format as "A Taste of Someone's Taste" and started interviewing friends while occasionally sharing some recs ourselves. It was different than most recommendation resources in that we didn't restrict people to just products or just media. People shared life tips, inside jokes, their favorite place to take a walk, etc. It was more of a character portrait than a purely practical list.

That's basically how Perfectly Imperfect was born. Neither of us had any experience in the editorial world, zero design skills, and no industry connections to the people we wanted to feature. It was (and still is) a very scrappy lo-fi operation.

In the early days of PI, how did you start getting submissions?

Tyler: Thousands of cold emails and DMs. Lots and lots of "no"s are first, but slowly but surely we got more "yes"s, eventually building up enough credibility for publicists to pitch us talent. We probably get 500-1000 pitches a month these days, but our talent curation is among the best in the biz, so we have to turn down a lot of people.

We've seen recs from Charli XCX and Lorde - how did those come about?

Tyler: This was one of the most surreal moments of my life. We had just thrown this huge two year anniversary party (where The Dares performed "Girls" to a packed room for the first time) and it was covered in the NYTimes. The next day I woke up to a DM from Charli with a simple "👋" and the rest is history.

Tell us a bit about your audience.

Tyler: Young creative people interested in "what's next." They're hungry for discovery, love to party, and have amazing taste. Our audience is worldwide - we just hosted 50+ meet-ups across the globe last weekend with amazing turnouts - and primarily ages 18 to 35.

What people, recommendations, and events have resonated the most with your audience?

Tyler: We just threw a huge show for NYFW with one of the hottest up-and-coming rappers from the UK (Fakemink) and it was a huge hit. He's explosive right now and with cosigns from Frank Ocean, Drake, Timothee Chalemet, and Clairo, he's destined for the big leagues.

The recommendations that do the best on our social site or newsletter tend to be very relatable "lifestyle" recs, or deep cut films/albums/etc recs that are written with love.

People lost their mind when we featured The Rizzler on our newsletter. It was the same week as legendary filmmaker Paul Schrader - that's the PI way.

For publicists, what talent opportunities are there via PI?

Tyler: You can find our 2025 Press Kit here, but we're always expanding into new verticals and places for talent to integrate. We're most interested in culture-defining personalities, whether it's bottom-up from the underground or top-down from today's biggest celebrities / generational legends.

Tyler: Our premiere format is "A Taste of Taste" where talent writes 5 recommendations (1-2 sentences each) and sends us a selfie. It's all done over email and super simple. We also just started a new video format "Taste Test" where we ask talent questions from our social site PI.FYI with 80,000 users.

For publicists, what makes a good pitch to you? What gets you excited vs. what gets deleted?

Tyler: I love to see what makes this moment compelling for them - why now?

Tell me about your in-person events and meet-ups. And do you ever partner with brands for those?

Tyler: Yes, definitely. We just partnered with Hinge on a bowling tournament in NYC and Grailed sponsored our Fakemink NYFW show. Always happy to work with brands to make the event the best it can be.

In general, if someone wants to get featured or collaborate with PI, what should they know?

Tyler: We're very selective and can only run 3ish interviews a week, so naturally things fill up quickly. We're generally booked 2 months out, so the earlier the better for us.

What are your thoughts on the current media landscape?

Tyler: It's exciting, there are a lot of smaller magazines, newsletters, and podcasts, that are gaining traction on Instagram. It's great to see new voices entering the space, and with success!

iHeart Music Festival Behind-the-Scenes

Hi there,

If you work in entertainment, you've probably watched a red carpet or two; but instead of focusing on the celebrities, get more excited seeing your friends working behind-the-scenes!?

Well, that was the idea behind this new photo-driven issue. I know how much work goes into these massive events, and I wanted to shine a light on the real rockstars.

The iHeart team shared an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at their team at the music festival in Vegas. It's heartwarming to see them working and having fun, and that's the energy I always want to bring to your inbox.

I'd love to share more of these, so reach out if you have an upcoming event.

iHeartRadio Music Festival

Note from Peyton Webb (Communications at iHeart)

The 15th annual iHeartRadio Music Festival took place at T-Mobile Arena on Sept. 19 and 20, featuring epic performances over two days from Bailey Zimmerman, BigXthaPlug, Bryan Adams, Diplo, Ed Sheeran, GloRilla, Jelly Roll, John Fogerty, Justice, LL COOL J, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Sammy Hagar, Tate McRae, The Offspring, and Tim McGraw.

Press coordination began in June with the performance lineup announcement, followed by planning around the backstage layout, technical requirements and executing the credentialing process. We worked closely with artist teams to coordinate on-site press activations with performing talent, as well as presenters, attending celebrities, and influencers. Additionally, we collaborated on messaging and integration with all partners and sponsors, including our streaming and broadcast partners.
During the event weekend, the red carpet and press area operated in tandem with the show, allowing many artists to walk the carpet ahead of their stage time. This year’s press activations included dedicated broadcast positions for outlets such as Entertainment Tonight and E!, as well as photo, broadcast, and digital red carpet for all other press. We also hosted a portrait studio where artists captured bold, edgy, and playful photos, which were provided to E! Online. Additionally, we arranged for a Billboard photographer to capture behind-the-scenes moments backstage, which were featured in an exclusive post-show gallery.
Inside the arena, press photographers shot from the soundboard area, and select media were provided tickets to attend and review the show. We wrapped up the weekend with the distribution of an EPK and a post-event highlights tip sheet, including photo links, which was shared with press to support extended coverage.
