Since 2019, we’ve had the opportunity to partner with the PLAY - Prémios da Música Portuguesa, working to position it as a flagship event in the national music scene and attract a younger audience.

From the very first edition, our role has been to establish a robust digital presence and help build the PLAY brand as a reference in the Portuguese music industry.

Today, the PLAY awards are the most recognized music awards in Portugal, featuring 50 nominees, 14 categories and 14 winners. The event is broadcast live annually on RTP1, reaching an audience of 6.5 million viewers in 2024 alone.

Our Scope

As the digital marketing agency for the PLAY awards, we lead efforts in:

· Digital strategy
· Paid and earned media
· Ideation and production of audiovisual content
· TV advertising spots
· Influencer marketing
· Community engagement and management
· Event support
· Website management

Our Journey

Edition I

2019

The first year was all about establishing PLAY’s presence on various social media platforms and identifying key growth opportunities.

Edition II

2020

We launched the online voting platform for the Vodafone Song of the Year award, activating artist fanbases as key brand advocates.

Edition III

2021

Shifting focus primarily to Instagram, we tailored content to engage PLAY’s young, digital-native audience, achieving a reach of 5 million — a 187% increase from previous years.

Edition IV

2022

Our strategy centered around increasing earned media, with a strong focus on artists, fans, and content creators. This approach resulted in an estimated reach of 50 million.

Edition V

2023

Incorporating more video content and launching a TikTok channel were key objectives. The results were astounding, with 1.5 million views on YouTube and 1 million views on TikTok — all achieved organically.

Edition VI

2024

With six years of partnership under our belt, we designed a data-driven strategy to optimize digital results. The highlight was a combined reach of 60 million (earned, paid, and owned media), with a focus on our primary target audience of 18-34 years.

Results

Over the past six years, PLAY - Prémios da Música Portuguesa has solidified its place as the premier event in Portugal’s music industry, successfully engaging millions of viewers and attracting a younger, digital-savvy audience.

With a consistently evolving strategy, we’ve helped grow the event’s presence on social media and video platforms, particularly on TikTok and YouTube, where organic growth has flourished.

In 2024, the event achieved an estimated 60 million in reach, thanks to our integrated campaigns and the active participation of a vibrant community.

Through continuous collaboration and innovation, we’ve helped PLAY become more than just an event. It’s now a community-driven celebration of Portuguese music, engaging fans and artists alike, and ensuring the event’s ongoing relevance in the digital age.
