About the campaign

Prime Video needed to launch Perfect Addiction, a romance drama adapted from a Wattpad novel, to a young social-first audience in a crowded streaming release schedule, and it wanted active community engagement rather than passive awareness. Young audiences discover entertainment through creators and communities they trust, while trailer-led promotion reads as advertising and is easy to scroll past, and despite the book's existing fanbase the film had no theatrical moment to concentrate attention.

Seed Marketing turned the release into a live cultural moment: an immersive fight night in a London boxing gym styled as an underground fight club, combining a live recording of The Girls Bathroom podcast with a film screening. Tickets could only be won through an Instagram competition on Prime Video's own channels, and the night was livestreamed on TikTok, with event footage cut into multi-platform video. The Girls Bathroom fronted the event and brought an audience that already overlapped with the novel's readership.

Making access scarce converted passive interest into action: fans who had to apply to win tickets entered, engaged and followed, and borrowed trust meant the event largely promoted itself, while routing entry through Prime Video's Instagram left measurable growth on an owned channel. Seed reports over 7,000 competition applications, 20.5K engagements, a sold-out event and over 4K new Instagram followers. All figures are agency or client reported and republished by the Vendry directory, no source connects the activation to film viewership, and the event date and media spend are undisclosed.

Case in 60 seconds

Prime Video needed to launch Perfect Addiction, a romance drama adapted from a Wattpad novel, to a young social-first audience in a crowded streaming release schedule, and wanted active community engagement rather than passive awareness.

The film's Gen-Z audience is reached through voices it already trusts, such as The Girls Bathroom podcast, not through ads.

Turn the release into a live cultural moment: an immersive fight night event hosted with The Girls Bathroom, with tickets won only through a social competition.

A London boxing gym became an underground fight night combining a live podcast recording and a film screening, supported by an Instagram ticket competition and livestreamed on TikTok, with event content cut into multi-platform video.

The competition drew over 7,000 applications and 20.5K engagements, the event sold out, and Prime Video's Instagram gained over 4K followers, per agency and client reported figures.

Gen-Z, social-first viewers of romance content, in particular the young audience of The Girls Bathroom podcast, which overlapped with the readership of the Wattpad novel the film adapts.
Young audiences discover entertainment through creators and communities they trust, while traditional trailer-led promotion reads as advertising and is easy to scroll past.
Streaming originals arrive in a crowded release schedule and, despite the book's existing fanbase, the film had no theatrical moment to concentrate attention around its launch.
Prime Video acted as the host of a real-world fan experience, bringing the world of the film to life rather than only distributing it.
Making access scarce converts passive interest into action: fans who must apply to win tickets will enter, engage and follow, leaving measurable growth on owned channels after the event ends.

Why Seed Marketing's strategy worked

  1. 1

    Scarcity converted interest into action: making tickets winnable rather than buyable turned launch curiosity into over 7,000 applications.

  2. 2

    Borrowed trust beat cold reach: The Girls Bathroom brought an audience that already matched the film's readership, so the event promoted itself.

  3. 3

    One night was multiplied across formats: a single event produced a sold-out room, a TikTok livestream and a library of multi-platform video.

  4. 4

    Entry mechanics grew owned channels: routing participation through Prime Video's Instagram left the brand over 4K followers after the campaign ended.
