The campaign

A multi-single rollout

Loe Shimmy rose from Florida’s underground scene as one of hip-hop’s most promising young voices. Backed by NFL star Lamar Jackson’s entertainment label, his sound blends melodic rap with street emotion, earning major industry co-signs and national recognition.

MPT Agency partnered with Loe Shimmy and Lamar Jackson’s team to design a creative, marketing and rollout strategy around multiple singles: Let It Out, Playboi Carti, Fallin and No Smoke. The objective was to strengthen his artistic identity, support discovery and build sustained digital momentum.

The work connected creative direction and visuals with playlist pitching, social storytelling, influencer collaborations and targeted advertising across YouTube, Spotify and Instagram. Each release gave the existing audience and new listeners another way to discover the music.

The published case study also records co-signs from Drake, Kodak Black and Sexyy Red, alongside touring and booking milestones. These are artist-career context, not a promise that a campaign can purchase endorsements, placements or a particular outcome.
