Case study

First listen in Las Vegas. Content built for an unreleased song.

Slaack Productions brought Karma on as the content team for a Zayn activation in Las Vegas — a fan experience built around hearing an unreleased song before it dropped. Full photo set delivered, plus a finished video cut to the unreleased track under a signed NDA.

The challenge

An unreleased song, a Las Vegas first-listen, and content that had to match the moment.

Slaack Productions partnered with Karma to capture a Zayn activation in Las Vegas — a fan experience built around the first listen of a brand-new song before its public release. The brief: own the room photographically, then deliver a finished hero video cut to the unreleased track. Quiet build, big payoff.

Unreleased music meant a signed NDA, a locked-down edit pipeline, and a level of discretion that protects the artist before release. Karma routinely handles unreleased and embargoed work — the standard the music industry expects, applied across every deliverable.

Our approach

How we solved it.

01

Pre-production

Site walk, brand reference, shot list, and a multi-camera plan for the activation — locked before doors opened.

02

Capture

A photo + video team on-site covering the fan first-listen experience, the talent moments, and the environmental beats that gave the night its tone.

03

NDA-locked edit

All assets handled under a signed NDA. The hero video cut to the unreleased track, reviewed inside a secured workflow until release clearance.

04

Deliver

Final photo set and the finished video — handed off to Slaack Productions ready to release in sync with the song.

Selected work

Selected frames.

'The video and photos came out awesome — exactly what we were expecting. The Karma team handled the unreleased side of the project with the discretion we needed, and the final cut hit the brief without us having to chase a single revision.'
