Transcript

Southwest Airlines just lent a creator a plane to make a TikTok. This is Madison Humphrey, known for her hilarious parodies. And when this video of a couple getting married on a plane took off and Madison was getting tagged left and right, everybody on the internet was questioning how is Madison going to pull this off. No and behold, Southwest hooks her up with a plane. Gets over 20 of her friends and family members through security tier even flew in the original flight attendant from the first viral video to star in her parody. And Madison had this up within forty eight hours of the original. Honestly, this was super smart on Southwest Park because these videos have racked up millions and millions of views. But even better, they just won over Madison Humphrey's entire community. Now everybody on TikTok feels very deeply connected to the rank, like they're in on the same jokes that we're in on. So marketing teams take notes here. What might seem like a silly thing on TikTok is actually a really smart way for our brand to jump in on a conversation. I think this was awesome, but let me know what you guys think.
