Salomoon’s plan for NAOOMI’s cover of “Midnight Sun” starts with four mood-setting slides and saves the title for slide five. That is the useful idea here: give the images a reason to be swiped before asking for attention to the release. The agency describes the design and distribution plan, but provides no attributed post or performance data.
The artist and the release plan
German creative studio Salomoon describes its work with NAOOMI on a pre-release social campaign for a cover of Zara Larsson’s Midnight Sun. The portfolio hashtags (#zaralarssoncover, #coverartist) frame it as a cover-artist release. The brief was to build attention on Instagram and TikTok before the song landed—not to drop a plain “NEW SINGLE OUT NOW” graphic.
Who posted: Salomoon says the campaign was published to TikTok and Instagram. The portfolio names neither handle nor post URL. Treat “who posted” as agency-built creative for NAOOMI, not as a verified artist-account Photo Mode post the way Julia Wolf’s Alice Cullen pack is.
What was designed: five slides, title held for last
The organizing idea is simple: open with mood; save the song title for the end.
| Slide | Job in the plan |
|---|---|
| 1 | Hook lifestyle image that fits a current aesthetic—no song title yet |
| 2–4 | Same visual world (warm summer light + violet “midnight glow”) so the viewer keeps swiping |
| 5 | Reveal: “Midnight Sun” |
Release carousels often put the title or “OUT NOW” on slide 1. This plan runs the other way. Early slides are meant to read like a lifestyle Photo Mode dump; the title arrives only after the swipe. Salomoon says TikTok and Instagram got the same image world with different captions, hooks, order, and audio/trend choices. Without a playable post, we cannot verify how the sound appeared in the published carousel.
Caption and discovery choices (as planned)
TikTok caption direction from the portfolio:
kinda chic to turn a song you love into your own little universe…
Keyword focus cited: kinda chic · Midnight Sun · cover artist · new music
TikTok hashtags planned: #kindachic #midnightsun #zaralarssoncover #coverartist #newmusic
Instagram was planned with stronger artist/cover keywords (#ZaraLarsson, #CoverSong, etc.). The caption starts in the aesthetic trend, not a release pitch. That is a discovery framing choice described by the agency—not measured search performance.
Why this structure might stop a swipe (creative mechanism only)
- Trend fitted to the artist — Photo Mode / “kinda chic” research was filtered through NAOOMI’s existing summer lifestyle stills, not copied as a viral template.
- Story before reveal — slides 1–4 earn the swipe; slide 5 pays off the title once the world is set.
- One world, two captions — same images; platform-specific hooks so TikTok leans trend/search and Instagram leans artist context.
None of that is a measured claim that this carousel outperformed a title-first version.
Results and limits
Salomoon says the campaign was published to TikTok and Instagram, but its portfolio does not name a post or account. We could not verify the live carousel or attribute any TikTok views, saves, or streams to it. This remains a creative teardown, not a results case study.
What we can reasonably learn
- Label the piece for what it is: a creative teardown / format example from an agency portfolio—not a performance case study.
- Last-slide title reveal is a reusable dramaturgy: lifestyle hook → world-build → title payoff.
- Separate TikTok and Instagram captions even when images stay the same.
- Do not invent results. If the source skips the URL and the numbers, the article should too.

This article describes a planned carousel structure from a named agency portfolio; it is not evidence that the campaign performed. Always select the track inside TikTok when you post.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a TikTok case study with results?
No. It is a creative teardown of Salomoon’s published process. There is no attributed post URL, view count, or streaming figure.
Who made the carousel?
Salomoon’s portfolio describes agency scope (trend research, art direction, retouching, platform-specific copy). It does not prove the artist posted it personally from her own account.
