Cracker Barrel Creates Clever Original Content At ACM Party For A Cause

Country artists and social media sensations connected with Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores to share original content while backstage at the ACM Party For A Cause Festival, which was held April 1-3 in Las Vegas. The multimedia event was produced by FlyteVu, a Nashville-based company co-founded by Jeremy Holley and Laura Hutfless in October 2015.

The Content Creator Studio, part of the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Spotlight Music program, hosted several popular social media stars as they conducted exclusive interviews with country music’s top artists during the festival. Frankie Ballard, Kelsea Ballerini, Kellie Pickler, RaeLynn, Canaan Smith, Cole Swindell, The Band Perry, and Chris Young were just a few of those artists checking out the event.

For three days, the four themed sections within the Content Creator Studio powered by Cracker Barrel were home to social media stars with a combined digital reach of 22 million followers. These include magician and America’s Got Talent finalist Collins Key, YouTube beauty star and The Amazing Race competitor Blair Fowler, Instagram favorite Doug the Pug, American Ultimate Disc League player and trick shot performer Brodie Smith, beatboxer and Pitch Perfect 2 star 80Fitz, and self-taught dance sensation Amymarie Gaertner. Additionally, fashion illustrator Alex Kim sketched artists as they arrive to the studio and final drawings will go up on her Instagram @KimDesigns.
