What's Working

People forward these clips to friends constantly. Slam Dunk's posts travel by word of mouth more than almost any festival in the world, which is distribution the festival never paid for.

The audience is saving posts for later. Its content gets bookmarked more than at almost any festival on the planet, a signal that people intend to return to it.

Its Reels and TikToks sit at a middling level, neither a standout strength nor a clear drag on the score.
