Duration

3 weeks

Solo, 1 content writer

Process4 phases
01

Campaign Concept

Developed a visual concept around 'sound waves made visible'. Used bold typography over distorted waveform graphics in the festival's gold and charcoal palette to create a recognizable campaign motif.

02

Template System

Built 12 reusable templates: artist announcement, stage reveal, countdown, ticket reminder, and post-event recap. Each template uses the same grid and type system but swaps imagery and accent colors per artist.

03

Daily Content

Produced 40+ posts over 3 weeks leading up to the event. Maintained a content calendar with daily drops: artist features on Mondays, stage reveals on Wednesdays, ticket pushes on Fridays, and countdown stories in the final week.

04

Motion Assets

Animated 5-second countdown stories and looping artist cards in After Effects. Exported optimized MP4s for Instagram and TikTok, keeping file sizes under 5MB for fast loading on mobile data.

Challenges & Solutions

Platform Consistency

Each platform has different aspect ratios and safe zones. Designed master files in 1:1, then auto-adapted to 9:16 stories and 16:9 covers using a modular layout system that kept key content in the safe zone.

Last-Minute Lineup Changes

Two artists dropped out and were replaced mid-campaign. The template system allowed swapping artist photos and names in under 10 minutes, keeping the announcement graphics on-brand without redesigning from scratch.
