I worked as Communications Officer with ROOK for three years.
Witchcraft - Workshop Series was a run of seven artists workshops and ROOK’s first paid event that I was responsible for promoting. We leaned into the diversity of our studio artists, providing an eclectic range of workshops, distinct from traditional offerings.
I developed an event brand and visual identity aligned with ROOK’s dark gothic identity, likening workshop skills to occult knowledge - Witchcraft fit nicely. I directed a designer to create the text logo, pantone and type, ensuring to incorporate a hand-drawn graphic ala the ROOK logo. I brought these elements together to create social content seen here.
When scheduling this event, I reached beyond the brand’s Instagram following out to Facebook and launched an Email newsletter (BLACKMAIL) utilizing a mailing list I built at a previous event. I created two competitons which generated earned media, and sustained brand engagement during and after the events had ran.
The event was a great success, all but selling out tickets on Eventbrite.
- Planned and executed a digital campaign for seven artist workshops, successfully selling 200 tickets (95%) through Eventbrite.

- Involving and leveraging artists to help drive strategy creates authentic collateral and content while returning the audience’s focus back to them and their process.
