Witchcraft - Workshop Series was a run of seven artists workshops and ROOK’s first paid event, where I was tasked with directing promotions. From ideation, we wanted to lean into the diversity of our studio artists, providing an eclectic range of workshops that would stand out from the typical Sip’n’Paint workshops.
I developed an event brand and visual identity meshing with ROOK’s darker gothic brand, likening these specialized skills to occult knowledge - Witchcraft fit nicely. I briefed a graphic designer for the textual logo, pantone and type, but made an extra brief for the director, as I wanted a graphic logo that featured his hand-drawn work (seen in the ROOK logo). I brought all these elements together when I created the event content seen here.
When scheduling on digital channels for this event, I aimed to reach beyond the brand’s steady Instagram following out to Facebook and launched the first Email newsletter (BLACKMAIL) utilizing a mailing list I gathered at the previous event. I created two competitons to broaden our reach beyond our core audience, and maintain engagement througout the duration of the event season.
The event was a great success, all but selling out tickets on Eventbrite.
