Social Media Marketing for an Event Festival in Finland

The Client

Ambitious Actions Oy, a Finland-based event company, organized LureFest 2024, a two-day rap festival held in Imatra in August 2024. We collaborated with them from July to August 2024, providing social media marketing services to boost awareness, engagement, and ticket sales for their event.

The Challenge

Ambitious Actions Oy needed urgent social media marketing for their LureFest 2024 rap festival, with the event set for August but online advertising only beginning mid-July. The primary challenge for us was finding someone capable of writing ad copy in Finnish to ensure localized messaging.

Deliverables:

↳ Social Media Marketing Strategy Development: LureFest lacked a clear social media strategy, which we needed to develop from scratch.

↳ Paid Campaigns Setup on META (Facebook & Instagram), TikTok, and YouTube: Initially, the client intended to focus only on META and TikTok. We recommended advertising on YouTube as well due to its vast reach and the popularity of video content among younger audiences, aligning with LureFest’s target demographic.

↳ Monitoring and Optimization of Ad Performance

↳ Performance Reports

Our Solution

Recognizing the need for Finnish-language ad copy, I brought in digital marketing expert Lumi Salmela to assist. Together, we developed a cohesive strategy and executed the campaigns efficiently.
