The festival included a primary art exhibit (which opened on August 26, 2023), satellite events, and a Summit (held on October 14, 2023). To promote the festival as a whole and each individual event, and ultimately to contribute to ticket sales and attendance, The BRVC Company recommended a PR campaign from July to October 2023, followed by the distribution of a press release. Our Approach Phase 1: Audit BRVC conducted a competitor coverage analysis and assessed past media coverage, along with the online representation of the brand. Phase 2: Strategic Communications Plan The plan was designed to introduce the 6th Dimension Festival, promote individual events, and highlight the festival’s peak event — the summit — to drive sales and attendance. The core narratives focused on Afrofuturism, the festival’s program, and creating activism. The goal was to secure an average of 2 earned media placements per month, based on findings from the audit. Phase 3: Implementation & Analysis BRVC executed media outreach targeting local tourism and news, national arts and culture outlets, BIPOC interests, and education and activism. Additionally, influencers and key industry leaders were engaged to help promote the festival. Our Impact & Client Milestones BRVC aimed for a minimum of 2 earned media placements (articles) per month, and the PR efforts greatly exceeded this goal: August 2023: With 58 pitches sent, BRVC achieved 44 press mentions, including 34 articles and 10 mentions on online event calendars. This resulted in 1,600% more articles than the goal (34 articles vs. 2) and 77.27% of all press mentions being articles. September 2023: In this month, 13 pitches were sent, resulting in 86 press mentions, 8 of which were articles. This marked a 300% increase over the goal of 2 articles (8 articles vs. 2). Of all press mentions, 9.30% were articles. October 2023: Continuing the momentum, 13 pitches led to 11 press mentions, 9 of which were articles. This represented a 350% increase over the goal of 2 articles (9 articles vs. 2). 81.82% of all press mentions were articles.

"I did coaching with Brianna and it was amazing! I developed a better marketing strategy, received feedback on my online presence, defined my target audience and so much more. Plus I had great interaction with the rest of the class. Would highly recommend." Dawn F. Founder Here's the Sitch (aka Situation) Beauty By Dawn was preparing for two key Fall vendor events while also looking ahead to the holiday season—one of the most critical revenue periods for product-based businesses. However, there wasn’t a clear, data-informed strategy connecting: Event participation → brand visibility → sales conversion (in-person and online) Fall activations → holiday campaign readiness → long-term vendor growth Like many emerging brands, efforts risked becoming tactical and reactive instead of structured and revenue-driven—leaving missed opportunities in both event ROI and seasonal momentum. Our Approach We designed a custom 60-day strategy sprint focused on aligning Beauty By Dawn’s event marketing, customer insights, and holiday positioning into one cohesive growth plan. Our work focused on: Audience & Opportunity Mapping Assessed target audiences for both Fall events using organizer insights and collaboration opportunities Identified ways to integrate Beauty By Dawn into broader event marketing for increased visibility Event-to-Revenue Strategy Built pre-, during-, and post-event marketing strategies Defined tactics to convert foot traffic into both immediate and sustained sales (online + in-person) Competitive & Seasonal Positioning Analyzed competitor holiday campaigns to identify gaps, dos, and don’ts Developed tailored holiday campaign strategies to position the brand for peak seasonal demand Real-Time Optimization & Insights Debriefed each event to capture what drove engagement and sales Translated insights into repeatable strategies for future activations Growth Pipeline Development Identified lookalike vendor opportunities for 2024 Built a forward-looking strategy to expand Beauty By Dawn’s presence across aligned markets Our Impact & Client Milestones In just 60 days, Beauty By Dawn transitioned from event participation without structure to a data-informed, revenue-focused approach to in-person and seasonal sales. Key outcomes included: Developed a full-funnel vendor marketing system - Created a clear pre-, during-, and post-event strategy for their first U.S. vendor activation—establishing a repeatable framework for future events. Achieved 89% of their revenue goal - Demonstrating strong alignment between strategy, execution, and on-the-ground sales performance. Turned in-person traffic into an owned audience for the first time (20% conversion rate) - Captured 20 email subscribers from ~100 attendees—shifting from one-time event sales to building a sustainable pipeline for remarketing, customer retention, and future revenue. Shifted to data-driven selling (online + in-person ) - Equipped the brand with insights to make informed decisions on product positioning, pricing, and customer engagement—extending beyond events into holiday and evergreen sales strategies. Established a holiday campaign framework - Created structured promotional strategies to maximize visibility and conversions during peak season, with tactics that can be reused year-round.
