Unity Concert Series and Hard Rock Cafe

Background

In December 2020, The Digital Marketing Agency & Consulting Company LLC was tasked with marketing a Hollywood New Year’s Eve Virtual Benefit Concert, designed to rival the iconic Times Square Ball Drop. With only 17 days to execute, the agency, led by founder and CEO Mike Galindo, faced the challenge of developing a high-impact, engaging marketing campaign with limited time and budget. The event, “The Unity Concert Series: Together We Vibe,” was a star-studded concert featuring Snoop Dogg, Jordin Sparks, Warren G, Estelle, and others, broadcast live from the Hollywood Hard Rock Cafe and contracted by Tu Bachata Radio, a web-based bachata radio station launched during the pandemic.

Goal

The primary goal was to maximize visibility, secure ticket sales, and generate significant social media engagement, competing with the Times Square Ball Drop to attract a global audience celebrating from home.

Strategy and Implementation

The Digital Marketing Agency & Consulting Company LLC developed a comprehensive strategy combining AI-driven analytics, targeted content creation, and robust social media marketing:

1. Inbound and Outbound Marketing Plan: Crafted an all-encompassing marketing plan, aligning inbound efforts (social media content, Google Ads) with outbound tactics (paid advertising, community outreach) to reach a diverse audience quickly.
2. Content and Brand Voice Strategy: Conducted market research and utilized Facebook audience insights to identify keywords and target demographics. The agency studied competitor positioning, including that of Live Nation Entertainment, to establish the ideal brand voice for a concert of this scale.
3. Data-Driven Marketing Approach: Leveraged eMarketer reports, Google data, and Facebook analytics to develop precise audience targeting, ensuring every campaign element was backed by reliable data.
4. Social Media and Affiliate Marketing: Built a social media following from the ground up, establishing presence on multiple platforms. Additionally, ads were strategically placed across news networks and major social channels to drive ticket sales.
5. Eventbrite Ticketing Integration: Chose Eventbrite as the primary ticketing platform to facilitate sales and improve reach, seamlessly integrating it within the overall digital campaign.
