The Aboriginal Music Week 2013 imagery
Each year we work really hard to put together exceptional marketing pieces for the festival. We engaged DGTL/NVJO to create everything for Aboriginal Music Week 2013 and they did a great job.
Our marketing campaign included print advertisements in Grassroots News, radio advertisements on Streetz FM and NCI FM, website advertisements on saymag.com, a lot of Facebook advertisements, a postering campaign, Festival Sampler CD giveaways, our enewsletter, and regular social network updates. It was all anchored by our website, which hosted all the festival details and ticket purchasing information.
Check out our poster series, festival program, and Festival Sampler CD.
