Brand Launch & Growth System | Live Events Concept (US)
Built and managed the full launch and growth system for a new live-events concept, taking it from an idea to profitable, recurring monthly events within the first 45 days.
I developed the brand identity, designed the customer experience, built the Framer website, created the event infrastructure, handled marketing and organic growth, produced the content, built the ticketing experience, and developed the backend systems needed to operate and grow the business.
The website was built around a CMS-driven event structure, allowing each monthly event to launch from the same system with its own landing page, event details, media, and purchase flow.
Instead of relying on a traditional third-party ticketing platform, I built a custom ticketing experience around common issues customers and event operators face with larger platforms. Customers could purchase directly through the brand, receive their digital ticket, and add it to Apple Wallet. Keeping the transaction within the brand also reduced third-party fees and revenue splits while giving the business greater control over the customer experience and first-party purchase data.
Customer acquisition was handled across both paid and organic channels. I managed Meta advertising, organic social growth, content strategy, photography, video production, editing, creative direction, and the ongoing promotion of each event.
Every ticket buyer and inbound lead was captured into an owned customer database. I built automated follow-up around that data for event reminders, early-bird releases, reviews, future promotions, and retargeting so each event contributed to the audience for the next one instead of starting from zero every month.
The operational side was built to be repeatable as well, including venue partnerships, vendor coordination, inventory planning, event logistics, and a documented run-of-show.
Within the first three events, the concept had already generated meaningful net profit and established a repeatable monthly model with positive unit economics. The broader system was also packaged with domains for three additional cities to support future expansion, licensing, or handoff.
What made this project valuable was the full scope of the build. The final system connected branding, web development, custom ticketing, Apple Wallet integration, paid acquisition, organic growth, content production, first-party customer data, automation, recurring marketing, and event operations into one working business system. Luxury Concierge & Advisory Service: Website Design & Build Social Media & Ads Agency: Landing Page System, Gated Lead Capture & Case Study Engine
Complete website and lead generation system for a social media content and paid ads agency serving local service businesses.
I designed and built the full multi-page site in Framer around the agency’s services, client results, case studies, and core offers, with a strong focus on converting traffic into qualified leads.
The project included custom lead capture functionality, CRM integration, Meta tracking, scheduling, CMS driven case studies, sitewide chat, and the supporting infrastructure needed to manage and grow the site over time.
The result is a polished, scalable website that supports both organic and paid acquisition while giving the agency a much stronger system for turning visitors into booked opportunities.
The new conversion flow started producing leads within its first week live.
