Challenge: Britelings love working at eventbrite, yet don’t always know how to spread that love as a brand
Goal: Create a brand book that’s both inspirational and educational

Eventbrite: Made For Those Who Do – Brand Campaign
Challenge: Hypothesis – Driving awareness and perception at the top of the funnel will act as a catalyst that fuels all marketing efforts of the business in the short term, while building long-term brand equity.
Insight: We are Global but events are hyperlocal. A city-based approach should allow us to connect with our audience in a deeper, more relevant and emotional way.
Outcome:As Eventbrite’s first brand campaign this was our opportunity to put our stake in the ground and show a wider audience what we do. We therefore wanted to create something that was ownable to Eventbrite, congruent with brand guidelines, and stood out amongst other brands in the category.
