The Challenge

THE CHALLENGE

Afro Blue is a niche music festival focused on Black music genres like soul, jazz, and blues, held in the stunning Jardín de los Zuloaga in Segovia. From day one, it captured the hearts of those who attended.

The challenge? Expanding its reach and attracting new audiences, despite being a lesser-known festival without mainstream headliners.

Our Strategy

OUR STRATEGY

We discovered that the key wasn’t to highlight the lineup’s exceptional musical curation, which truly is outstanding, but to convey the full experience of attending Afro Blue: a soulful weekend escape filled with music, good vibes, scenic views, and charming Segovia.

DEVELOPMENT

We put the following actions into motion to get started:

✓Shifted the communication strategy from line-up focus to storytelling around the experience.
✓Created content highlighting the weekend getaway vibe, from panoramic views to the energy of the crowd.
✓Activated paid media campaigns with assets that showcased this immersive angle.
✓Engaged loyal attendees to share their personal Afro Blue stories.
