BUILDING BRAND AWARENESS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND ONLINE MARKETING.

As the project lead, I worked on two different builder sites simultaneously. Garage Build and Sled Build. My strength is building brand awareness through social and online marketing from concept to completion.

Example; I create weekly short video clips in Adobe After Effects supporting the brand and the builders, using
photography and video I've taken myself from lifestyle and sponsored events, along with submitted content. I also create site feature pages, builder pages, and event pages in WordPress. 

At Garage Build, you will find many cool motorcycles personalized by the everyday builder. We run an amateur build contest each year, builders submit and take a chance at winning a grand prize. Making garagebuild.com a first-class site for builders to show off their ride.

VIDEO SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS

I created short video posts using Adobe After Effects with footage that I shot in Sturgis SD and along with submitted photos. Then rolled them together with music and effects. Goal: To display dynamic motion video that stops the scrolling and engages the audience.

SOCIAL MEDIA SPECIALIST

Gathering and creating content. Posting single, multiple and video content supported by stories, utilizing Linktree to share links for Instagram. Stopping the scrolling, engaging the viewer and gaining traction. This is the space that sled builders share their personal page, and social posts.

EMAIL BLAST

Here I'm following through with the creative look and feel of the Garage Builder brand, I took on the responsibility to create and supply the artwork for all the Garage Build and Sled Build email blasts. Showcasing online marketing updates, upcoming events, featuring our community of builders, incorporating our most successful social posts, and connecting them into our email campaign.

SUBMIT PROMOTION

Getting builders to submit their ride is another priority at garagebuild.com. Here's a couple quick and easy social posts I shot with my iphone, added texture in the background and a headline. Here we are talking directly to our audience, the builders that restore, modify and customize their bike. Once entered each submission will score the builders an awesome Garage Build hat and a chance at our Grand Prize!
