BUILDING BRAND AWARENESS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND ONLINE MARKETING.

As the project lead, I worked on two different builder sites simultaneously. Sled Build and Garage 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 Sled Build you will find many cool snowmobiles 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 sledbuild.com a first-class site for builders to show off their sleds.

Here is the promotional short video I put together from site images explaining how sled build works. Creating this short video with sled builders photos showing the functionality of the site, combined together with effects and music making a dynamic video clip to raise brand awareness.

VIDEO SOCIAL POSTS

I created weekly short video posts in Adobe After Effects using submitted builders photos, harmoniously combined them together with effects and music. Goal: To display dynamic motion video that stops the scrolling and engages the audience.

SNOCROSS

snocross

10° at the Snocross Championships in Shakopee MN. Wearing armor and carrying a VIP media pass I was able to go behind the scenes to capture photos and video in the pit, at the starting line and track side. Showing the human side of snocross, the mentorship, the interaction of riders and coaches, the energy of racing tight turns, banked corners, steep jumps and obstacles. On this day my focus was on the snow bikes and the young racers that are the future of this great power sport.

Sled Build powered by Dennis Kirk is a proud supporter of Snocross and all the riders, youth through professionals. This year's Sled Build campaign was focused on the young riders and their mentors.

EMAIL MARKETING

Here I'm following through with the creative look and feel of the Sled Builder brand, I took on the responsibility to create and supply the artwork for all the Sled Build and Garage 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 sledbuild.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 sled. Once entered, each submission will score the builders an awesome winter Sled Build beanie and a chance at our Grand Prize!
