The Brief
The Challenge
A private dinner where the guest list was the strategy. The brand needed the entire campaign — from invite to follow-up — to feel as considered as the room itself.
The Idea
The Angle
Treat every touchpoint as part of the experience. The invite is part of the dinner. The follow-up is part of the dinner. There is no marketing layer separate from the night.
The Execution
What Got Built
Invite Copy
An invite that felt like a personal note, not a brand send.
Email Sequence
A pre-event series that built quiet anticipation.
On-the-night Messaging
Place-setting cards, menus, and small print that all sounded like the brand.
Follow-up Campaign
A thank-you sequence that opened the next conversation, not just closed the last one.
The Outcome
High RSVP-to-attendance conversion, strong post-event sentiment, and several follow-on conversations that turned into ongoing relationships.
My Role
What I Handled
Campaign concept, invite and email copy, and on-the-night messaging.
