Mel's Drive In x
Lana Del Rey
From $200 & a standout
flyer to a Blockbuster Event
Date
March 27, 2023
Brief
Create a standout event celebrating the release of Lana Del Rey's new album at Mel's Drive In. The event should offer an immersive experience for fans, with special emphasis on introducing an exclusive Lana Del Rey-inspired milkshake flavor, personally approved by the artist.
What We Did
We executed a precision-targeted strategy, investing $200 in a strategically timed, four-day boosted post. This campaign specifically engaged the 21-35 age group in San Francisco and Los Angeles with a strong affinity for Lana Del Rey. Our flyer design, centered around Lana Del Rey's arresting album art, ensured the 'Giveaways' section commanded immediate attention, leaving a lasting impact.
Results
A line that started at 4:30pm (even though the the event didn't officially begin until 6:00pm), and stretched for blocks on Sunset Blvd. The last table was seated at 1:00am (versus the client's expectation of 10:00pm). Following this event, our client saw a significant increase in website traffic, social media engagement, brand awareness, and sales. The demand for venue buyouts has been exceptional, with notable partnerships and interest from Drink 818 Tequila, Beis, Paramount+ Studios, ABC, Hulu, and continued interest from the Interscope record label — all in one year after this event.
