I build reach and revenue for brands with no marketing budget.

Case Study 01: Campaigns

Aivale Cole, Soprano

Building a concert audience from a near-empty room.

Goal

Build reach and awareness for a concert from a near-zero marketing budget and a small, engaged-but-limited following.

Context

Independent classical singer. ~2,000 Instagram followers. No existing content strategy or promotional assets.

What I owned

The full campaign: content strategy, production, paid support, email, PR outreach, event logistics.

BeforeAivale Cole's Instagram profile before the campaign, with 1,997 followers and the original biography
AfterAivale Cole's Instagram profile after the campaign, with 3,833 followers and the rewritten biography

Strategy

One story, built into a funnel.

One hero video, built around her most distinctive, underused credential: her voice on Howard Shore's Oscar-winning Fellowship of the Ring score. Tested with Instagram's Trial Reels tool before wider release, then backed by a rewritten bio to convert new visitors into followers, fixed bio links to remove friction at checkout, and a rebuilt email sequence.

TOPMIDDLEBTM

Top: humour, trends, day-in-the-life, posted until something goes viral.

Middle: storytelling content. Converts viewers into followers and leads.

Bottom: ticket posts. Lower views, higher conversion. All three work together.

554K views. Zero ad spend.

The reel that started it all: her voice on The Lord of the Rings soundtrack, told as a story, with a clear call to come to the gig. Posted as an Instagram Collaboration between @samoan_soprano and @silvia.tomassone.marketing.

Case Study 02: Events

From Mabel to Mavis, benefit concert

Ticketed event marketing, told from the operations side.

Event banner: Want to meet the voice from The Lord of the Rings? Aivale Cole, Friday 2 October, St Mary's Church Putney Bridge

Concept

Donation-based ticketing, to remove the barrier to attendance for a first-time audience.

Promotion plan

Flyer distribution, local Facebook groups, an Instagram/Facebook carousel, and a dedicated 'bring a friend' email send.

Execution

Eventbrite build and checkout fix, flyer design and print run, distribution.

Outcome

For a free, single-night event, the meaningful signal isn't a headline attendance number. It's the booking flow that worked, the assets that carried the promotion, and the distribution plan behind them. All three shipped and held up.

The night

The concert reel, posted as an Instagram Collaboration with @samoan_soprano and filmed by @kedars_fotogram, kept the momentum going after the gig, with audience comments already asking about the next event.
