Glass City Live Concert Promotion
Held on May 24, 2025 at the historic Glass Bowl Stadium on the campus of the University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio, Glass City Live featured headliners Zac Brown Band with special guests Dustin Lynch, Luke Grimes and Gaelic Storm.
The event marked the first major concert at the stadium in more than 30 years and was positioned as Toledo’s newest large-scale live-music platform—designed to draw over 25,000 fans and highlight the region’s entertainment potential.
As the concert marketing agency, we were brought in to define the visual identity, create a hype video to kick off the campaign, and drive the multi-phase digital rollout (pre-sale signup → ticket launch) to ensure the event achieved max awareness, engagement and conversion.
Concert Ad Mat
To support the full promotional rollout, I designed the official concert ad mat for Glass City Live—establishing the core visual identity that all marketing would build from. The ad mat combined the event’s headliners, venue details, and brand elements into a single, high-impact graphic that could scale across social media, digital ads, print, and partner promotions. It served as the foundation for every asset that followed, ensuring the campaign looked cohesive, professional, and instantly recognizable.
Pre-Sale | Countdown | Ticket Sales
To build momentum leading into the event, I developed creative for a phased social media campaign that moved fans from awareness to action. This included a 6-day countdown series to spark early hype, exclusive pre-sale signup ads to grow the email list, and bold, urgency-driven ticket-sale graphics once seats went live. Each phase used a consistent visual system—energetic imagery, bold typography, and clear calls to action—to keep the event top-of-feed and drive measurable conversions from signups to ticket purchases.
Social Media Promo Ad
This piece was all about energy and immediacy. The visuals hit fast—bright lights, crowd motion, and bold, punchy typography that basically shouts “Tickets are LIVE.” The pacing keeps the viewer locked in, while the color and motion transitions mimic the feeling of being at the show. It’s simple, loud, and built to cut through a busy feed in seconds. Perfect for stopping thumbs and driving that quick impulse to buy.
