Visit Victoria – White Night 2018

How we helped Visit Victoria produce a series of video content to help attract 800,000 to one of Melbourne’s most popular events

36 pieces of video content delivered over a 12 month period

In just six years, White Night Melbourne has quickly become one of the most popular events on the city’s social calendar. For the first time ever this year White Night expanded to include Bendigo and Geelong making it the biggest cultural festival Victoria has ever held attracting over 800,000 visitors across the four locations.

We worked with the Visit Victoria & White Night marketing team to produce 2-3 ‘Behind the scenes – Artist Profiles’ per location (Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong) and a ‘same day’ 60sec highlights edit for social media channels over a 12 month period. Videos were to be delivered in traditional 16×9 format, as well as 9×16 & 1×1 formats for social channels.

Looks great – I think is a good amount of visual reference to the work, without revealing the entire thing!
