IHC COLLABORATED WITH ADULT SWIM FOR ALL FOUR YEARS OF ITS MUSIC AND COMEDY FESTIVAL.

For the Adult Swim Fest’s 4 year run, IHEARTCOMIX executed multiple social and digital marketing campaigns to promote the event and drive viewership resulting in billions of impressions year over year. Each year featured a variety of creative activations unique for what was happening at the fest, but at the core of our approach was always awareness via all traditional media outlets and IHC networks.

Digital Marketing & Paid Media

To maximize awareness of the lineup and drive ticket sales to the festival, IHC coordinated media placements through the exchange of tickets and listing the event on all major event calendars. We secured social coverage, exclusive giveaways, newsletter placements, and promotion across relevant forums.

IHC Newsletter & Socials

Adult Swim trusted us to not only conceptualize and execute engaging promotional tactics, they also tapped us for our community of culture fans and consumers. Our newsletter and social following was an integral aspect of every marketing campaign, promoting both the festival as well as all initiatives each year.

Scavenger Hunt & Sweepstakes

In 2019 we partnered with 12 carefully chosen retailers in LA to participate in a county-wide scavenger hunt to increase visibility in the local market. Daily clues were posted on Instagram for fans to decipher the day’s location of the winning ticket.

In both 2019 and 2020, we also produced weekly sweepstakes with exclusive prizes to further bolster ticket sales. These campaigns engaged audiences nationwide with escalating rewards each week.

#ASFESTCHALLENGE

We engaged diehard fans to recreate famous scenes from Adult Swim shows in order to win prize packs of increasing value, which simultaneously created fresh and interesting content for @adultswim to share and promote the fest daily to fans.

Influencer Mailer Campaigns

We engaged diehard fans to recreate famous scenes from Adult Swim shows in order to win prize packs of increasing value, creating fresh and interesting content for @adultswim to share while promoting the fest to fans. Each year, IHC produced custom boxes, helped curate the items, executed fulfillment, and assisted in curating the recipient list of relevant influencers, musicians, comedians and fans of the brand. We tapped folks within our larger music and comedic networks for impactful social coverage, reaching millions of fans each year.

2020 & 2021 Virtual Festival

Given the COVID-restrictions that forced the festival online, we created concepts that leaned into this unique opportunity to engage a global audience on a limited budget, unrestricted by a festival’s physical location. In addition to our usual promotions, we also expanded support in the followng ways:

Douggpound Promo Videos: We collaborated with Tim & Eric collaborator DJ Douggpound to produce a series of promotional videos in the classic Adult Swim tone to exited audiences for the festival.

Chat Moderation: IHC also jumped on to manage and moderate the livestream chat on Youtube, overseeing a team of 12 people to orchestrate conversations around talent appearances, community guidelines, and execute key messaging.
