Business Goals

Expand into the marketing persona

Amplify was the perfect moment to launch the new product features built specifically for marketers.

Attract 800+ attendees

Making 2022 the biggest Amplify yet meant shattering previous years' attendee numbers.

Keep costs low

While Amplify represented the largest annual marketing line item, we still needed to prove a return on investment.

Challenges

In-person attendance unpredictable

As we returned to in-person events, our ability to attract our community was untested.

Live and virtual for the first time

Our brand and attendee experience needed to span both in-person and online.

Strategies

Leverage the corporate identity

Making Amplify an extension of the corporate brand helped it become a household name within the community.

Bring data to life

Simplified our product visuals and invested in creative brand expressions rooted in data abstractions.

Be a proactive partner

Whether it was a splash page for launch or a CMS-powered registration site, being a proactive partner ensured success.

Details

Amplitude's events, content, product marketing, and brand teams helped me build a attendee experience packed with product education, community, and of course, launches.

Visual Identity

Amplify wordmark

Amplify needed an identity so I built a simple wordmark to resonate with the corporate brand's bold and clean take on data abstractions.

Microsite

Registration site

I designed an editable microsite steeped in our new corporate identity for our events team to manage as they rolled out new speakers and content.

Promotion

Brand-compliant communications

I considered each touchpoint to ensure a consistent brand experience throughout all communications.

Research

Onsite at the Aria

Amplitude's comms department and I traveled onsite to meet with the production team and better understand the space and what we were designing for.

Art Direction

Data immersion

I owned the art direction for our interstitial animations executed by Amplitude's favorite agency, One Hundred. We created a series of animations built in a 3D rendering of our data shapes growing and shrinking to give the audience a feeling of being immersed in data at a tectonic scale.

Environmental Design

Installations

I worked with the broader creative team's execution of the installations within the Aria to make sure each brand moment was executed perfectly.

Results

1,000+ attendees in Las Vegas

We smashed our original goal of attracting 800 in-person attendees in Las Vegas.

3 product updates launched

Amplitude's leadership launched its major product improvements.

New corporate identity activated

As the first major brand activation, I made sure it was executed beautifully.
