Our longtime partner Velvet Hammer Music and Management Group needed to bring a sinfully exciting look to their new goth/nu-metal/alternative music festival Sick New World Fest in Las Vegas. With artists like System of a Down, Korn, Deftones, and Incubus there, we were excited to create an amazing experience for the first year of the music festival.
We created a complete graphics package that was used across social media for ticket sales and promotion, on-stage and promo billboards around the festival grounds, and for digital marketing content like recap videos. It began with a trailer video with our group of characters set against a carnival funhouse-themed version of the Las Vegas skyline, but became so much more. Scroll down to see the full package of our work for the festival.
Line-Up Release Trailer 2023
Being the first year of Sick New World Fest in Las Vegas, the festival organizer Velvet Hammer wanted to spread the word about nu-metal/alt music's hottest new show. Utilizing the characters and graphics package we developed for the festival, we created a sinfully exciting trailer set against a carnival funhouse-themed version of the Las Vegas skyline.
This trailer set the tone and teased the upcoming lineup release of bands like System of a Down, Korn, Deftones, and Incubus. It was formatted specifically for 9x16 mobile viewing, which helped drive over 126K likes on @systemofadown's Instagram.

Our content was used widely by the festival, such as in tease videos on social media, ticket promos, product giveaways, and recap videos. We delivered the graphics in a variety of formats so that it can be used on different platforms and marketing channels, such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and more.
