Case Study

Coachella

Client: US Weekly & Vinyl Drop  ·  Role: Freelance Journalist & Founder

Goal 1

Collaborate with Us Weekly and Aperol to deliver content with Ariana Madix during her surprise Weekend 1 set, capturing key set pieces that match Us Weekly's audience.

Goal 2

Establish my own independent outlet, Vinyl Drop, for pop music — capturing key moments for stans across Coachella's pop sets all weekend, prioritizing breaking acts and stan-specific moments.

Approach

  • Highlighted key artist sets throughout the weekend and fan chatter for the most exciting or anticipated songs on an artist's setlist.
  • Got to sets early, or worked with venue teams, to secure the best vantage points for content capture.
  • Prioritized artists based on who had the most active fanbases or was most likely to build momentum past Weekend One of the festival.
