Project: Rider Reveal                                                                       Client: Live Nation                                                                           Turning fan curiosity into a content goldmine that sweetened Live Nation’s artist partnership deals.We developed an artist-led 4-part package, with a key component being "Rider Insider," a video series featuring artists seated backstage with items from their rider. In this series, artists discuss the significance of these items and answer questions about them, offering fans a unique and personal glimpse behind the scenes.

Strategy

Idea

Live Nation needed more than standard business terms to convince artists to sign tour partnership deals. We required a compelling content sweetener that would make our packages irresistible compared to competitors.
Transform fan curiosity about artist’s private lives into authentic, shareable content that enhances artist brands while strengthening our partnership value proposition.

How We Brought It To Life



The magic was in the mundane. Instead of focusing on glamorous backstage moments, we zeroed in
on the ordinary items that revealed extraordinary personal stories.

My visual approach needed to feel authentic to the backstage environment—not polished or overly produced.
The title design mimicked actual festival signage you'd see on artist trailers, complete with that slightly weathered, utilitarian aesthetic that screams "insider access."



Visual Identity

Designed title treatment to resemble authentic festival trailer signage, making viewers feel like they're getting VIP backstage access.
Series Integration

Seamlessly aligned with Live Nation's existing 4-part artist package, maintaining brand consistency across all touchpoints.

Scalable System

Created flexible design framework that could adapt to different artists while maintaining series cohesion and authenticity.
