Big ideas behind the brand design for the Man Up Conference:
- Man UP is an annual event for Cornerstone Church.
- We created a landing page on the website to point the online ads to for the event.
- The design is masculine and inspirational.
- The church used screens throughout the building to inform guests throughout the event.
- Social media posts were used for weeks leading up to the event to drive people to sign up.
- An email campaign was put together to reach the internal church members.
- See the landing page here: https://cornerstonehighland.com/manup22/
- I use Divi Builder by Elegant Themes to build the website and landing page: https://www.elegantthemes.com/
- The image for the design was from https://unsplash.com/
