MICHAEL PATRICK KELLY
About the Project:
This ongoing collaboration focuses on building and scaling Michael Patrick Kelly’s digital ecosystem with a clear goal: turning attention into long-term fan relationships and measurable revenue. The strategy connects social media, newsletter, and fan activations into one cohesive system—prioritising depth of engagement over short-term reach.
The Process:
Working closely with the artist and his team, I translate releases, tours, and key moments into structured, multi-platform fan journeys. This includes developing platform-specific strategies, creating shooting schedules, coordinating production, and overseeing the full content lifecycle.
Beyond social media, I conceptualise and project-manage immersive fan and e-commerce experiences that combine storytelling, participation, and conversion.
Key Deliverables:
Cross-platform content and release strategies
Editorial newsletter campaigns
Fan engagement activations (voting, exclusive access, community moments)
An immersive fan & e-commerce website
A flagship project was followthetraces.com, an interactive website where fans unlocked clues and exclusive content around a release, serving as both a storytelling space and a high-impact conversion touchpoint
Results:
312k+ page views on the fan website within one month
Highest pre-save numbers achieved by the artist to date
+70% newsletter growth
52.1% open rate and 14.19% CTR, with one newsletter generating five figures in release week
