WHAT I’VE BEEN WORKING ON
   
03.FEST25 Socials
FWB DAO
Social Media
2025


Not quite a tech conference, not quite a music festival, but a secret third thing, FWB FEST is an annual gathering in Idyllwild, CA bringing together sounds, technology and ideas. In the run-up to FEST25, FWB was seeking to social media content that reflected its new, wider culture-first audience that had expanded beyond its initial crypto native audience. Working with CMO, Steph Alinsug, I was responsible for brand marketing, copywriting, and of course, meme strategy.
