Align & lock goals

Agree what good looks like before the lights go up. Walk out with the goals and the owners settled.

  • Confirm the operational lead & communication channels for the pilot
  • Confirm what success looks like from this pilot so we can shape it around that
  • Confirm emails send from Alesso's own domain and what that domain is
  • Confirm the content send window after the show (ideally 24–48h)

Pre-seed and prepare the account

The gallery shouldn't open empty and the account should be ready to send. Load past nights so day-one visitors land on a full house.

  • Share the desired seed content (Ultra Miami (03·26), Red Rocks etc.) so we can build the Alesso profile
  • Configure DNS settings (if using platform emails)
  • Load existing audiences via CSV upload (if using platform emails)
  • Confirm legal information (name, address, contact) for platform privacy policy

Outreach & QR

Move borrowed reach into owned data using both digital and physical channels.

  • Confirm all available digital outreach channels for awareness
  • Understand current promotional plan around the show
  • Pick the capture mechanics and QR messaging: early access · presale priority · VIP competition · giveaway · preview unreleased track
  • Confirm options for QR placement on-site (printed signs / screens / wristbands)
  • Confirm ownership and deadline for any printed on-site material (if desired)
  • Confirm the fan-shared content review flow (nothing goes straight to gallery)

Execute

The only new step is getting the footage out. Everything else, Alesso's team already does.

  • Capture the night: the team shoots, and fans add their own frames from the floor
  • Send footage to Drop Highlight: via a DH upload link or Dropbox, whichever the team prefers
  • Drop Highlight builds the gallery: picks the fan favourites, drafts it, sends for review, then puts it live
  • Build and send gallery awareness emails: hook, body, tappable cards; Alesso as sender
  • New captures join Alesso's DH database: we export and send it over, or walk the team through it, post-campaign

Debrief & review

Did the channel live up to expectations and do we continue the roll out?

  • Export the clean first-party file: segmented by show / city / date
  • Review against the pilot goals + gather any fan feedback
  • Review the fan-upload wall: submitted vs. approved, brand control held
  • Decide what scales to the next dates: Pier 4 (22·08) and beyond
