Nakshatra Cultural Fest at MIT Academy of Engineering is one of Western India's most vibrant college festivals. But before CreatorStick Media stepped in, their Instagram page had minimal reach, inconsistent content, and zero brand strategy. What followed was a digital transformation that generated over 2 million impressions.
The Brief
The Nakshatra organizing committee reached out to CreatorStick Media with one clear goal: make the fest impossible to ignore on social media. They wanted awareness, engagement, and footfall — all driven through Instagram.
Our Strategy
We broke the campaign into three phases: Pre-Fest Hype, Fest Day Coverage, and Post-Fest Amplification. Each phase had specific content goals, a publishing cadence, and a targeted hashtag strategy.
Phase 1 — Pre-Fest Hype (6 weeks out)
- ✦Dramatic countdown reels with motion graphics and original music
- ✦Artist and performer reveal content with teaser edits
- ✦Interactive stories: polls, quizzes, countdown stickers
- ✦Collaboration outreach with 20+ college pages for shoutouts
- ✦Hashtag research: identified 15 high-reach, low-competition tags
Phase 2 — Fest Day Coverage
- ✦Live story updates every 30 minutes throughout the event
- ✦Rapid-cut performance reels uploaded within 2 hours of each set
- ✦Crowd energy and vibe content for organic shares
- ✦Real-time engagement: replying to comments and DMs
Phase 3 — Post-Fest Amplification
- ✦Cinematic aftermovie cut to trending audio
- ✦Top moments compilation reels
- ✦Thank you posts driving community loyalty
- ✦Archive-worthy highlight collections
The Results
The campaign exceeded every benchmark. The Nakshatra Instagram page went from a dormant account to one of the most active college fest pages in Maharashtra. The aftermovie alone crossed 500K views in 48 hours.
"CreatorStick Media didn't just manage our Instagram — they built a brand. The fest felt bigger because of the digital energy they created around it."
