Issue 04: Revolution and Issue 05: Wonder
Submission, Fundraising, and Launch Campaigns
Instagram Marketing
I worked on Slant’d’s Instagram where I raised engagement on our magazines’ calls for submissions, fundraisers (to pay for printing and the contributors), magazine launch, and celebrations.
During my time at Slant’d we published two annual magazines:
Issue 04: Revolution
Issue 05: Wonder
Submissions
For each magazine, Slant’d hosts an open call for artists and writers to submit to the issue regarding the year’s theme. I regularly posted on the Instagram page to increase the number of submissions we received.
For Issue 05: Wonder, I made a stop motion animation asking people to submit. The stop motion played with paper, texture, and color that reflected the theme and child-like-curiosity “wonder” can represent.
Fundraising
During both fundraising campaigns we held silent auctions. I made feed and story posts listing out all of the items available and regularly relinked to the online auction site. We raised over $900 in the silent auctions each year.
Launching the Magazines
In addition to stories and feed posts, I also directed the team to film specific shots which I then edited to create Instagram reels.
I worked on filling out design assets with the design team and illustrated comics to market the launch of our magazines.
For Issue 04: Revolution, our launch party was virtual which included multiple online workshops hosted by Slant’d and contributing artists and writers.
Issue 05: Wonder launch party was in-person at The Ace Hotel, New York where we partnered with other Asian businesses such as Lunar Seltzer, Drink Sool, Momofuku Milk Bar, and Sanzo Seltzer to provide food and drinks for guests.
