The Goal

Develop and execute a strategic brand and communications framework that increased visibility, audience engagement, and community participation for TEDxKNUST initiatives while strengthening my personal brand as a designer, educator, and technology advocate. The objective was to amplify the reach of ideas worth spreading, attract event participants and partners, and build an engaged digital audience across social media and community platforms.

The Challenge

Growing audience awareness in a highly competitive digital landscape.

Translating complex ideas, speaker stories, and event themes into engaging content.

Maintaining consistent brand messaging across multiple platforms and campaigns.

Driving engagement before, during, and after TEDxKNUST events.

Converting social media impressions into event registrations, partnerships, and community participation.

Balancing content creation, community engagement, event promotion, and stakeholder communications with limited resources.

Building trust and credibility with audiences while maintaining TEDx brand standards.
