Mirage Festival

Content and system strategy · 2026 · Festival marketing · Meta Ads · Notion

Mirage is a three-day electronic music festival in Taiwan entering its second year in 2026. Outside a small circle, almost nobody had heard of it.

When I joined in late May, ticket sales opened in a week and there was no marketing plan. The budget was close to zero.

I came in to build the plan, make the content, and sell tickets.

Week 1Phase 1: Strategy

I turned my research into a 24-slide strategy deck.

The campaign concept (“It was real. It was all yours.”), became four content pillars, a Reels-first Instagram plan and a plan for launch night.

Closing slide: thank you

June to SeptemberPhase 2: Content

I wrote the scripts, coordinated a photoshoot with every artist, co-produced the videos and directed on set.

The photo and video series covered all 36 artists.

We also ran a content series for the official T-shirt that sold out during the festival.

I also ran the Meta ads: 25,000 paid clicks to the ticket page at under NT$1 (US$0.03) per click.

After the festivalPhase 3: Post-mortem

After the festival I turned the raw order data into a buyer report: who bought, when, and what moved them.

It gave the organizers a 2027 plan built around their price deadlines and a live page to set ticket targets and track them each week.
