The Very Short Film Festival

Digital Advertising 2023

Milestone Creative is managing a highly effective integrated paid digital marketing campaign for Artology’s The Very Short Film Festival 2023.

There are two parts of this campaign. The first involves awareness about the festival and acquiring film submissions. The second campaign involves building audience awareness of the festival and encouraging attendance.

The Very Short Festival is a vehicle for social change – a place where diverse voices are front and centre. Using the power of storytelling through film, the festival provides a chance for creative sides to be discovered and existing skills sharpened. It’s where many of the entrants pick up a camera to shoot something for the first time in years (or ever!).
