Website & Social Media
We designed and managed the Lucknow Run website as the central information and registration hub, focusing on clarity, speed, and mobile responsiveness. The structure prioritized user journeys, making it easy for participants to explore race categories, schedules, routes, and updates without friction.
On social media, we managed end-to-end planning, production, and publishing with a focus on anticipation, motivation, and human stories. Pre-event builds, runner features, behind-the-scenes moments, and post-event highlights sustained engagement and extended the event narrative beyond race day.
On-Ground & Outdoor Marketing
⬤ 04. PHYSICAL Presence
To ensure strong city-level visibility, we designed a comprehensive set of on-ground and outdoor assets including banners, standees, hoardings, and directional signages. These elements were designed to be bold, legible, and instantly recognizable, even at a distance. On race day, the signage system played a critical role in guiding participants while reinforcing the event’s brand identity across key locations and routes.

End-to-End Production & Event Coverage
Production focused on capturing the raw energy and emotion of Lucknow Run across every stage of the event.
