United FestivALB · SIUH Community Park, Staten Island · May 16–17, 2026 · 22 artists, two days, one stage. Hosted by Alketa Vejsiu & Robert Berisha.

Consense built the brand system, Squarespace website, and five social channels around the festival’s existing logo. We also produced artist announcements and recaps, and ran the paid Meta program leading up to the event.

A stadium event needed a public presence: a clear identity, a website, and a way to reach ticket buyers. We built it on a budget set one month at a time.

The full program

Brand
A complete identity system built around the client's logo — type, color, texture, voice, and story.
Website
A Squarespace site built from nothing: hero, lineup, tiered ticketing, and shop.
Social
Five channels launched from zero followers and grown to nearly 9,500.
Creative
The full announcement system: 22 "Joins the Stage" cards, host reveals, lineup posters, motion, and a recap series.
Media buying
The Meta program, paced month to month and optimized for reach and traffic.
Merch
A branded Printful storefront — cap and two hoodies.
The build
We were handed a logo. We built the world around it.

We developed typography, color, texture, voice, announcement templates, merchandise, and a website around the supplied mark. One identity carried across the festival’s public presence before tickets went on sale.

What the work taught us

01
Discovery is the metric for a new brand.

Nearly 80% of our reach came from people who didn’t already follow the festival. The campaign reached beyond its existing following.

02
Brand is infrastructure.

We built the identity before buying ads, giving the website, announcements, and paid campaign a consistent look and voice.

03
We measure honestly.

Ticket checkout ran on a third-party platform, so the ad pixel couldn't see sales — which means we make no ROAS or sellout claim. The reported results describe audience growth, reach, and traffic.

Built to last
The brand in use.

We delivered a festival website, brand system, five social channels, and a merchandise store. The site drew ~115,000 visits in its first year.

Year one. And they want more.
See you in 2027.

The festival didn't sell out — it was Year One. But the audience showed up, and they're already asking for the next one. Straight from the community, on the festival's own posts:

"I had the best time!!! Can't wait for next year."

@linda_redzepi

"We all had the best time… the energy, and the love and pride for our culture was amazing. We appreciate all the hard work that made this event possible."

@amandaselabeauty

"It was truly an amazing event!! Rome was not built in 1 day, but this was a great start."
