    Master Posing in Photography

    EDUCATION & EVENTS / WEBINAR CONVERSION

    Getting people to register was only half the job.

    We rebuilt the journey from signup to showtime. The campaign generated $26,994 in client-reported revenue, with 185 live attendees—up from 56 in the previous session.

    The missed opportunity

    They signed up.
    Too few showed up.

    The previous photography webinar had 165 registrations, but only 56 people attended live. Another 27 watched the replay.

    More registrations alone would not solve the problem. The event needed to stay visible between the moment someone signed up and the moment it began.

    Fashion photography, a recognizable host, and a specific promise: posing, storytelling, and art direction. The original campaign assets made the subject tangible before signup.

    Registration is a beginning, not an outcome

    The project separated registration from attendance as two different problems. The reminder and replay paths can be reused in future webinar campaigns.
