If you are near Cincinnati, you may have seen the name "America's River Roots" pop up recently. It's the region's newest and grandest festival, and it's coming up quick. 🎸 🦞 🍺 ⛴️ Something this big doesn't come out of nowhere. In less than a year, the banks of the Ohio River will transform into the ultimate four-day celebration—a music, food, and culture festival unlike anything this region has ever seen. America’s River Roots Festival will bring the sights, sounds, flavors, and riverboats of our river cities to life, right in the heart of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, as part of America’s 250th birthday festivities. 🎂   Launching a festival from the ground up is like assembling IKEA furniture without instructions or an Allen wrench. America's River Roots needed a captivating, fully functioning website that would not only build awareness and sell tickets, but set the tone for what this festival would feel like: immersive and inspiring. And they needed it fast.  The newly assembled America's River Roots team got word that USDP was the right digital partner to bring aboard for this journey, and our team didn't waste any time getting to work on the plan, designs, and code needed.    When time is short and stakes are high, you don’t overthink—you prioritize. Thanks to consistent collaboration and prioritization, the website launched in just two months. 👊 Here's how the team pulled it off:  - Rapid UX and design: We created templates that balanced beauty with functionality, building on the evolving event brand. - Sanity / Svelte build: A state-of-the-art "headless" website development framework was used to deliver the best experience. - Ticketing integration: We integrated and customized an advanced ticketing platform to make booking boat cruises a breeze.    When the site launched on November 15, the festival hit the ground running: 🎯 - Site traffic has been fantastic and continues to build excitement - Hundreds of thousands of dollars in riverboat cruise tickets have been sold in the first few weeks. Get'm while you can!   - Visitors are signing up for email announcements "We are building momentum in awareness, engagement, and revenue through our website with the implementation of a new design system and the ability to sell riverboat cruise tickets. The team's leadership, work ethic, and passion for the project were a huge asset as we reached our development goals in a very short period of time." 💥 – Chris Horn, Marketing Director Great work Chris and the team. We are grateful for the partnership. See their work in action and order your tickets today! https://lnkd.in/gN7eXR53

// COMPETITION TIME // This week, we wrapped up our September shows with the fabulous Beauty Trends and Innovations Conference at One Great George Street in London. As part of our promotion at this month's events, you may have noticed a few new companions buzzing around. These fuzzy friends, diligently crafted by our 3D design team, are in honour of our new hive queen 🐝 Recent bee developments have seen our Queen "Dottie" replaced with a new Queen (a natural progression); very interestingly, the Bees have allowed Dottie to remain in the hive alongside the new Queen - a process known as supersedure 👑 This means, of course, we have to name our new queen!
