Launch campaign

Lately @ Lucid: one launch, every channel

I designed the identity and campaign for Lucid's twice-a-year product launch, built from a few anchor assets every channel could reuse. Registrations rose 68%.

The brief

Before 2024, every feature and product update at Lucid went to market on its own, each with its own campaign of some size. That's a lot of small launches competing for the same people's attention.

So Lucid pulled them together into one bigger launch that happens twice a year: Lately @ Lucid. After two trial webinars went well in 2024, we scaled it up for the spring 2025 event, a virtual keynote on April 3 called "A new approach to accelerate work." I designed the identity and the campaign around it, from the first email to the last breakout.

Anchor assets

The event needed branding people would recognize the next time it came around. I built it from a few pieces: a bold stacked wordmark, an outlined @ that could scale up to fill a background, and a ticker strip of repeating LATELY@LUCID text in blue and violet.

Every channel was built from those pieces. Two rules kept it together: one message per piece, and the call to action is always the most obvious thing on the page.

Email

Email brought in the most registrations. Two invitations went out before the event and one recap after it. A double call to action, with a Register button near the top and another after the agenda, was a main driver. Email registrations went up 55%, to 8,402.

Web and in-product

The event got its own registration page, with the event times and the form front and center. A call-out inside the product, paired with a simple banner on the website, sent people there. Registrations from the product and web went up 82%.

Social

Four animated stories put the date and a Register button front and center. Social had the biggest jump of any channel: registrations went up 124%.

Keynote

The keynote carried the same system on screen: the outlined type for big numbers and countdowns, title cards for each breakout, and lower thirds for every speaker.

The team

A launch like this takes a lot of people. I worked with product marketing, events, email, demand gen, content, PR and comms, video and motion, learning services and engineering.

Every channel went up, but the result I like best is harder to chart: people started to recognize the event by name. That builds trust with customers and shareholders, because it shows Lucid can build valuable products and explain them well.
