Promotion Strategy

The project supports the event across multiple phases - from the initial announcement through ticket sales and up to the festival itself in October - adapting the UI to each specific goal. The audience response has been phenomenal

By combining the strength of the brand with a thoughtful UX approach, we not only engaged our audience but also made the entire journey - from pre-event discovery to post-event video replays - effortless and intuitive

The New Yorker Festival — mobile experience

Mobile-first experience

On small screens, navigation, schedules, and calls-to-action are prioritized so attendees can browse sessions and complete purchases on the go. Layout and typography scale to preserve readability without losing the New Yorker’s editorial character

Checkout & ticket flows

The checkout experience was designed to reduce friction across the entire purchase journey - from ticket selection and cart management to discounts, payment, and ticket delivery

Particular attention was given to simplifying flows and reducing cognitive load, especially for users purchasing multiple tickets within a single session. Clear progress indicators, validation states, and contextual feedback helped users stay oriented throughout the process, while a mobile-first UX approach ensured a seamless transition from editorial discovery to conversion
