Lamington Drive
A gallery is an ever evolving space – its tone dictated by the artist and the artwork that occupies it. For over two years I watched as Lamington Drive Gallery emerged as a completely unique space with each new exhibition it held.
The challenge of maintaining continuity in such a dynamic space was met with the presence of Lamington Drive’s tone-of-voice, and gentle introductions to the change of pace that came with each new show.
Below you’ll find examples of my contributions to Lamington Drive Gallery’s social media marketing practice.

Installations
Each exhibition is just as much about the artist as it is the artwork itself. In the lead up to a new show I documented the installation process, giving the Lamington Drive audience a look into the behind-the-scenes goings on of the gallery.

Sponsorship
Lamington Drive often aims to mention the sponsorship of companies such as Bodriggy Beer and Young Henrys in ways that were natural, playful or authentic.
Events
When ticket sales for Lamington Drive’s digital drawing classes were dwindling, I took to their Facebook page. The introduction of dedicated Facebook events saw ticket sales immediately jump and resulted in often booked-out classes.
Day to day social media
During each exhibition, daily posts populated Instagram and Facebook to amplify the unique voice of each show, showcase individual artworks and encourage more visitors.
