Hawaii Tech Week
Our growth campaign for Hawai'i's biggest tech event, and the on-the-ground content that powered it.
1,000 to 1,800+ followers in a single week.
Hawaii Tech Week came to us ahead of their 2026 event. In one week of aggressive, hands-on marketing, we grew their Instagram from around 1,000 followers to over 1,800, nearly doubling their audience right as momentum mattered most.
We did it with a high-volume content push, sharp daily posting, and community-first engagement that put the event in front of the right people across Hawai'i's tech scene.

Jimmy's Drive-Inn
Jimmy Higa opened it in 1954. Every owner since kept the name because Big Island people already knew it.
