Unleashing Creativity: A Recap of Mahdi Shafiei's Epic Meet-Up at The Hub Bengaluru
Hey there, creatives! We just wrapped up one of the most exhilarating events this side of the Equator at The Hub Bengaluru, and guess what? You're about to get the inside scoop!
The Journey Begins
Rewind to June 2, 2024. Our Head of PR fired off what would be a serendipitous cold email to none other than Mahdi Shafiei, the dynamo behind Trifid Media, which has stirred up a storm across the MENA region. After a blockbuster meet-up in Pakistan that hosted over a thousand creatives, we just had to have Mahdi in Bengaluru.
The Prelude: Trifid x THB
Teamwork makes the dream work, right? We joined forces with Team Trifid to cook up some stellar content that set the stage for the big day. The cherry on top? A giveaway that sent the lucky winner all the way to Dubai to bring their creative vision to life with the Trifid squad!
Event Registration Goes Viral
Given our past collabs with Nas Daily and the success of Nas.io in Bangalore, it was a no-brainer to host Mahdi’s registration on Nas.io. And boy, did you guys respond! We hit our 1,500 registrant cap 18 days early and had to upsize our venue pronto to fit in the extra crowd.
The Big Day: July 14, 2024
The D-day was nothing short of spectacular. Sky Terrace at The Hub transformed into a melting pot of 800+ creators buzzing with ideas and inspiration. Mahdi led a panel with the crème de la crème of digital content creators—Achina dived into long-form content, I tackled the nuances of short-form creation, and Venugopal unraveled the nexus between content, AI, and business savvy.
By the Numbers
The stats speak for themselves:
9 million+ Impressions
5 million+ Reach
1,15,000+ Event shares
90,000+ Unique profile visits
Rs 5,00,000/- worth Giveaways
Venue Vibes
Our 13,000 sq. ft. terrace was a creator's paradise. We had everything from state-of-the-art monsoon blinds added last minute (thanks, weather forecast!) to floor seating that matched our laid-back, creative ethos. Not to mention, dual large LED walls ensured nobody missed a beat of Mahdi’s engaging talks.
