Given the fast-paced nature of the event, content needs to be posted in real-time without compromising on quality. To streamline execution and maintain consistency, we will develop a template-based system for social media posts that allows quick customization during the event. These templates will be pre-designed for key content types (game highlights, MVPs, team updates) and can be easily updated with relevant details in real-time.
Objectives
Rapid Content Production: A designated social media team will manage content creation and posting using the template system, ensuring quick turnaround times and consistent branding across all platforms.
Pre-scheduled Content: Some content will be pre-scheduled in advance to ensure that updates are consistently pushed out during quieter times.
Mobile-First Approach: To capture real-time moments, the team will rely on mobile devices for on-the-go content production (photos, videos, stories) and immediate sharing across social platforms.
