Lightroom Stories – Inviting amateur photographers to share their summer.

The challenge.

Through autumn and winter, reaching an audience via a digital campaign is often made easier, purely by the fact that people spend more time inside, glued to a screen. But how do you engage them in summer, when they’re out and about?

This was our focus when creating the next phase of our Lightroom Stories campaign. A series we developed to inspire amateur photographers to use Adobe Lightroom – by showing how people they admire and follow on social media use it as a critical part of their own image creation process.

Hot days, cool images.

The solution was this ‘Share your Summer’ campaign. A combination of inspiring high-quality online films focused on key influencers and follow-up tutorials executed by the photographers themselves. We also created a lively landing page and social media posts encouraging amateur photographers to get the best out of Adobe creative tools – and produce pro-quality pictures of their own.

A winning result.

The icing on the cake was giving the audience a chance to post their own before and after shots on Instagram – for a weekly chance to win a drone and a Creative Cloud Photography plan subscription for a year.

This helped the campaign achieve over 2,980 entries in the contest with a 2.3M social reach. Whilst 45,000 visits were made per week to the webpage.
