From Digital Ghost to Tech Powerhouse: How BREATHE! Conquered the Convention Scene
Imagine trying to launch a groundbreaking tech convention with zero online presence and only 5 months to pull it off. Sounds impossible, right? That's exactly the challenge Shawn Daniels, CEO of BREATHE!, faced when he came to us.
"I had this vision of a convention that would shake up the tech world, but no idea how to get the word out," Shawn confessed. "It felt like shouting into a void."
The Challenge
Building a Digital Empire from Scratch
BREATHE! wasn't just starting from zero - they were starting from negative. With no website, no marketing data, and no online buzz, they faced a mountain of challenges:
- A completely blank digital slate - no website, no social media, nothing
- Zero historical data to guide marketing decisions
- A ticking clock with only 5 months until launch day
- The need to attract high-profile speakers and eager attendees simultaneously
"Every day that passed felt like a missed opportunity," Shawn recalled. "We were sitting on a goldmine of innovation, but no one knew we existed."
The Solution
A Digital Marketing Blitz
We didn't just offer BREATHE! a website - we provided a complete digital transformation:
1. Lightning-Fast Webflow Website
We crafted a stunning, responsive site that looked like it had been perfected over years, not weeks. "The first time I saw our new site, I got chills," Shawn said. "It perfectly captured the innovation we stood for."
2. Comprehensive Marketing System
We built a lead generation machine, capturing and nurturing potential attendees through every stage of their journey.
3. Cutting-Edge NFT Ticketing
We didn't just sell tickets - we created a buzz with NFT-based passes that became hot commodities themselves.
4. Targeted Meta and LinkedIn Campaigns
We didn't spray and pray - we laser-focused on the tech innovators and early adopters who would make BREATHE! a must-attend event.

The Future
Breathing New Life into Tech Conventions
With their first event a runaway success, BREATHE! is now positioned as the go-to convention for disruptive tech. Plans are already underway for expansion:
- Launching a bi-yearly content platform for tech innovators

"Hidden Blueprint didn't just help us launch an event," Shawn reflected. "They helped us launch a movement. We're not just part of the conversation on the future of tech - we're leading it."
While BREATHE!'s story is unique, the challenges they faced are all too common. Every day, we meet businesses struggling with:
- Outdated or non-existent digital presences

- The pressure to stand out in increasingly crowded markets
But here's the truth: with the right partner, these challenges become opportunities for explosive growth. Don't let another day pass in digital obscurity. Your future audience is out there, waiting to hear from you.
