Kahuna Surfhouse

How we promoted Kahuna Surfhouse and the King of Kite festival, reaching 230K+ people and 1.65M+ impressions.

About the Project

Kahuna Surfhouse is more than just a surf school; it is the heart of kitesurfing culture in Cyprus. We partnered with them to scale their signature event, "King of Kite," transforming it from a niche competition into a major lifestyle festival. Our mission was to expand the event’s reach beyond the kiting community, attracting a fresh, high-energy crowd of non-kiters and beach lovers.

Our Creative & Design Scope

We took full control of the event’s visual and strategic lifecycle. Because this was a live event, our design and content had to work in the digital world and the physical world simultaneously.

  • Full-Scale Branding: We designed all on-site assets, including banners, beach flags, and vouchers, ensuring the Kahuna brand was visible from every angle of the beach.
  • Storytelling for the "Non-Kiter": We produced high-quality Reels and content specifically designed to appeal to people who don't kite but love the lifestyle, focusing on the music, the DJs, and the party atmosphere.
  • Real-Time Coverage: During the event, our team provided live content coverage, pushing out same-day updates to drive "last minute" attendance for the finals.

Advertising Strategy

Our strategy was built on momentum. We didn't just run ads; we created a "countdown" effect across the entire island.

  • The Phase-Out Method: We started with awareness content to warm up new audiences, then ramped up ad spend and posting frequency as the event date approached.
  • Multi-Channel Reach: We leveraged Meta (Instagram/Facebook) for visual hype and Google Ads (YouTube, Gmail, and Discover) to capture a broader audience across Cyprus at a low cost.
  • Frequency & Visibility: By maintaining high ad frequency, we ensured that Kahuna was the most visible lifestyle brand in Cyprus in the weeks leading up to the event.
