I founded SG Marketing Group in 2023 while in college and developed it into a multi-market live-event marketing agency.

Founder · Strategy, digital execution, promotional operations & creative oversight
Founded in 2023 · Multi-year agency portfolio
SG grew from my work marketing events through WatHeSay Productions, a production company I co-founded that produced large-scale events, digital media, and film/television.
I expanded beyond our own productions to support other production companies, promoters, venues, event organizers, entertainment partners, and artist-related campaigns. My work connected audience development and marketing strategy with the day-to-day operations of getting an event in front of people.

These measures describe different dimensions and reporting periods. Online ticket records are incomplete and do not represent total attendance or lifetime revenue.
SG became an agency brand, an event-discovery channel, and a promotional distribution network. Its social presence brought campaign creative, partner promotions, photography, and recaps into one content hub.
The feed reflects a growing portfolio of event experiences and a place to introduce the next one. Follower count is only one part of that story.
During the supplied 2026 year-to-date reporting period, Meta documented 808,449 Instagram views, including 785,871 organic views and 22,578 views from ads.
The report demonstrates substantial distribution beyond paid promotion. It is a reporting-period snapshot, not lifetime SG performance or a ticket-attribution report.
For larger events, I managed promotional teams, organized street-marketing activity, coordinated radio promotion, and aligned those efforts with organic social, paid advertising, and partner distribution.
Street marketing brought the campaign into relevant communities and target markets. The promotional mix varied by event, with the channels working toward a coordinated final push rather than operating separately.
A framework adapted to each event; not every campaign used every channel.
For selected events, I commissioned photographers and videographers, coordinated their involvement, and managed how the resulting content was used.
They documented crowd energy, venue atmosphere, performers, audience engagement, and key moments. Those assets supported recaps, future promotion, social distribution, and the ongoing development of SG.
The event media shown here demonstrates campaign and content oversight. It is not a claim that I personally photographed, filmed, or designed every asset.
A selection from a broader body of 43+ events. Campaign material and event media show the range of the work; they do not establish exact attendance.
Big Boogie / The Big Party is one of SG’s most extensively documented campaigns, combining social distribution, paid digital advertising, ticket-page traffic, promotional content, and post-event media across multiple dates and markets.
Paid advertising & promotional social distribution
April 24–25, 2026 · Rockford, Illinois
Events recorded 516 tickets and $45,490 in net Eventbrite sales; not ad-attributed totals.
I ran paid advertising for Dracula Productions’ Rockford concerts and distributed promotional content through SG Marketing Group platforms. These responsibilities do not imply that SG owned or produced those concerts.
The Big Party tour’s Rockford engagement needed digital promotion around two concert dates. The work brought together paid advertising and social promotion, with Eventbrite records documenting the overall ticketing outcome.
I ran paid ads for Dracula Productions and promoted the concerts through my own marketing group’s social platforms.
The campaign included event creative and social distribution, with Meta reporting showing link-click and landing-page activity. The displayed creative is campaign material; this case study focuses on my marketing and distribution role.
I reviewed ad metrics alongside Eventbrite ticket sales for both dates. They tell related parts of the campaign story, but the ticketing totals are not presented as purchases directly attributed to my ads.
Across the two dates, Eventbrite recorded 516 tickets and $45,490 in net sales. These are event-level results, not an ad-attributed revenue or return-on-ad-spend claim.
Dracula Productions · Rockford, Illinois · April 24–25, 2026
| Concert date | Tickets | Net sales |
|---|---|---|
| April 24, 2026 | 401 | $36,780 |
| April 25, 2026 | 115 | $8,710 |
A promotional post distributed through my marketing group’s platforms recorded 87,818 views and 1,375 interactions, with 1,238 accounts engaged. These are the supplied post’s snapshot totals, not unique concertgoers or attributed ticket purchases. The report does not establish a paid-versus-organic split.
One supplied Meta ad report records 1,552 link clicks with $200.28 spent, at a displayed $0.13 per link click. The screenshot does not show the ad name or reporting dates, so this is not treated as a complete campaign total or tied to either individual concert date.
Event-level Eventbrite results are not ticket purchases or revenue attributable solely to paid advertising. Online tickets also exclude any unrecorded door or walk-up admissions.
Three separate Meta reports document different pieces of the traffic-generation work. Reporting overlap is not established, so these dashboards are not combined into a master result.
Announcement, awareness, ticket push, final call, event, recap. The post-event story gave the campaign a life beyond the performance and added original media for future social distribution.
Across currently available records for selected SG-supported events. Additional historical records and door admissions are not represented in this total.
Current documentation represents approximately 4,017 ticket transactions: 3,336 across unique historical events, plus 681 across the four distinct newer records below. Repeated events in overlapping historical screenshots are counted once. The two Rockford records are the same 516 tickets already shown above, not another 516.
| Event | Sold / allocation | Gross ticket sales |
|---|---|---|
| Big Boogie Live in Rockford · The Big Party | 401 / 410 | $39,986.22 |
| The Big Party · Big Boogie Live, 2nd Show | 115 / 319 | $9,506.58 |
| Big Boogie Live at Mr. B’s · The Big Party | 119 / 150 | $9,828.21 |
| Jacquees “MOOD 2” Album Release Party | 46 / 100 | $2,680.20 |
The Rockford gross figures correspond to the same April 24–25 events with $36,780 and $8,710 in Eventbrite-reported net sales. Gross and net figures are kept separate. No combined SG revenue total is presented.
Overlapping screenshots are retained as source evidence, not summed independently. Digital presales do not account for all walk-up, door, or onsite payments.
Live-event marketing campaigns across the Midwest and Southeast.
College events, themed parties, and artist-led concerts required different messages and promotional approaches. These campaigns complete an eight-event selection alongside the four featured stories above.

Across the broader operation, I worked alongside production companies, promoters, venues, DJs, artists, photographers, videographers, creative collaborators, and promotional teams. Each contributed distinct responsibilities; collaboration does not imply SG ownership.
