Ultra South Africa 2026

A three-phase content rollout for South Africa's biggest electronic music festival — three months of pre-event hype, ten high-end live pieces captured in a single day at the Johannesburg activation, and an aftermovie that kept Ultra in the feed long after the speakers powered down.

The brief

Build 3 months of hype. Deliver 10 high-end live pieces in one day. Drop an epic recap within 24 hours.

Ultra South Africa needed pre-event content that ramped audience expectation across the months leading up to the festival, plus a high-end live content team on the ground at the Johannesburg activation — the key destination this year — to deliver ten polished pieces in a single shoot day, then an epic recap film in feed within 24 hours of the show closing.

The challenge: keep the energy that makes Ultra feel like Ultra across every drop, from a teaser three months out to the final Monday aftermovie.

What we did
  • 3-month pre-event hype campaign — weekly drops across IG and TikTok
  • Single-day live content shoot at the JHB activation, the key destination this year
  • 10 high-end live pieces shot, edited and posted same-day
  • Epic recap film delivered within 24 hours of the festival closing
  • Cutdowns and platform-spec edits for paid social rollout
