Blast

Blast Home Mockup Shadow

Blast is the very first social network based on challenges, that wants you to be yourself without filters.

  • 20kusers from zero
  • 22°on App Store, social
  • 35°on Play Store

We thought to transform the whole landing page into a challenge. The goal is to make the user download the app while having fun.

The client needed a clean and straightforward layout to maximize engagement within the app while keeping it easy and fun to use it.

Blast inverts the popularity trend, where the least popular one will be the first one to be seen with #zero2hero.

Be yourself, filter free with no fear of others judgment. The only place where you can be you

Give a more human touch to your likes with reactions!

Challenge your friend with a OneToOne and see who's going to do the best Blast!

Blast protects original content creators by allowing them to claim their copied challenges.

Blast allows users to contribute to the survey to decide with them who copied whom.

I took care of the whole visual side of the brand, from the tram ads to the hand-sewn mascots.

Strategy and copy together with the marketing team.

BLST notes outside high schools

1 BLST banknotes, the app's currency, with a QR code to download it. Brand awareness right where the audience was, as school let out.

#WinSurf and the Santa Giulia nights

A contest with an iPhone 13 up for grabs, and themed nights in the bars of the Santa Giulia area. Besides roll-ups, banners, flyers and branded balloons, I set up the space myself, props included.

Influencers, the channel that worked best

The influencers were inside the app with their own challenges. I looked after how they came across: spots, carousels, kits and shoots.

At Bounce with the BarbuTeam

Whoever won the challenges on Blast spent a day at Bounce with Giuseppe Barbuto. I filmed and edited every one of those days, so that other Blast users would want to join the next challenge.

We sent Giuseppe Barbuto, Usso96, Alessandro Montesi and Ayub to Iceland. For the trip I animated the route and prepared the content templates.
