7 Event Content Ideas to Steal from Coachella

7 Event Content Ideas to Steal from Coachella

Most Businesses Only Get One Video—Then Miss the Moment

You plan an event. Hire a photographer. Maybe get a recap video a few weeks later.

That’s fine.

But it’s not enough.

Meanwhile:

  • The Masters posted 33 times in a single day
  • Coachella dropped 50+ pieces over one weekend
  • Wimbledon shared over 1,000 posts during their last tournament

These aren’t just posts—they’re intentional moments designed to be filmed, clipped, and shared. The content is baked into the event.

We’re not saying your business needs to go viral. But you can get more value from your events with a few small adjustments.

The secret? Planning for content from the start—and capturing it smartly.

Build a Simple, Repeatable Content Strategy

At JSB Video, we work with business owners, marketers, and event organizers who don’t have massive budgets or full in-house teams. What they do have is a desire to make their events work harder—and we help them do just that.

This strategy works for more than just music festivals or sporting events.

It can elevate all kinds of business and community events, including:

These aren’t just gatherings. They’re opportunities to create weeks’ worth of content—if you plan for it.

Even a 3-hour business luncheon can yield:

  • 1 highlight video
  • 5 short-form reels
  • 2 interviews
  • Behind-the-scenes footage
  • Client soundbites
  • Social photo dumps

Even with a half-day shoot, you can walk away with:

  • A highlight reel
  • 2–3 short videos for social
  • A mini-interview
  • Behind-the-scenes b-roll

It’s not about filming more.

It’s about filming smarter.

🎬 7 Content Ideas You Can Actually Use

(And You Don’t Need a Festival Budget to Do It)

1. Quick Photo & Video Recaps

You don’t need a multi-cam team. A single videographer and a phone-savvy assistant can shoot real-time clips and photos to post during your event. These go straight to your Stories or carousels while the energy is still high.

2. Simple Behind-the-Scenes Clips

We’re not talking full-scale vlogs here. Just real, authentic moments: your team setting up, speakers prepping, guests arriving. This kind of content builds trust and shows off the personality of your brand.

3. One-Question Interviews

One question. One minute. That’s all it takes to get a testimonial or fun moment with a client, team member, or guest. No lights or big setup required—just a quiet corner and a good mic.

4. Top Takeaways from Talks

Got a speaker or presentation happening? Clip 1–2 great quotes while it’s live. Add captions, your logo, and a call to action later. These make for strong, snackable thought leadership clips.

5. Stylized “Value Add” Moments

Think: beauty bar touch-ups, live sketch artists, mini product demos, or curated experiences like Travis Scott’s viral cage football. If your event has something engaging, make sure it’s designed to be filmed.

6. Team & Client Spotlights

It doesn’t have to be emotional or overly edited. Just capture someone from your team or a loyal client talking about what the event means to them. 30 seconds. One takeaway. Easy to post, powerful to watch.

7. Pre-Event Hype

Film a quick walk-through or teaser clip the day before the event. Show off the space, preview the setup, and invite people in. This builds buzz and drives last-minute RSVPs.
