SUMMARY

The 2025 UR Conference, themed “Sanctify,” was a two-day youth event at Love International Ministries, featuring three impactful sessions, two energetic block parties, and a moving baptism night. With a heart for unity and relationships, the conference brought together 6th-12th graders from various youth ministries under the name of Jesus. As the Creative Director, I led the media team to visually capture and share the event’s transformative moments on Instagram, fostering connection and engagement in real time.

THE CHALLENGE

Balancing the fast-paced schedule of a multi-session event with the demand for high-quality, real-time content required focus and efficiency. Directing both video and photo teams while simultaneously editing and posting for Instagram added a layer of complexity. Ensuring the media captured the event’s spiritual depth and the overarching theme of “Sanctify” presented both creative and logistical challenges.

THE APPROACH

I approached the role by being both present and aware, ensuring every moment aligned with the conference’s vision of unity and transformation. Through intentional creative direction, I guided the media team to produce cohesive and impactful content across all platforms. By staying adaptable and focused, I successfully delivered high-quality posts immediately after each session, amplifying the event’s mission and energy online.
