The story

Hyper-local Meta ad campaigns — segmented across indie-film fans, festival-goers, cyclists, and lifestyle-conscious locals — plus a community bike-ride activation and an optimized landing page.

Results: two sold-out Cleveland International Film Festival screenings — driven by 3,300+ landing-page clicks at $0.20 each and ~67,000 highly targeted reach.

“Working with Peaceful Media was a game changer for A Simple Machine. With a very limited budget, they helped us precisely target Cleveland indie film fans and cyclists, promote a community bike ride, and ultimately fill our festival screenings.”
Mark Hoffman, Director
