Homecoming
Week2026

Six weeks of content built to make homecoming feel like something students, alumni and the wider community are already part of — so the concert is the night everyone shows up to, not the night they hear about after.

How the six weeks run

As soon as UH clears it

Lineup drop

The announcement is the loudest thing we have, so it goes first and everything after it has a name to hang on. One piece teed up ahead of it to give the reveal something to answer.

  • Foam finger mic on the street — cheerleaders asking students who they want to see live, shot at the home opener
  • Lineup reveal video — the answer to the question we just asked, cut with game energy
  • Lineup flyer — the static that gets reposted everywhere

Mid–late September

Nostalgia

Pull in the people who already have a homecoming in their memory. Alumni carry this phase, and it's the softest way to get older Hawaiʻi audiences paying attention to a student event.

  • Alumni storytelling video — one-word answers up top, then favorite memories and how homecoming felt
  • Aloha Stadium chairs — sit down in the old seats at a home game and talk about the stadium
  • Outrigger giveaway — post a throwback photo from an old game to your story, entries collected in an IG story category
  • Throwback flyer — homecoming then and now

Late September – Oct 11

Anticipation

The longest stretch and the one that does the real work. Campus energy, the teams, the vendors and the brands — every piece adds a reason to care and a new audience to borrow.

  • Band and cheer on the lawn — marching band playing while cheer performs, plus Kainoa Carlson on camera
  • Volleyball barcode drops — women's team posting codes around campus
  • Men's volleyball feature — format still open
  • Man-on-the-street collab — bring in local street interview creators to ask homecoming questions
  • Vendor features — the vendors who'll be at the event, so the night has a face before it happens
  • Brand activations — Active by Teal and Sweet Enemy, tied back to their recent UH work
  • Vendor and schedule flyers — what's happening, where, all week

Oct 12–17

Homecoming week

Everything is already shot by now. This week is countdown, presence and coverage — short turnarounds and stories rather than new productions.

  • Countdown flyers — daily, simple, reposted across all three accounts
  • Concert night coverage — live stories from the show as it happens

The week after

Recap

The piece that makes next year easier to sell — to students, to sponsors and to whoever plays the next one.

  • Concert recap video — the night, cut tight
