Kerala Startup Carnival: the signal has changed.

Kerala Startup Carnival 2026 was billed as Kerala’s first two-day residential startup carnival: founders, creators and students on one campus, on 30 and 31 May 2026. Edex Life School hosted it with LEAD Business Incubator at LEAD College, Palakkad. We made the campaign that filled it, and we filmed it.

The job

A new event has no audience yet. The campaign had to make founders and students across Kerala stop scrolling, then give them enough reasons, the speakers, the sessions and two days on campus, to book a place.

What we made

It opened with a teaser: an old television switches channel to the carnival, with one line, “The Signal has Changed!”. A simple “coming soon” idea that makes people stop. Then the line-up: fifteen speakers on one poster, from founders and creators to Kerala Startup Mission, followed by session posters such as the panel “The New Marketing Playbook for AI-Native Brands”. One violet and one layout carry through every post, so the whole run reads as one event.

On the ground

At the carnival we filmed over both days: a founder’s story for social media, and a speaker video podcast with the carnival’s guests, shot on two cameras with separate sound.

What happened next

The carnival ran over both days as planned, and the same two days gave us 33 clips of podcast footage with its speakers.
