Celebrating 100 Years of Aviation

WEST VIRGINIA’S GREATEST AIRSHOW

A Century of Aviation. A Weekend of Awe. A Full-Throttle Marketing Launch.

The mission: to bring back West Virginia’s Greatest Airshow for the first time in over a decade, while celebrating the 100th anniversary of Shepherd Field — the Eastern WV Regional Airport — and reintroducing the event to a new generation of thrill-seekers, aviation lovers, and families.

LovelyPixels was entrusted with 100% of the marketing and advertising strategy, from the brand buildout to the final ticket sale.

CONSISTENT & CLEAR BRANDING

A great event needs a great visual identity. 

We developed the full brand suite from scratch — logo, typography, color system, and design templates — and carried it consistently across merch, social, ads, signage, and online presence.

We launched a fresh, mobile-optimized website that made ticket purchasing frictionless and intuitive.

With an integrated ticketing platform, t-shirt pre-sales, schedule of events, performer bios, and real-time updates – the site served as the central hub for all airshow information.

The Outcome

The return of the airshow was nothing short of historic.

Thousands gathered to celebrate 100 years of aviation at Shepherd Field, with performances from the Golden Knights, military demos, and elite aerobatic pilots wowing the crowd. From pastel food trucks to C-5 walk-throughs, every corner of the event was packed.

And the numbers? They speak for themselves:

Big shows need bold marketing.

This wasn’t just about filling seats — it was about reigniting a legacy and inspiring awe in every attendee, young and old. LovelyPixels was honored to take flight alongside the organizers, the 167th Airlift Wing, and the airport staff to make this a weekend the region won’t soon forget.

Cheers to the next 100 years.
