Executive Summary

Designing a high-performance voting and registration portal on Next.js, and executing newsjacking campaigns to drive viral search traffic.

The Challenge

Inspira Awards needed an online platform capable of handling traffic spikes during awards nomination and public voting phases. Their previous portal was slow and crashed during voting spikes, leading to candidate complaints.

The Solution

We engineered a static-first Next.js voting application. We built a serverless API system, optimized their image assets using next/image, and launched a digital PR campaign that placed links on high-DA event industry domains.

Technical Execution Highlights

✓Optimized voting flows using React Server Actions and Edge Database caching.
✓Configured global CDN media delivery to cache dynamically loaded nominee headshots.
✓Launched a news outreach campaign targeting national entertainment editors.
