Overview
The Social Phnom Penh is a community events and media brand in the city. It brings people together through events and tells those stories through content. As Media Production Lead, I work with a five-person media team, so the website had to represent the brand properly and also fit into how the team actually runs things.
The brief
The Social needed a website that feels like the brand: social, warm, and active. It also needed to be easy for the team to update after each event, and it had to sit on top of better data. Attendee info was scattered across spreadsheets, and the team wanted one clear picture of who shows up and who comes back.
Approach
The website itself runs on a data.js content setup, so updating events or copy means editing one file instead of digging through the whole site. The look uses the brand colors (beige, orange, sky blue, green) with scroll animations to keep it lively. Behind the site, I cleaned up the data. Registrations from the old mega sheets moved into a Supabase Postgres database with three tables: events, attendees, and event registrations. From there I built a React operations dashboard (Vite, Tailwind, Recharts) so the team can see their numbers at a glance. Some groundwork came first too, like fixing a duplicate Google Business Profile listing and writing a privacy policy that follows Cambodia’s 2023 Personal Data Protection Law.
Result
The Social now has a live website that matches its brand and is simple to maintain. Cleaning and deduplicating the data left a final list of 207 unique attendees across 14+ events, with repeat attendance tracked. The team has a dashboard to read it and a solid base for sponsor decks, partnerships, and a future NFC membership system.
