Festival Branding
We’ll work together to breathe life into the identity of your festival with compelling visuals and strategic storytelling. I recognize the significance of crafting a memorable brand that resonates with your audience. With a thousand and one festivals on at the moment, visual storytelling becomes a vital contribution to the experience of your attendees!
From vibrant palettes to captivating graphics, we collaborate closely with you to capture your festival's essence. Imagine hosting a visually recognisible event where attendees instantly connect with the concept and are eager and willing to reattend in future.

Why festival branding is important
-
I help your festival stand out in a competitive market by creating a unique and memorable brand identity that sets you apart from the rest.
If your festival is distinctly recognisible year on year, you’ll build the invaluable brand equity that helps create a cultural event, rather than just a concert.
-
I believe that every festival has its own personality, and I work closely with you to capture that essence in your brand design. Whether your festival is lively and energetic or laid-back and relaxed, I create visuals that reflect the personality of your event and resonate with your target audience.
-
I help you connect with your audience on a deeper level by creating visuals that speak to their interests, preferences, and emotions.
By understanding your target audience and tailoring our design approach to their needs, I help you forge meaningful connections that drive engagement and loyalty.
-
I believe that branding is more than just a logo – it's a holistic experience that encompasses every touchpoint of your festival.
From promotional materials to on-site signage, I ensure that every aspect of your brand experience is cohesive, immersive, and unforgettable.

The Design Process
1. DISCOVERY SESSION
Embark on our journey with a Discovery Session where we'll have a friendly chat! Before our meet-up, I'll send over a brand questionnaire to get those creative gears turning. During our session, we'll delve deep into your brand, exploring its uniqueness, needs, and aspirations. From your vision and values to your target audience and mission, we'll cover it all. Together, we'll outline precisely what you're looking for, setting clear expectations for the adventure ahead.
2. RESEARCH
Next up, it's time for Research. This is where I don my detective hat and sleuth around to scope out your competitors. I'll investigate what they're up to and how they're making waves in the market. Armed with these insights, I'll craft a plan to create branding that'll captivate your target audience, ensuring you stand out from the crowd.
3. DESIGNING
Now comes the fun part—Designing! Let the creativity flow as we bring your brand to life. From crafting logos and curating colour palettes to selecting typography and designing backgrounds, icons, and patterns, we'll work together to create something truly special. Throughout this stage, we'll have regular catch-ups to discuss progress and tweak things until they're just right.
4. DELIVERABLES
Finally, it's time for Deliverables. Cue the drumroll! Your shiny new assets will be securely packed and delivered via Google Drive, ensuring easy access whenever you need them. I'll provide your goodies in JPEG, PNG, SVG, and PDF formats as standard. If you've got a hankering for another format, just give me a holler, and I'll make it happen!
