Founder experience

The brief

Work across the editorial and promotional side of a festival attended by 20,000+, and support its sponsors on site.

The challenge

Give the festival a story rather than a schedule, and make sponsors' spend put the right faces on site.

The approach

Lead with artist stories, and build guest lists with the sponsors so their presence reached influential people and creators.

The delivery

  • Artist interviews across the bill, filmed and written.
  • Guest lists built with sponsors, inviting influential people and creators.
  • PR and news articles through the run-up.
  • Street and content teams briefed and run for Clearmobitel and TapTap Send.

The outcome

Two sponsor activations supported on site, with content the sponsors could use and coverage that outlived the weekend.
