Placemaking & Events Strategy
We help clients to develop a strategic programme of creative events, one-off immersive experiences and cultural activities, serving their specific business and marketing needs.
This includes community research (survey, behavioural mapping, target counting and interviews), trend reporting, possible cultural collaborations and key stakeholders’ partnerships opportunities. Other covered areas are : the identification of users’ groups, implementation and H&S guidelines including new COVID 19 rules, advise on digital integration and communication for maximum engagement, legacy and ROI.
Event Design, Planning and Production
360 degrees event production, from concept to implementation. Including art direction and design, detailed planning and budgeting, running of all activities. Whether it is a full programme of public events, a product launch, the activation of a venue or a corporate event, we bring the best ideas, team and resources for each production. We make sure the event complies with all necessary H&S regulations and is produced to the highest standards. All our events have arts and culture at its core and integrate where possible elements of the city and of the specific urban environment. We seek to create emotional connections and make each event immersive, inspiring and engaging.
Destination Experiences and Cultural Tours
With a curious eye and a constant search for unexplored gems in the city, we create unique, high-end tailor-made experiences focusing on urban creativity and lifestyle.
In collaboration with hospitality industry players, we enhance their visitors offer by curating walks, tours, unique itineraries and activities focusing on their local area.
Art Direction and Curation
Through our collaboration with a vast network of visual artists, performers, curators, designers and creative thinkers, we create concepts and select the right talent for any occasion: a public art commission, an artistic brand collaboration, an exhibition, a pop-up gallery, an annual festival, a photography competition, physical installation and urban furniture, hands-on workshops and community boards.
Content
We create a local narrative; describe a neighbourhood or a venue story to build on; outline the historical or industrial heritage, curate and feature a selection of venues in the area. Such editorial content is used by our clients for example to highlight their neighbourhood’s attractions. We also produce related video and photographic stories.
Our Street Art tours look at a defining feature of 21st century London where artists from around the world come to paint particularly in Shoreditch streets. Hundreds of pieces by artists as well-known as Banksy, Ben Eine, Roa, Shepard Fairey or fresh as young art students cover the walls. But what is the street art movement about? Where does it come from? Who is doing it? How and why?
We design art galleries and artist studios tours and guided visits of public exhibitions. Typically, these tours explore the art scene of a particular neighbourhood during which participants can discover an inspiring mix of cutting edge contemporary art reflecting the passions of individual gallery owners. We talk about the exhibitions on show, the buildings that house them and the entrepreneurial individuals who play such an key role in nurturing young talents.
London's fantastically diverse food scene and rich food-shop heritage offer constant inspiration. Historic food shops, new concept stores, markets are concentrated in certain areas full of creativity. This is a unique way to discover the exciting and multicultural aspect of the city and to have many tastings along the way.
Curating neighbourhood visits is really our specialty. Creativity is to be found at each corner of London. We have created itineraries in collaboration with artists, writers, art historians and creative experts who have shared the places they like and the venues that inspire them. We explore the hidden gems that will inspire you and remain in your memories for a long time.
