I was asked to volunteer as Brand & Marketing Lead for a much-loved local festival — a bi-annual celebration that brings families and the wider community together for 19 days every June.
With more than 40 events spanning music, theatre, literature, children’s activities, sport, comedy, food and social events, the festival attracts over 10,000 visitors and raises vital funds for local charities and community organisations.
For this edition, I developed the theme ‘Once Upon a Village’, celebrating the power of storytelling and the stories that bring a community together.
I created the festival’s visual identity, designed to capture the magic, imagination and sense of wonder found in storytelling. From there, I developed the wider marketing and communications, bringing the identity to life across social media, press advertising, the festival programme, OOH signage and the website.
It was an incredibly rewarding opportunity to use my creative and marketing experience to help celebrate the community, while supporting the local charities and organisations that benefit from the festival.
