Festival of Marketing 2025

The word ‘festival’ to me means eight pints of cider and Brian Harveying numerous pills in a field in Berkshire. It doesn’t mean hob-nobbing with corporates in Moorgate. Though actually, the venue for 2025 was The Brewery, so maybe it does work.

Speaking of work, I pretty much did everything. Lecterns, lanyards, app screens, the lot. Also a wrap around mobile phone charging station thing. And ‘tombstones’ which sound more goth than they actually are. They’re basically just giant free standing posters. Oh, and there was a massive, 3 metre diameter floor vinyl thing, which was a little bit different. You can also see below a rather ominous searchlight-style animation I made that served as a sort of screensaver on the main screen at the event.

Big shout to my friend Lex who took some pictures of everything in situ. Always nice to see the fruits of your labour. Of course I never get invited to these things to see them IRL. Which isn’t a criticism. Entirely justified, I would say. I mean… what am I going to talk about with these types of people? That said, I’m assuming a place called ‘The Brewery’ has a bar. Still probably not a good idea. I’d just get hammered immediately and turn into Henry Sellars from Father Ted.

Niche reference, but there you go.
