Brand Marketing that works, to stay front of mind in this face paced and competitive market requires something out of the ordinary.

It all started back in 2016 where we approached by The Human Agency to create something unique for their client Kenwood. Following their brief and combining Fashion Design, Food, Building, Floristry, Body Art & Makeup Artistry into a complete package, we created an unforgettable experience guests could interact with. This project drew on expertise from our large network of artists, specializing in a variety of disciplines and combined them into something never been done before. Our Interactive Art Installations for The Cuisine Good Food Awards was a project we found challenging yet extremely rewarding and opened the doors to brand marketing.

From concept through to completion, our team had the pleasure of working with The Human Agency on this brief. We were heavily involved in the design and creative process to the client as well as the Fairfax Media Events team. These exhibits were to be sponsored by Kenwood so we also had to come up with creative ways to incorporate their branding into our design.
