LAUNCHING THE FIRST EUROPEAN EDITION OF AN INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL

PROBLEM

The international festival of creativity and technology, South by Southwest (SXSW) is coming to London. Launching in June 2025, the event requires a campaign to both generate excitement, educate and drive sign ups.

SOLUTION

Our approach is based around a simple but strong insight about the festival. While other creative events - of which there are many in London - celebrate work that has been, SXSW London celebrates work that is yet to be. It’s a festival of unknowns. Leaning into the unique vibrancy of SXSW, which results in programming where disciplines and sharp minds meet. At the same time, bringing a distinctive European flavour that differentiates SXSW London from its Austin-based sister event.

CREATIVE

Influenced by the shops, markets and street life of East London, where SXSW London will take place, the campaign embraces an eclectic visual world, clashing typefaces and the brightest fluorescent colours. Messaging is constructed by pulling from all creative disciplines that the festival brings together and the different languages spoken in the European markets that SXSW London wants to attract. The posters are designed to be tiled in various configurations on billboards, in groups or individually. Dynamic animations further bring this culture clash to life across social media and star-studded video content, featuring a soundtrack by Jamie XX, which can be found here.
