A 200-year-old icon. Reborn.
Band on the Wall is a multi award-winning concert venue, centre for music education and touring producer.
Talking Programme.
For seven years as Head of Marketing and Communications, our Creative Director Simon Webbon devised and oversaw the marketing and communications strategy for a year—round programme of live music, learning and participation programmes and national tours for artists from all over the world, taking place at Band on the Wall’s showcase venue in Manchester and at concert halls across the UK. This encompassed overseeing all activity across core brand, marketing strategy and digital.
We’re proud to still work with the venue, overseeing strategy and campaign management for Band on the Wall’s large scale touring programmes at venues across the country and anchor concerts at the Manchester venue.
Rebirth and Rebrand.
Band on the Wall reopened in Spring 2022 following a multimillion-pound restoration and expansion project. We oversaw all advertising and communications strategy for the campaign, managing PR, design, web, digital and street marketing teams.
Working with our friends at local design studio Instruct, we project managed a hugely successful rebrand to mark the relaunch, bringing the visual identity of a historic cultural organisation tastefully up-to-date, while being sensitive to the client’s 200 year heritage.
From Manchester, to Everywhere.
Band on the Wall is known to millions as a historic Manchester music venue, but a big part of its operation is bringing artists from around the world to venues across the UK, from small 100-capacity basements through to huge concert halls packed with thousands of fans.
We’re working with the client to oversee all advertising planning and marketing implementation on large scale national tours across the country, including design, media buying, social strategy, content management and creation, and stakeholder communications and reporting.
We’ve successfully delivered campaigns on thousands of concerts and tours, with world-renowned artists including Snarky Puppy, Cory Wong (Vulfpeck), Billy Bragg, the Craig Charles Funk & Soul Club, Mr. Scruff Keep it Unreal, Hot 8 Brass Band, Lady Blackbird, Alfa Mist and more.
