VillaGaiety: two venues, one voice.
One flexible identity created for two landmark venues and the productions staged within them.
The brief
VillaGaiety needed one clear parent identity for two iconic venues without flattening their individual character. The system had to support everything from comedy and cinema to international concerts, giving each event room to perform while remaining coherent across hundreds of applications.
Our approach
A brand system for every stage.
We conducted comprehensive market research and stakeholder interviews, then developed a unified identity with full brand and marketing guidelines. The finished system connected every touchpoint, from posters and social content to staff clothing and cinema adverts.
Advertising & print
Hundreds of posters. One unmistakable look.
Poster and flyer design formed the heart of the advertising strategy for events at the Villa Marina and Gaiety Theatre. Consistent branding and messaging connected every promotion across the two venues.
Motion & social
From billboards to the big screen.
We designed motion advertising and animation for digital platforms, billboards and cinema, supported by a consistent stream of social content between shows.
The results
A brand fit for the big names.
- A unified, distinctive identity across both venues
- Enhanced online presence with increased visibility and engagement
- Strong social media uptake, boosting audience interaction and sales
- A brand elevated to stand beside the UK's high‑profile entertainment venues
