The Magic of Christmas with Nottingham BID

Its levy payers are businesses and organisations in the retail, leisure, office and education sectors within a defined area of Nottingham city centre – the BID Area.

After many missing out on the festive season last year, and the build-up that comes with it, Nottingham BID wanted to create a city-wide campaign that helped the people of Nottingham feel that festive spirit—a reminder of how magical the season is as families, friends and loved ones come together to celebrate.

We went to work with copywriting to create celebratory copy lines alongside the theme of “Discover the Magic of Christmas” which were connected to different areas around the city.

The messaging needed to shout about everything Nottingham has to offer, from the recently refurbished Castle, big high street brands in Victoria Centre and places like Hockley, Sneinton and numerous venues, great bars and restaurants and entertainment.

Modernising and reinvigorating a concept previously used by Nottingham BID, it visually represents the warm, magical sense that comes with the festive season—the twinkling of fairy lights, the warm, golden hue offset against the evening drawing in, with some assets offering a subtle background of notable locations around our city.

Creating just over 60 digital and print assets, the campaign covers online and offline channels, from social media to web banners, to bus advertising. All assets were made available to the Nottingham BID upon completion so that they could take the artwork and further edit with more messaging specific to the campaign.

It’s always a pleasure working with the Nottingham BID and we’re delighted to see our campaign work drawing people into the city we all know and love.
