In a particularly busy few months for the exhibition industry, last month saw one of Nest’s largest events for 2015, BDIA Dental Showcase held at the NEC Birmingham. The team delivered five stands, for a mixture of existing and new clients.
While some clients, such as Kerr and DPAS, deciding to create a new look on their stand designs for 2015.
Others such as Septodont, who Nest have been working with for five years, happily brought back their previous offering and for BDIA on the stands second install.
All clients at the show had dedicated project managers to ensure that every detail was met and they could be on hand to assist and advise throughout the process, before, during and after the exhibition.
For the last three years, PubMatic has exhibited at the leading digital marketing conference, dmexco.
Building on previous years, the brief this year was to make the stand the best stand yet.
Nest were appointed for the first time in 2015.
The space had a colour changing and speaker system element that created a ‘happy hour’ drinks, providing a great opportunity for networking.
The theme for 2015 was “GET AHEAD OF REAL TIME” this inspired a dynamic look to the stand and being bold with this messaging behind the bar reception area.
Two semi enclosed meeting spaces we designed for quiet meeting spaces and the open lounge to the front of the stand was used for more relaxed meeting’s and sit-down drinks.
Overall both the design and delivery raised the bar for PubMatic and we are pleased to be working with them again at the Mobile world congress in Barcelona.
Otterbox, who are recognised as the leading innovators in protective covers for handheld technology, attended IFA Berlin 2015 and we were delighted to be working with them again to deliver this aspect of their marketing campaign.
The stand, split into 2 halves, represented Lifeproof products on one side and Otterbox products on the other. The challenge from a design perspective was to create a space where the two brands could sit side by side and compliment each other, whilst retaining their own identity and message.
Another key focus was to create strong imagery of products ‘in action’, to grab the attention of passers by.
We also integrated ‘selfie stations’ where visitors could take photos whilst stood on 3D floor graphics of their feet, dropping phones in Otterbox cases, giving the illusion that their phone had fallen off the edge of a staircase or off a cliff. This portrayed the strength of the cases. The photos could then be shared using a hashtag on social media, creating an online campaign.
The overall feel of the booth was fun, impactful and very professional.
Nest are already talking about the next event with Otterbox!
We recently delivered an easy to install and transport event solution for Lifeproof and Otterbox. Each install would follow high adrenaline and fun events around the world. The set-up was transported in bespoke crates and installed by the client.
Our design solution was to use bespoke inflatable structures that are quick to setup, with several interactive and colourful zones including selfie zones, chill out areas and colourful product displays.
Nest was approached by existing client Flogas after working on numerous projects together. The brief was to design and fit-out an executive box at Villa Park Stadium, ready for the first game of the 2015-16 season.
To achieve this look, Nest incorporated a feature wall with subtle logo silhouettes and a spaced off acrylic logo, executive style furniture and general decoration. All to be kept on brand and to a high quality finish. Take a look at the results.
Nest Studios recently completed the latest Spirit of Lifeplus event in Stuttgart.
This was a total event solution organising every aspect of the event for 7000 people arranging AV, Sound and lighting, delegate management, design of set and exhibition plus all build, catering for 950 people on Friday and 2900 on Saturday show party with entertainment and staffing for both days.
Look out in our portfolio in the coming weeks on a full case study.
Nest Studios has expanded their project management team this summer by appointing new PM, Stephanie Reed.
Since graduating from Coventry University Steph has built a diverse career in the event industry. She has worked in catering and hospitality, organised several public events (including three annual Food Festivals and Christmas Ice Rinks) and more recently project managed the delivery of several exhibition stands at some of the UK’s largest outdoor trade shows and Sporting events.
With an understanding of the different aspects and stakeholders involved in bringing a project together for completion and meeting client satisfaction, Steph will be a great addition to the team.
Steph said “I’m looking forward to working alongside all those at Nest to deliver some exciting, cutting edge projects with a fantastic design and operational team”.
Building on the success of last years show PhD asked our team to go even bigger this year. So, we raised the height of both the PhD Women and PhD Nutrition structures and upgraded the finishes to include satin metal finishes which reflected the product packaging.
Nest worked with 3 existing clients for BETT this year – Pearson Education, WCBS and BLOXX.
This was our third year working with Pearson and our second year with WCBS and BLOXX.
Pearson required a new approach this year, creating a social media hub and it was all change for WCBS, from a shell scheme last year to a free build this year.
