Yoko Lookbook
Bridging art, fashion and consumerism with the creative direction and design of Yokollection's artist book Spring/Summer
Creative direction and design for one of Europe’s leading dance companies
World-renowned dance company Rambert has a history dating back to 1914. Benoit Swan-Pouffer joined as artistic director in 2019, challenged with bringing a fresh perspective and vision.
Rambert approached us to work on the creative direction and design for their 2019-2020 campaign to mark this change.
It was our role to help Rambert engage with new, younger, audiences, excite existing audiences and reflect Rambert's new vision as an organisation through their 2019-2020 campaign.
Working with Rambert's artistic director, senior management and marketing team, we developed the creative concept, developed the visual direction and designed all billboards, posters, fliers and online ads for the campaign alongside the printed programme.
Working together like a ping pong game, back and forward through lots of sharing we pinpointed key words and topics which the campaign should encapsulate: Movement. Unconventional. Off-Kiltr. Classic but in your face. Modern Art Museum feeling. Editorial. Stark. Clean. Contemporary. Archive.
For Rambert, it was important to create something which was: "Modern and experimental but honours the past.” Benoit Swan-Pouffer, Rambert artistic director
The campaign allowed Rambert to make an impact with their 2019/2020 campaign as the “most radical change the organisation has seen in eighty years” and improve perception as a contemporary forward-thinking organisation.
The work received strong support from Rambert’s artistic director, senior management, staff, dancers and stakeholders.
All objectives were successfully achieved, with engagement from new younger audiences and continued attendance from existing audiences at sell-out performances.
