IMCD – K2019 exhibition campaign (including full stand build)
Following a new business drive at In-Cosmetics expo 2019 we were invited to pitch for the IMCD K2019 exhibition stand.
Our integrated offering, championing pre, during and post event activity, objective led attendance, storytelling, user flows, digital first collateral and unique product display, coupled with a sustainably focussed build and strike-down, meant we were appointed within a matter of months. This was a major change for the client given they had been working with their existing stand provider for many years.
We hope you agree the results were spectacular.
Following on from the initial project we have now been appointed for IMCD’s global exhibition portfolio (>60 stands per annum) and are now also picking up brand, video and wider digital projects.

We are not in London – our international clients despite having worked with us for many years still seem to think Manchester is a London suburb.
Despite what you think, Manchester’s average annual rainfall is a mere 806mm compared to the UK average of 1,125mm, so we are not the wettest place in the UK.

Victors in Hale is always a popular choice and never lets you down when it matters.
“Make us a brew” – That’s not a group of people asking you to prepare some ale or beer. That is one person (because ‘us’ means me around these parts) asking you to make them a cup of tea.
