✦ The Story

Unmistakably theirs, completely Riviera.

A global data company took Cannes Lions to the water. For a client program hosted dockside and aboard a private yacht, the brief was a world that felt unmistakably theirs yet completely at home on the Riviera — an identity elastic enough to scale from a throw pillow to a registration site, and warm enough to carry a client dinner.

The Brief

One event identity for a dockside and on-yacht client program: signage, soft goods, invitations, a registration experience and the deck that sold it — all speaking with one accent.

The Solution

Three concept territories explored, one chosen and rolled out across every touchpoint — from the bow of the boat to the confirmation email — elastic in scale, consistent in voice.

✦ Concept Territories

Three concepts, presented for consideration.

Territories explored before the client selected a direction — each a complete world: palette, type, pattern and the feel of the week it would create.

✦ Event Identity

One world, from bow to business card.

The chosen direction, built out into a complete identity — flexible enough for a sail-sized banner and precise enough for a place card.

✦ Invitation Web Page

The party starts at the RSVP.

A responsive invitation page that set the scene weeks before the gangway — a live countdown to happy hour, the where and when at a glance, the speaker panel with faces, and one button to save your spot. Spots were limited; the page made sure no one forgot.
