Vista were appointed to create a pop-up environment for LinkedIn at this year’s Festival of Marketing. The event, which took place on 5-6 October at Tobacco Docks saw the full-service agency deliver a ‘LinkedIn Content Studio’.
The space was designed with the objective of changing people’s perception of what LinkedIn as a social platform can deliver, outside of being used as a recruitment tool. The environment was an interactive and engaging space, with a webcast corner for delegates to listen to podcasts from LinkedIn with each podcast hosted by Jason Miller, Global Content Marketing Leader, LinkedIn.
Becky Harmer, events manager EMEA, LinkedIn, said: “This was the first time LinkedIn has attended the Festival of Marketing and we wanted to create a really special experience for delegates visiting our space. Vista created and delivered ‘The LinkedIn Content Studio’ which not only showcased key messaging but also provided a space for delegates to meet and interact with our experts in a truly unique and exciting environment. Vista considered our brand values and key objective at every step of the process; we couldn’t be happier with the finished result.”
James Wilkins, managing director, Vista added: “Working with LinkedIn to create this customer experience has been fantastic. LinkedIn is a tool that is acknowledged globally for introducing professionals to each other, this environment allowed the brand to showcase additional services some of its users were not aware of.”
