what we did with lyt market:
-
We scouted, selected and and promoted the work of 12 local young artists giving them a chance to showcase their work in a prominent retail setting.
-
We secured a collaboration with Royal Priors Shopping Centre who sponsored the initiative by providing us with an empty shop window.
-
We designed and developed a clear branding strategy to transform a empty unit into an exciting showcase of arts, crafts, design, prints and wearables.
-
We piloted a blended trading model (online and in person) that was both cost effective and innovative, using QR technology to connect the general public to the makers' selling platforms.
-
We invited each maker to a professional photoshoot and created for them dedicated web pages to showcase and sell their works.
-
We devised and rolled out a tailored social media campaign to raise makers' profiles and attract audiences to visit the physical shop.
-
We supported the makers in the set up of the physical shop.
