As part of our on-going B2B PR agency programme for global creative consultancy Lippincott, Simpatico PR was tasked with developing a creative approach to support Lippincott's sponsorship of the London Design Festival. 

B2B PR would be needed to drive footfall to the company’s LDF exhibition; “Like me: Our Bond with brands”, within the London Design Museum and build thought-leadership exposure around the event.

We pin-pointed a central question that Lippincott’s exhibition posed: “Who’s branding who?” are brands influencing consumers or is the opposite the truth?

This themed fueled:

The exhibition content including interactive elements

A C-suit panel discussion including Lippincott clients

Exhibition social media and brochures

Event publicity design to drive footfall

On-going thought-leadership media relations

The event proved so successful with corporate and consumer audiences that Lippincott restaged “Like me” in New York and San Francisco.

As well as receiving top billing in Creative Review’s round-up of exhibitions to see at the London Design Festival and a double page spread in The Independent exploring the exhibition themes, listings coverage included:
