Inaugural RGS Expedition and Fieldwork Festival
Planning and delivery of the inaugural Expedition & Fieldwork Festival for the Royal Geographical Society — a multi-day programme of lectures, panels, workshops, exhibitions and film screening - bringing together explorers, scientists, and the public to celebrate and share the latest in field research.

Marketing strategy
I developed and executed a comprehensive marketing plan that positioned the festival as a flagship RGS event, reaching both core members and new audiences. My work spanned both strategic marketing and hands-on event production, ensuring the festival launched with maximum visibility, smooth operations, and a lasting legacy.
This event strategy involved:
Crafted the festival brand identity and visual assets in line with RGS guidelines.
Designed and launched dedicated festival website pages, including schedules, speaker profiles, and ticketing information.
Created online exhibitions to mirror the in-person displays, enabling global audiences to engage with festival content remotely.
Produced high-quality print materials to guide attendees and enhance the visitor experience.
Built an integrated marketing campaign spanning email, social media, press outreach, and industry partnerships.
Created engaging digital content, including event trailers, speaker profiles, and video teasers to drive anticipation.
Established KPIs for reach, engagement, and ticket sales, monitoring and optimising campaigns in real time.
All these combined delivered high advance ticket sales, engagement throughout and after the festival and a distinctive festival identity that can be used for future editions.
