KiSS WHAM BAM Music Festival: Mass-Scale Event Branding
To launch the identity for the KiSS WHAM BAM Music Festival, the creative mandate required an explosive, high-energy visual system capable of dominating massive festival environments and scaling seamlessly across digital, broadcast, and merchandise footprints. The project began with an internal, collaborative design sprint to explore a diverse range of conceptual directions before synthesizing the final brand identity.
To maximize creative input across all major network rebrands and refreshes, I implemented and led a repeatable, team-wide exploratory design sprint within the internal department. This process pooled a diverse range of concepts from the entire team, fostering open collaboration. During the selection rounds for the KiSS WHAM BAM Music Festival identity, my own typographic lockups; engineered in both flexible horizontal and vertical configurations; emerged from this rigorous curation process to become the final official festival logos.
Once the core identity was finalized, the brand framework was scaled into an immersive, multi-stage live event environment. The visual system was translated into high-impact environmental graphics, colossal main-stage digital screen takeovers, backstage experiential touchpoints, and comprehensive wayfinding signage designed to command the attention of thousands of festival-goers in a high-stimulation concert setting.

The festival footprint extended far beyond the venue gates through a coordinated, multi-platform promotional rollout. The high-contrast colour theory and energetic geometry of the brand were deployed across a massive digital ecosystem, broadcast motion graphics, localized out-of-home advertising, and an extensive line of official event merchandise, creating a cohesive, high-velocity consumer touchpoint at every phase of the festival experience.
