The Davies Group was selected as a winner from the 180 plus exhibitors as the best stand design for a small space at BIBA 2008. The project manager Paula Doolan, worked with the designers JET and Co to bring together the key facts of Davies celebrating their fortieth year in business along with the conference theme of Influencing Tomorrow.
The resulting design and stand theme was a ‘timeline’ that graphically depicted the changes in life through culture, fashion, architecture, products and pivotal insurance events. The montage of over 200 images also played a part in the stand competition with 10 trivia questions about iconic and key insurance events over that period. The correct winners were selected each hour and then drawn to receive a bottle of Champagne.
Paula Doolan said “I wanted a stand that didn’t just repeat the same look and message that I knew other exhibitors would also be saying. I wanted something that would be memorable, engaging and fun. Without a doubt our stand achieved just that. Word quickly spread about our Trivia quiz and people couldn’t resist taking part. We made an incredible number of new contacts.”
JET and Co, the Designers, have worked with the Davies Group in repositioning the brand since their recent MBO. This has included the look for the logo, its website, sales material and finally culminating in the stand design at BIBA. The visual impact, clean lines and ‘wow’ factor were selected by the BIBA adjudicators as the best in show.
