The Challenge
The key challenge was to modernise the festival’s visual identity and explore new marketing avenues, especially through digital channels, while preserving the well-established brand recognition.
A practical component involved designing a flexible set of templates in Canva, enabling non-design team members to quickly create on-brand content for social media and live event updates—helping reduce costs and marketing turnaround time.

The Solution
Each year, I built on the festival’s core brand and colour palette, introducing a new set of modular, interchangeable graphics tailored to that year’s event. These visual assets were designed to work seamlessly across print, social media, presentations, signage, and animation, ensuring a consistent and energetic festival identity.
This approach preserved brand familiarity while giving each year a unique and vibrant personality, allowing for reusability of signage and reducing production costs.
Campaign strategy was informed by audience insights and performance metrics from previous years. High-performing channels were carried forward and refined, while those with lower ROI were phased out or reimagined.

Gerry, this is absolutely stunning!
The best Caloundra Music Festival artwork I have seen and embodies both the coast and the festival, making it look vibrant and refreshed while still keeping the integrity of the original brand that people have grown to love.
