Vanguard Bristol City Takeover

Vanguard Bristol City Takeover

As executive producer for the Vanguard x Vans summer activation, I led an exciting, multi-dimensional project focused on raising awareness for the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Working closely with the Vanguard core team, I ensured clear, efficient communication across all project areas, guaranteeing smooth coordination and flawless execution, while keeping everything on schedule and in line with our partners’ objectives.

We created a standout partnership that brought the UK’s iconic streets to life through breathtaking art activations, featuring renowned artists such as Filthy Luker, Gabriel Pitcher, Peace of Art, Conor Harrington, Banksy, and Mau Mau, among others. Local community groups played a crucial role, amplifying the city’s climate action efforts and fostering a spirit of collaboration and diversity.

The collaboration also celebrated Bristol’s renowned street art culture, with an exclusive exhibition at the M Shed, showcasing rare works from some of the world’s most celebrated street artists. Beyond the art, the initiative championed creativity and inclusivity, offering over 100 workshops across the city. One of the standout features was the Campus Skateboarding Skate to Screen Workshop, which empowered young people by teaching them filmmaking skills. This initiative, co-designed with key organizations like Clockwise and Shextreme, was committed to promoting diversity and increasing access to creative opportunities.

This activation was more than just a celebration of street art – it was a vibrant, impactful project that created lasting community change, while fostering a sense of inclusivity, collaboration and culture aligning the brands believe.
