CLIENT BRIEF
ITV asked us to produce their Summer Talent Parties—two high-profile events hosted at The Ivy Roof Garden in Manchester and The Ivy Restaurant in Leeds, each welcoming around 200 guests. The guest list included ITV commissioners, directors, writers, production teams, and the cast and crew of flagship shows like Coronation Street and Emmerdale. The aim was to celebrate award-winning talent while setting an elevated tone for ITV’s year ahead—both for on-screen personalities and internal teams. The brief was clear: make this year’s events bigger, better, and more beautiful than ever before.
WHAT WE DELIVERED
We embraced the vibrant Ivy setting and amplified it with bold, tropical-themed styling. We created a branded live foliage wall with neon baton lighting—a striking photo moment that quickly became a guest favourite. Structured floral installations, tropical garlands, and table centrepieces brought colour and movement to the space, while bespoke mood lighting and AV added polish and atmosphere.
To ensure a fully branded guest journey, we designed custom printed menus, branded cocktail napkins, poseur tables with vinyls, and Instagrammable styling touches woven throughout the venue. The entire aesthetic uplifted the venue’s existing décor while delivering immersive, premium experiences for ITV’s most recognisable talent and leadership team.

A NOTE FROM OUR TEAM
“Designing for such a dynamic guest list in iconic venues like The Ivy was a total joy. We loved layering brand, beauty, and boldness into every touchpoint. It was about celebrating people, shows, and stories—and we’re proud to have helped ITV do just that.”
