TalkTalk are one of the UK’s largest providers of wholesale connectivity, and are well-regarded within the channel. They offer businesses the flexibility, agility, and support they need to stand out from the competition and increase revenue. In November 2022, they joined forces with Virtual1, with an ambition to leverage the power of connectivity and utilise new technologies to meet the ever-changing demands of the industry.
TalkTalk Wholesale Services and Virtual1 are two iconic brands, each with their own distinctive style and tone-of-voice. They were looking to enrich and inspire their partners, showcasing how they can utilise connectivity to enhance their portfolio and leverage new markets. And they wanted to combine their respective brands to showcase a successful, flourishing partnership. To make this happen, they needed to make a splash. That’s where we came in.
We designed, developed, and delivered an event in the heart of London to connect TalkTalk Wholesale Services and Virtual1 in a more meaningful way than ever before. Taking place on May 23rd 2023, the event ran, theatre-style, from midday through to the early evening. Throughout the day we helped to tell the story of their partnership, heard from industry experts, and hosted an award ceremony.
We crafted messages based around the concept of ‘boundless momentum’ — highlighting the partnership’s relentless drive for progress, and the limitless possibilities which arrive from connectivity.
Breaking down key messaging
Animated visuals
Our designers conceived a bold, sophisticated, and vibrant visual style which was applied meticulously across the event. Chevron shapes were implemented across assets to encapsulate the concepts of ‘guidance’ and ‘momentum’, whilst also doubling as a directional tool throughout the event space.
From stunning signage and snappy showreels to branded brochures, awards, lanyards, notebooks, pens, and everything in between — we didn’t miss an opportunity to deliver on our message. And to seal the event’s success, our copy team crafted social posts, e-mails, and other promotional assets.
Event collateral
The event was oversubscribed, with the team exceeding the number of target registrations. And those who did manage to get the hottest ticket in town left feeling informed, engaged, and utterly enthralled.
Most importantly we gave TalkTalk Wholesale Services and Virtual1 a night befitting of their new partnership. With expert speakers, panel discussions and an award ceremony highlighting inspiring work within the industry, we helped show everyone in attendance the power of a connected future.
F6 not only met our expectations on this project — they went above and beyond. They delivered digital materials built around a carefully considered concept, supplemented by smart, engaging copy and creative, vibrant design. Their specialism in the telecommunications industry really shone through. We didn’t have to spend time explaining the terminology or our strategic business goals. They took everything in their stride and acted as a true partner, showing us the path to success and how we could achieve those goals. We can’t recommend F6 enough.
