Creating A Symphony With The Leeds

News

We are super excited to announce that we are celebrating the win of The Leeds account for their prestigious 20th International Piano Competition.

One of the world’s foremost classical music events, 2021 sees the competition feature the most talented pianists from around the globe. With initial rounds being held at various international venues, the finale is hosted at a grand ceremony in Leeds city centre.  

The triennial event founded by Dame Fanny Waterman in 1963 is steeped in history, and over previous years has attracted over 1 million online views globally in more than 190 countries.

Our team has been brought on board to produce a fresh visual identity for the brand, connecting both the prestige of the competition and the work The Leeds does to bring classical music to a younger audience and the local community.

Our MD Kim Van Elkan said about the win “We’re chuffed to bits to be working with The Leeds team on the branding for their wonderful event and raising awareness of the inspiring work they do in the local community.  I’m very proud of the creative work that the team produced to win the pitch, and we are looking forward to building on this and our relationship together”.

Fiona Sinclair CEO of Leeds International Piano Competition also noted “We’re very excited to be working with Kim and her brilliant creative team - together we’ll show the world that both great design and great pianists are made in Leeds!”

Junior Artworker

Do you want to take your technical skills to the next level and learn from some of the best in the business?  We’re looking for someone with an almost OCD approach to accuracy, someone who prides themselves on always getting things right.

We would prefer you to have some knowledge of Illustrator and Photoshop, but as this is a junior position we are not expecting the earth. Your attitude is what really counts, you’ll need to be methodical and assured with a keen eye for the smallest detail. Someone who will ask questions – no matter how small or trivial they may seem.

There will be lots of training involved regarding types of print, and how best to work with each process. We need someone who will soak up all this knowledge but will crave more. Everyone learns something every day, there’s no resting on our laurels here.

We are a small, vibrant company and as such everyone needs to fit in. We laugh, we joke, we work hard to meet all deadlines. There’s no prima donnas here, you’ll be expected to make drinks and fill the dishwasher, just like everybody else!
