Manchester Based Reform Creative have been commissioned by Contact Theatre, after a creative pitch, to design their season brochure.

Contact is a young, vibrant and colourful venue with seriously cutting-edge theatre which includes dance, music, club nights, drama, comedy and participation work.

Contact are keen to avoid a typical theatre feel, and eager to establish a fresh and funky design. Contact were also looking for ideas of how the information can be presented in a creative way to attract new, young audiences to the venue.

Reform’s solution was to produce a design unique in its format and style. The use of Manchester urban street images were key to the winning piece.

Paul Heaton, Creative Director of Reform, comments

“We are delighted to have won this fantastic project. It was a great creative challenge that we thoroughly enjoyed. Reform are looking forward to a long relationship with Contact in helping them achieve their goals in attracting new audiences whilst maintaining their core values”

Jo Ledwidge, Head of Marketing at Contact adds,

“We were looking for an innovative design solution to a very mixed programme of work for young audiences, and Reform really understood the challenge, and came up with an exciting design that reflects the creative nature of our programme.”
