Helping Ironbridge Valley of Invention boost visitor numbers

The Ironbridge Valley of Invention spans 10 museums and celebrates the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. The team needed a fresh approach to reignite interest and attract new audiences.

That’s where FutureKings came in.

It was exactly the kind of brief we love to get stuck into:

• build awareness of an incredible destination
• highlight the wide range of activities on offer
• create a campaign flexible enough to engage diverse audience segments

An effective and simple solution

Working closely with the Ironbridge team, we used our wide-ranging brand strategy, design and experience skills to create a bold, flexible campaign.

We developed a campaign platform built on the existing brand strategy, and crafted a set of key messages for each target segment and each different part of the attraction. Ensuring the marketing campaign could work across both high-level, brand building and performance or seasonal objectives was another key consideration for the copywriting team.

Our design team used the existing brand guidelines to develop a clear set of creative principles for the campaign. They needed to maximise the distinctive brand assets whilst ensuring effectiveness across a mix of traditional and digital media: out-of-home, social media and display ads.

The resulting campaign focused on bringing the history and excitement of Ironbridge to life by showcasing the experiences on offer.

The results?

A campaign designed to drive engagement and boost visitor numbers, encouraging more people to experience this informative and fun slice of history. View the case study.
