Coventry for Intermediaries Dinner 2025

Objective

At the start of the year, Coventry for Intermediaries hosts an annual dinner to celebrate and strengthen relationships with key industry partners, including heads of networks, corporate account leads, and influential brokers. For the 2025 event at London's iconic BT Tower, I was asked to design the email invitations as well as create animated screen content that would set the tone for the evening.

The brief required staying true to Coventry's established brand identity, specifically incorporating Eko's distinctive illustration style. I developed a bespoke London skyline featuring recognisable landmarks including the BT Tower itself, rendered in Eko's characteristic layered paper-cut aesthetic. The design uses Coventry's brand blue as a striking backdrop, with the white silhouette creating a clean, sophisticated look that worked beautifully.

For the animated screen content, I brought the static illustration to life with subtle, elegant motion graphics. The animation featured gentle parallax movements across the layered skyline elements, with clouds drifting across the scene and carefully timed reveals that drew the eye to key information the event title "Coventry for Intermediaries" and "Dinner 2025". The animation was designed to loop seamlessly across multiple screens throughout the venue, creating an immersive branded environment while maintaining the sophisticated, understated tone appropriate for this high-level networking event. Initial explorations included incorporating radiating soundwaves as a nod to the BT Tower's telecommunications heritage, but the final design focused on a cleaner approach that maintained brand consistency while delivering visual impact.
