Exhibitor marketing guide

Exhibitor marketing guide

Welcome to your marketing guide for Clerkenwell Design Week 2024: a quick-reference page to help you make the most of your involvement in the festival. Below you'll find an overview of this year’s event, an outline of how we work to support and promote you, those all important deadlines and key contacts alongside a list of suppliers we’re happy to recommend.

In 2024 Clerkenwell Design Week (CDW) will host its 13th edition. It’s a chance to highlight the area as London’s creative hub for design, creativity and culture.

Marketing checklist

With so much activity and exciting new content taking place during #CDW2024, it is key that you market your presence effectively to help you stand out from the crowd. Here are a few pointers:

1. Show guide listing & online profile

This year you can upload all content via the E-zone. You will receive login details for this directly via email. It is imperative that you complete both your show guide listing and online profile. CDW's website is the most up-to-date source of information for visitors before, during and after the show whilst the printed guide is a handy resource for visitors during and after the festival.

2. Social media & imagery

Send us pre-approved posts to support your activity, we can schedule these in advance to ensure your activity is supported. Always tag CDW on the relevant platform and use the hashtag #CDW2024 to maximise exposure. Be sure to provide the team with a range of eye-catching imagery such as colourful shots and products in-situ, these are more likely to feature in our e-newsletters and resonate with press.

3. Product launches

Provide concise information on any product launches you are planning during CDW. Try to let us know as early as possible as this is likely to secure more coverage.

4. Market your event

Be sure to let your clients know about your activity at CDW. A personalised invitation, banner or advert will stand out in visitors minds and cut through the noise. Make full use of the marketing assets available in the E-zone and include a personalised registration link to engage with data before the show has even started!
