Described as one of the best retro and vintage events around the world, Vintage by the Sea is co-curated and produced in partnership by Deco Publique with Morecambe-born Wayne Hemingway MBE and Gerardine Hemingway MBE.
We were brought on board in 2019 to highlight not only the main festival but to promote their new series of original arts commissions to a local, regional and specialist arts audience. We created and developed relationships with key media targets to build awareness and support
and despite having a relatively short lead in time and poor weather over the event weekend, coverage appeared in advance of the festival and throughout.
We worked closely with national picture agencies and regional radio during the festival weekend, resulting in images from the instaworthy event reaching across the world and on-site live interviews and reaction to the festival broadcast across the region as thousands of people descended on the Lancashire seaside town.
