  • Top Tips for a 2020 Halloween

    1. Plan some indoor trick or treat hunts and prepare your own frights for your loved ones! 2. Of course, ask your neighbours to display a lit pumpkin jack o’ lantern if they are happy to answer the front door to your witches and hobgoblins... 3. If you’re not trick or treating, dust off your best costume and get down to your local pub to support their Halloween efforts! 4. Make sure that confectionery or biscuit treats are pre-wrapped and sealed either commercially or, if homemade produce eg homegrown apples, are sanitised the day before and packaged in hygienic conditions ;-) 5. Have we mentioned that #virtualevents are rather popular at the moment? Gather your tribe and host a virtual costume party - Plenty of fun and games (and homemade cocktails) to enjoy! 6. It can be fun to include an unexpected trick in the treat package – a plastic fly, or eyeball or bat … but choose your tricks wisely depending on the age of your visitors! 7. If you (the adult of the house…) really gets into the spirit of spookiness, do remember that in real life small children can be traumatised by too frightening a character, especially one on a broomstick, or bearing a bloodstained axe... 8. If you have a pet indoors, please lock them in a safe, quiet familiar environment on the evening of the 31st October. There is an increasing trend to let off fireworks at Halloween, supposedly in the run up to 5th November, Guy Fawkes Day. It is illegal to throw or let off fireworks (even sparklers) in the street or other public places between the hours of 11pm and 7am – except for 5th November, also known as Bonfire Night, when the cut-off is midnight. Unless you’ve witnessed New Years Eve in Amsterdam of course! 9. If you are having an “adult” Halloween celebration, remember to follow the current guidelines in celebrating within your household. No-one wants a £10K fine. Use fake blood with a sense of responsibility – no-one wants to add to the burden on our NHS. 10. If you think the whole thing is “Bah,Humbug” (sorry, wrong celebration) – the least you can do is to get into the spirit of the thing by displaying a poster politely informing small bands of marauding toddlers that you are NOT offering treats, tricks or anything else so please don’t ring the doorbell … but have a “Happy Halloween”! We hope you have a wonderful Halloween, share with us your stories and best costumes if you dare!

  • Colourpoint

    City Point, the 36 storey landmark tower in the City of London, is hosting an innovative installation as part of the creative partnership between developers Brookfield and our events agency. The colourful installations at Colour Point offer a sheltered as well as sunny spot to take lunch, read a good book during lunch break, or simply to watch the world go by at pavement level, after enjoying the panoramic views from the tower. Perspex-coloured acrylic frames have been used to create a stained glass effect, stretched over a brightly coloured geometric astro-turf flooring design. The spaces offer the perfect spot to sample takeaway food or drinks from nearby eateries and soak up some summer sun. Just don’t feed the big Hedge Bear, a humorous touch and perfect for selfies. Sited at the foot of the City Point Tower, the installation will provide a splash of colour for workers, retail outlet clients and the commercial residents of the iconic building including Simmons & Simmons, SquarePoint Capital, Flextrade,  BAM Construct, Seyfarth Shaw, United Trust Bank, Winston and Strawn Property, Willkie Farr and Gallagher, Cravath Swaine & Moore, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, Spaces, Duane Morris, Toppan Merrill and naturally the home team at Brookfield Properties. Tanya Clark, CEO of Kit & Caboodle, says “There’s a feel-good factor to splashes of colour in an urban landscape. We can’t claim that a few minutes relaxing in the Colour Point installation will reduce stress, boost energy levels or promote concentration. We do believe, though, that intelligent urban placemaking can impact favourably on wellbeing and help to bring fun back to the streets of the City.”

  • Honda Frankfurt Motor Show

    “If we never venture into the unknown, how do we get anywhere new?” We were asked to create an experience which would deliver the best possible platform to launch the Honda Civic. Our experiential marketing concept had to deliver something that would truly stand out from the crowd, give guests and event experience like never before whilst ensuring that key media figures would be talking about the launch for weeks to come. We made sure that we delivered a conversation that would allow guests to take away key Civic messages whilst engaging in an experience which 'steals the media hour'. Honda Civic drivers want to venture into the unknown and experience new things, we had to make sure that this was translated in our approach to their audience. Our services included creative event concept, design & production for Honda civic car launch at the Frankfurt Motor Show. By taking Honda's core company values of discovery, featuring bold graphical cues and an accomplished technical reveal of a suspended car. The car was suspended 70 feet above the heads of the guests, and after this unique entrance, the car became the star of the show. We worked with technical partners to deliver a show-stopping event for Honda on behalf of Amplify. Clever directional clues and messaging to guide the international press around the 8 event spaces, including a bespoke designed cinema, terrace and grand atrium where the car was revealed. The event set the standard at Honda, for presenting new cars to the media. At the event, the car was revealed to 400 industry leaders in the automotive industry. We were responsible for the design, construction, logistics, tech production, hire, staging and staffing.

  • Food, Glorious Food?

    The catering/hospitality industry in the UK contributes £120 BILLION a year – more than the automotive, pharmaceutical and aeronautics industries combined. Some businesses have managed to “flip” their catering facility during the Covid-19 lockdown, transferring from on-site dining to takeaway, whereas others have closed their doors in line with Government regulations, and may never open them again. As the industry fumbles its way out of lockdown, trying to cope with the ever-shifting rules and regulations of social distancing, consumers will have a very different, less social experience from anything previously enjoyed, yet prices don’t look like shifting downwards. And what about the planet? To ensure contagion avoidance, caterers have opted for even more one-use, throwaway polystyrene and plastic crockery and cutlery delivery options. Suddenly sustainability seems to have tumbled down the agenda, in a desperate struggle for commercial survival. Already we are seeing discarded gloves and masks appearing on our pavements, parks and beaches. If everyone in the UK disposed of a facemask daily for a year, it would result in 66,000 tonnes of additional plastic waste alone. Some food and beverage brands have taken practical action to try to save local pubs and eateries. Budweiser Brewing Group launched a “Save Pub Life” initiative to support on trade outlets. Punters purchase a £20 voucher in anticipation of their local pub re-opening, and Bud double it to £40 worth of spend on food and drink. For Kit & Caboodle, re-opening event premises such as its popular Mad Hatter’s Gin and Tea Party in Notting Hill which had to be closed down for lockdown has proved to be impossible. Such smaller premises offer an intimate experiential event opportunity but they are too small to operate economically under social distancing regulations. Even with the chance to open up previously unavailable pavement areas in order to host a reasonable number of clients, the numbers just don’t add up. Neither would the noise restrictions and nuisance caused to nearby residents. So, as an events agency – how do we handle the development of food and beverage at an event? Very often, our hands are tied by the venue itself. They will often have “preferred suppliers” – let’s not mention “kickback” – and we are forced to work with those caterers. Sometimes it works out, other times it doesn’t and yet, as event managers, we get the blame if the jellies melt or the steaks are tough. Where we have free rein, we have a number of preferred suppliers ourselves – no kickback – just ultimate trust and confidence in their ability to step up to the plate (no pun intended) to produce an extraordinary dining or drinking experience that matches our vision, and that of our client. These include:  Moving Venue, Bread and Honey, Bread and Flowers, Cellar Society, Kings Kitchen,  Cura Dining and Blistering Barbeques, amongst others. Sometimes we even get carried away with our own creativity. For example, our recent project for The Mad Hatter’s Gin Tea Party was so far out as an experience that we sought to match it with quirky ‘culinary contentments’. So we presented our Wonderland explorers with an extraordinary inhalable Victoria Sponge and then a crazy meringue experience that had to be broken up with a hammer. By that time, they were all “very merry”- to put it mildly – as a result of the gin cocktails mainly – and so they really needed something more substantial to soak up the alcohol. In the end, we turned to simple tea-party sandwiches and cakes at a fraction of the price, and we had happy punters. A learning curve for us, for sure. Now, as we move into virtual event experiences to overcome the restrictions of lockdown and social distancing, we’ve been sending out hampers in partnership with catering and beverage companies, so that individuals can enjoy the experience of first class eating and drinking from the comfort of their own home, whilst partying with colleagues a million miles away. It’s a brave new world, and a long way from Aldous Huxley’s prophetic world where everything we consume is synthetic “Take a carotine sandwich, a slice of vitamin A pate, a glass of champagne-surrogate”.  All food in the prophetic world seems to be enhanced, vitaminized, with almost no natural ingredients. A world where food is a control instrument, and as long as people are wired to achieve sensory pleasure, they can be fooled into believing that what they are consuming is good for them. Thank goodness this is not the world we live in today although we are faced with different challenges in delivering sensory pleasures through food. Whichever way you look at it, the events and hospitality industries continue to grow and develop relations whilst being faced with challenges in new ways to serve food and drink. How creative, and how practical the outcome of these relations will turn out to be, post-Covid 19 is anybody’s guess. Will we return to the old ways, or will we embrace new ways? While the future may not always be glorious, we hope it will be edible. Has lockdown made you change your shopping and eating habits radically? Here at Kit & Caboodle, one of our directors has become a successful home baker. Another has become a confirmed pescatarian. We know from our clients in the alcohol industry that there has been a move towards not just drinking more wine at home, but for drinking better quality alcohol in general! Online events continue to grow stronger and we celebrated Pina Colada day with one of our clients and hosted a virtual cocktail making masterclass in Ibiza for 50 people - Guests might not have been poolside but they certainly got the taste of summer and some chilled Ibiza beats! For them, for us, and perhaps for you - personal catering, eating and drinking habits have undergone a fundamental shift. But nowhere more so than for the homeless and the hungry. We’d like to end with a shout out to someone in the growing and catering industry who is working tirelessly for others. A BBC Radio London posting on Facebook (BBCradiolondon/videos/579668122747394)  flags up the incredible story of Sunny Karagozlu, founder of Edible London, who started as an unpaid volunteer, catering pre-Covid 19 for around 200 homeless people a week. Based at Alexandra Palace, they have scaled up during lockdown to feed 50,000 homeless and vulnerable people per week with vegetarian and vegan food/meal packs. Edible London volunteers grow organic vegetables and also re-distribute the surplus from supermarket partners like LIDL and M&S. Not only do they save 20 tons of food a week from going into landfill, they also make use of the wooden pallets that the deliveries come in on, to build planters to grow more vegetables. Volunteer carpenters work alongside 350 volunteers to sort out the food and, importantly, to organise waste. Old, spoiled vegetables get put into a central compost area and are redistributed to growers across the north London boroughs. Plastic wrapping and cartons are turned into “eco-bricks'' and put to use. “As well as feeding the hungry by tackling food poverty ethically we are also building communities … the dots we are connecting are nothing short of a miracle,” says Sunny. Richard Branson says - “Life is all about turning points. Some people don’t embrace them, because they fear change – but over more than 40 years in business, I’ve learned to see shifts in success and forks in the road as huge opportunities. Turning points, while they often come from moments of darkness, can steer us in the direction of great light… or lightbulb moments”

  • Principal Place - Summer 2020

    Located in the “unsquare mile” where the City meets Shoreditch, there’s nothing square about the new geometrically-inspired Principal Pavilions’ installation. Summertime has returned to the City post-lockdown, in a blaze of colour. The pop-up summer pavilion structures offer a vibrant, space to chill out, cleverly positioned at a suitably safe social distance. Perspex-coloured acrylic frames have been used to create a stained-glass effect, stretched over a brightly coloured geometric astro-turf flooring design. The spaces offer the perfect spot to sample takeaway food or drinks from nearby eateries and soak up the sun … or dash for shelter out of the summer storms that have been a hallmark of Summer 2020. With Amazon having relocated their HQ to Principal Place/Tower in 2019, there’s no shortage of footfall from nearby offices. We created and installed the installation for our regular client, Brookfield, the developers. Easily accessible and free for all, the colourful design pays homage to the medieval French root of the word “pavilion” meaning the spread of a butterfly’s wings, and inspired by Gaudi’s strange geometric shapes. Tanya Clark, CEO of Kit & Caboodle, says “Intelligent urban placemaking can impact favourably on the wellbeing of city residents, whether workers or dwellers. Our creative team looks to support developers like Brookfield to bring colour and fun back to the streets of our cities.” "This is the second year Brookfield Properties London have collaborated with the tremendous design team at Kit & Caboodle. Their creative flair and excellent project management, make them a fantastic team to deliver best in class activations!" Saff Williams , Curator and Marketing Manager Brookfield Properties

  • Lollypop Lounge

    We were invited by Kings Cross Estates to come up with a creative concept to bring a feel-good summer factor to their iconic Granary Square steps as part of the wider campaign “The Great Outdoors” which celebrates their public realm spaces. Opening up the site after lockdown, it has been a great privilege to once again work with the Argent and Kings Cross Estates team. We enjoyed generating ideas that would delight and encourage footfall back to this popular public space. We’ve combined a dynamic and cheerful colour palette with fun pop-art style features to create this optimistic summer installation. What better symbol of summer than a lollipop? And a melting lollipop suggests warm summer days – what’s not to like? The #lollypoplounge installation offers escapism from the restrictions and worries of the past few months – fin de siècle cobwebs are blown away by lighthearted POP up fun. An homage to candy coloured vintage beach-deckchair stripes in the bespoke loungers that stretch down the steps, spacing out the lollies, delivers a subtle social-distancing solution. As a team, we’re experienced at turning our creative concepts into full production. Our turnkey service was just what was needed to realise The #lollypoplounge in a short time frame. We’ve worked with skilled artisans, designers and other specialists to deliver this installation. Being aware of the concerns around Covid-19 social and hygiene controls has been paramount. Some ideas were dropped in recognition of the limitations that adherence places on creativity. For example, sound buttons playing the irrepressible Millie Small’s My Boy Lollipop on a loop were reluctantly dropped from design as touch technology would be difficult to keep hygienic. We even thought about fragrancing the lollies to match the flavours but that raised other problems of contagion. At all times, our focus has been to ensure that this installation is safely-constructed and durable, offering an eye-catching space to relax and enjoy the view along the canal. We trust that The #lollypoplounge will evoke nostalgic memories of warm sunny days and the innocent pleasures of a simple ice-lolly. Local residents, returning office workers, commuters and even returning tourists are warmly welcomed to take a moment and lounge on the steps. Whether taking a selfie to share with friends or just relaxing to think about better times to come - The #lollypoplounge is the place to be.

  • Placemaking 2020 - Summer & Beyond

    The challenges facing landowners, developers, landlords, tenants and homeowners to adapt their external spaces to comply with lockdown and Covid-19 legislation have been sudden and impactful. But what next? As we move into summertime and restrictions ease, are there any “easy wins” for all those involved in placemaking? Research has shown how intelligent urban placemaking can impact favourably on health and wellbeing, for individuals and at a community level. There has never been a more vital time to seize the initiative. Building largely on urban design principles, and working in partnership with communities where appropriate, developers can once again look to offer a choice of installation-based placemaking activations for existing and new sites. To engage existing and potential user communities appropriately is a win-win. Not only does this add greater value to a specific development, but it also helps meet compliance requirements where community benefit and involvement has been a critical part of obtaining planning permission. With a focus on ‘feel good’ placemaking across external developmental sites, concepts need to be cost effective, timely, considerate, socially acceptable and sustainable. In particular, having a finger on the pulse of emergent youth markets, as the Gen Z’ers renew their recognition of the importance of physical connection, post-lockdown all helps with strategic placemaking planning. Understanding the wish of some developers to “put back” in practical terms, whether through charitable partnerships or social projects such as youth clubs and creative community spaces is the engine that can drive us all beyond the “lockdown” mentality. The trick is to create imaginative, light-hearted experiences that will bring people and brands together for memorable moments, fusing consumer passions with brand values … safely. This could include outdoor exhibitions and performances, for example, where seating is feasible, once the restriction is reduced to 1 metre or dropped altogether. Capitalising on green spaces in urban areas will encourage those who have had the privilege of enjoying their private gardens, or public spaces such as curated parks, to once again benefit from a renewed connection with nature. K & C’s team welcomed and entertained 5,000 people over an Easter Week installation last year at Battersea Power Station;  installed an Instagram sensation with Principal Place ‘Park’ – a greened urban area of topiary fantasy, driving footfall and interest to the latest City of London development, supported community involvement with dance workshops staging a performance of “Thriller” featuring 160 enthusiastic Zombies on Granary Square at Halloween and corralled a talking animatronic camel at a staff summer party for Facebook so that no-one got the hump.  From ticketed partner experiences such as The Mad Hatter’s Gin Tea Party in London for almost eight months until lockdown, to re-imagining retail spaces at individual units, or an entire shopping mall in Lisbon – we present a diverse portfolio of experience, coupled with an understanding of trends such as the need to repurpose bricks-and-mortar stores, as they adapt to online consumerism. Whether you have driven a vintage Ferrari at The Run to Monaco, or reclined beside a fountain at MDL BEAST, the largest staged and digital music festival in the world, held in Riyadh just before Christmas 2019… chances are, you won’t know the movers and shakers behind the scenes, who help make the magic happen. “Having the freedom to create without limits and give people a completely new and extraordinary environment to experience music, art and culture was extremely exciting. I’m really proud that we were an integral part of the creative concept, design, build and production team for the MDLBEAST VIB (Very Important Beasts) & VVIB Areas, Media / Press, Artist and Hospitality areas having been engaged on the project by Quintessentially Events for their client LemonX” TANYA CLARK, CEO, K & C Ltd. As for the “second spike or wave” of Covid-19 that some have predicted for this winter? All the more reason to plan activations that are flexible enough to be enjoyed in external spaces, where the risk of contagion is reduced. Above all, placemaking concepts need to be informed about, and consider the needs of, developing Britain’s urban spaces as more diverse and inclusive areas. Statues are toppling along with the old ideas of what today’s citizens want to see in their public spaces. They want to be inspired, uplifted and excited by the installations that we create together. There is room for history … but there is even greater scope for tomorrow’s urban landscapes to become truly representative. The economy needs to recover, fast. To contribute to the upturn, whether through presenting free access to artwork in public places to support the struggling UK arts sector, or funding a “promenade performance” of a play or musical to support out of work actors – imaginative placemaking ideas will benefit everyone in some way.  Those who have lost their jobs, whose families are suffering financial hardship or looking to entertain out-of-school children this summer – all would appreciate this gift. Beyond the merely utilitarian, beyond online interaction, the prospect of simple fun and shared delight beckons to all – and we all have a part to play.

  • MDLBEAST - Music Festival, Saudi Arabia

    Kit and Caboodle designed and art directed the production and build of all MDLBEAST VIB (Very Important Beasts) & VVIB Areas, Royal, Artists, Corporate Hospitality, Media and Press areas for the inaugural and celebrated MDLBEAST Music Festival, for client LemonX. Working closely in collaboration with a number of leading international agencies and client stakeholders, together we exceeded all expectations set by the client.

  • Lockdown Lighting

    This week, we have been speaking with Frankie Boyle, creative light designer and enthusiast. Frankie’s passion and excitement has lead her to produce imaginative light installations for brands such as Samsung, Campari, Arcadia at Glastonbury and leading haute couture jewellery and Fashion Houses. Here at Kit and Caboodle were big believers in championing the creative talent that we work with. As event designers and Purveyors of WoW! we understand the importance of lighting at events and experiences to ensure the right atmosphere that our clients need to achieve to tell their story. Which is why we have found talking with Frankie so fascinating, inspiring and we are excited to collaborate! Frankie is a visual artist specialising in the medium of light. Fusing technical mastery with creative innovation to produce unique, multi-sensory experiences is her passion and something she explores in each of her projects. Having been diagnosed with a speech and language disorder at a young age, she has always felt a heightened awareness of light, which has led to a lifelong fascination with the medium and how we connect with it. Her understanding of how light can support concept and storytelling has been gained from her subsequent years working in the entertainment industry. Lighting is a medium, it can be used to get to the core of how you feel and interact with a space by the environment that you create with it. In short, her specialism is in blending light, texture, colour and form to deepen sensory experiences within entertainment and commercial surrounds. We caught up with Frankie and interviewed her to learn more about the importance, the effects and the power of lighting...
