Brief:
Bath Fringe has been a staple of the city’s cultural calendar for decades, but like many independent festivals, it needed to keep its voice fresh and visible in a crowded arts scene. I was brought in to lead its marketing and digital presence, helping the festival reach new audiences while keeping its grassroots spirit alive.

- Significantly boosted social reach and engagement across channels.
- Helped attract new audiences while maintaining loyal supporters.
- Reinforced Bath Fringe’s identity as a playful, inclusive, and vital part of Bath’s cultural life.
Approach
- Developed and managed the festival’s social media channels with engaging content that reflected its energy and diversity.
- Coordinated press coverage and listings, building relationships with local and regional media.
- Produced audience-facing materials that felt vibrant but accessible.
- Balanced limited budgets by focusing on targeted, high-impact campaigns.
“We’re really pleased to have Luke on board to steer Bath Fringe’s publicity drive. His in-depth knowledge of the local arts scene is a great asset to the festival.”
