Bath Fringe Festival
Client / Role:

Bath Fringe Festival:
Marketing and Social Media Manager

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.

Results
  • 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.”
