Global Pet Expo

Developing a large-scale experiential branding system for one of the pet industry’s leading international trade events.

context

Global Pet Expo 2019 was a large-scale industry event held in Orlando, Florida, requiring a fully integrated visual campaign spanning branding, environmental design, event navigation and marketing collateral across the convention experience.
I led the creative direction, campaign development and production coordination for the project, overseeing rollout of the visual identity across both digital and physical applications. The work included event branding, large-format environmental graphics, wayfinding systems, convention floor applications, marketing materials and illustrative assets designed to create a cohesive visitor experience throughout the venue.
Unlike much of my commercially focused identity work, the project intentionally leaned into a more playful and illustrative visual style while maintaining consistency and usability across a highly complex event environment. Navigation and accessibility remained a major consideration throughout, ensuring the system functioned effectively across large-scale attendee movement and exhibition spaces.
The project received a Gold Davey Award for Integrated Campaign & Branding, recognising the scale and consistency of execution across the wider event ecosystem.
