SHIFT runs Tate Modern and Garage Nation out of the same office and needed one site that speaks to both. We built a dark, cinematic front for the events portfolio and a Swiss-precise register for the strategy work, on a CMS their team runs. Visitors rose 48% over the old site in the first three months.

A London events agency whose two audiences had never shared a site.

SHIFT London works at the join between culture and commerce, with a portfolio running from the Tate Modern to Garage Nation. Under the mantra "The Future Is Now," they wanted one brand image that could hold underground art scenes and corporate partners at the same time — visually immersive, and solid enough to send to a funding body.

SHIFT sits between underground culture and corporate work. Rather than a template, the layout is cinematic and visual-heavy, with the events portfolio as the only protagonist.

Execution overview

Execution overview

Two registers on one site, and a CMS the team runs.

The events portfolio gets a dark, immersive treatment; the strategy offering gets Swiss-style restraint. Both live on one site, so a corporate partner and a promoter arrive at the same brand. A custom CMS lets the team publish new IP and event case studies themselves, work they had been doing in static slides.

In the first three months, visitors rose 48% over the old site.

The contact page: an email and a phone number, nothing else.
