Our Account Director Louisa Bass wrote a new feature for Open Air Business magazine’s May April Issue. Louisa discusses creative placemaking, and how events can celebrate and strengthen communities.

“‘Celebration’ is a key word in itself, evoking thoughts around the social nature of humanity and our need for collaboration and social interaction. We come together to celebrate all sorts of moments in time, be it the launch of a new development, a Christmas celebration, an arts festival or a food market. These events create ample opportunities for not only local food and beverage operators (F&B) and retailers but also for local community engagement and interaction, which then has a positive knock on effect to local economy, general wellbeing and localism”
