Sandpit Creations: Create tailored marketing disruption for your company!

Have you ever wanted to stand out at a trade show?

Many trade shows have seen record attendance this year – so why not add an eyecatching, creative installation to attract new clients in 2025?

Got a last-minute Christmas Show to organise? Why not add some show-stopping, interactive Christmas sparkle?

Take a marketing risk in 2025

Marketing disruption is all about challenging the status quo – using innovative tactics to change how clients and the industry view your services and products. It might seem counterproductive to take marketing risks during supply chain delays and the cost-of-living crisis, but done well, imaginative storytelling can be visually captivating and challenge age-old mindsets.

Spotlight on Sandpit Creations

Sandpit Creations is an award-winning creative workshop on a mission to create innovative sets, props, and experiences that both engage audiences and are built to withstand interaction. The team of widely skilled creatives include carpenters, creative and concept designers, scenic artists, textiles specialists, creative technologists, prop makers, sculptors, and metalworkers as well as writers, directors and performers.

Established in 2023 by Director Dan Barr, the talented creatives have already been finalists in The Access All Areas Event Production Awards: ‘Ones to Watch Category’ and won the ‘Most Innovative Theatre & Events Creative Workshop 2024’ in the South East England SME News Enterprise Award. With the catchy slogan, ‘See you in the sandpit,’ the award-winning diverse team of artists have largely known each other for years, having previously collaborated on the Crystal Maze Live Experience.

If you scroll through the company’s LinkedIn page: www.linkedin.com/company/sandpit-creations/ posts/?feedView=all – it’s full of engaging, innovative museum installations, immersive bar experiences, art display furniture, theatre set designs, fibreglass modelling to Christmas and Halloween costume designs and more. With a larger customer base, Sandpit Creatives has recently moved its workshop space to Gravesend, Kent from just outside London.

“We work all over the UK, not just serving the London crowd. Our workshop is bigger and quieter, giving us all the time and space to come up with our award-winning concepts. On reflection, this year has seen the completion of eclectic creative projects from room designs (including microelectronics) at London’s Sherlock Holmes Musem, prop and video design for the CBeebies Rainbow Adventure, to a head-to-toe Mr Tinsel Outfit for the London Christmas Party Show and much more.”

Work with Built Environment and other sectors

“We want to make it clear that we don’t just work in the Arts sector-we're really excited to be offering our services to the wider built environment sector.

“We designed and handcrafted a bespoke ‘Mind Control Safe Game’ for a company to use at a recent trade show. The headset detects electrical signals in the brain to measure levels of focus and when optimal focus has been achieved, the dials on the safe start moving and when the green light is activated, the contestant can claim the prize inside the safe. The safe can easily be customised for different companies to use on exhibition stands during trade shows and in such a competitive market, it’s an eye-catching feature to draw professionals to your stand with purchasing power and potential sales leads.” explains Dan.

Elevate your trade show: Stand out

Trade Shows are a great way to harness brand visibility, generate sales leads and expand networks. Many specifiers, facilities managers, senior buyers and directors attend trade shows to discover the latest innovations across roofing, cladding, HVAC, flooring and facilities management.

People are visually-orientated, with science backing this up. Half of our brain is either directly or indirectly devoted to processing visual information and 65% of us are visual leaners. Visual imagery and storytelling can translate technical ideas easily and combined with kinaesthetic models, can transcend any trade stand to stratospheric levels.

“We’ve seen through recent projects such as the Mr Tinsel costume, that people love visuallyarresting designs on a moving person that they can engage with or our fun ‘Mind Control Safe Game’ not only attracted the engineers but those with innate curiosity and imagination.”

Sandpit Creations work in a collaborative way with all clients: working on a specific set brief or on a more, open-ended manner. The creative team visits the client in question to offer an initial consultancy. Dependant on the scale of the project, work can start immediately or after a period of R&D.

Need last-minute Christmas work or early 2025 work?

“At this time of year, some companies are still looking for Christmas party ideas and we have a whole bunch of cool ideas. We’re happy to accommodate last-minute bookings, as well as starting the planning for larger-scale projects.

From our new workshop space in Kent, we can help companies with New Year re-fresher/upgrade projects, through to creating a trade show that will the ‘disruption talking point’ of your next show to brainstorming ideas for a short or long-term marketing project.”

Sandpit Creations will be at The Event Production Show 2025: 26-27 February, ExCeL, London. Visit Stand H5OE www.eventproductionshow.co.uk/exhibitors/ sandpit-creations?&azletter=S&searchgroup=libr aryentry-exhibitors
