What If Your Event Became a Magazine?

We are launching “We’ve Got an Issue With Your Event”, a new editorial and communication project dedicated to festivals and large-scale events, through which an event can literally become the subject of a magazine. We wanted to create an alternative form of promotion, one built around premium journalistic content, a distinctive visual identity, and substantial editorial documentation.

After more than 15 years of working across the local and international media landscape, we are extending our editorial practice into a space where media, storytelling, and event communication meet. “We’ve Got an Issue With Your Event” begins with a simple idea: a festival is never just a programme, a line-up, a collection of posters, or a set of photographs taken once it is over. It is made up of people, stories, places, ideas, and contexts, all of which deserve to be documented and brought together in an editorial object with an identity and existence of its own.

With this project, we take responsibility for the entire editorial and documentation process, from research and interviews to writing, editing, and the final construction of the publication. Each project is conceived as a standalone magazine, shaped around the identity of the event and adapted to its particular character.

Exclusive interviews with artists and organisers, features dedicated to the festival, editorials, reviews, stories about the location and its community, insights into the work behind the event, and portraits of the people who make it possible are just some of the formats we can bring together within each issue. The structure is not fixed because no two events are alike. The editorial approach follows the character, scale, atmosphere, and cultural context of each project.

The result is an original digital magazine with a coherent editorial and visual direction, produced entirely by our team. We do not see the publication as a conventional extension of an event’s existing promotional materials. Instead, we approach it as a journalistic product in its own right — one that gives the event a broader perspective and creates a form of representation capable of remaining relevant long after the final day has passed.

There is also a practical and economic dimension to the project. Organisers can use the magazine across their own communication channels, incorporate it into the promotional strategy of a particular edition, or transform it into a physical printed publication when the format and needs of the event call for it. Depending on the organiser’s preference, the magazine can remain exclusively digital or be adapted for print at a later stage.

One of the central principles behind “We’ve Got an Issue With Your Event” is that we take the editorial workload off the organising team. There is no need to separately coordinate research, identify and contact interviewees, arrange interviews, commission or write articles, edit materials, or manage the construction of the publication. We handle these stages ourselves and deliver a magazine built around the event, without adding another layer of logistical pressure to the people already responsible for making it happen.

For us, “We’ve Got an Issue With Your Event” is a natural extension of more than a decade and a half of editorial experience. It also reflects the way we believe events can be communicated today: not simply through announcements and promotional assets, but through stories, context, voices, and a publication capable of giving an event a longer editorial life.

For festival and large-scale event organisers, the project offers the possibility of turning one-off communication into an editorial archive with its own identity. Through our perspective and editorial process, an event can be documented, contextualised, and reinterpreted rather than simply announced or promoted.

At a time when public attention is increasingly fragmented, we are interested in a different pace — one that allows space for original content, considered storytelling, and a recognisable visual language. An event may have a single date on the calendar, but there is no reason for its story to end there. A magazine can preserve its voices, its people, its atmosphere, and the context in which it existed, giving that particular edition a form that can continue to circulate long after the stages have come down.
