Aviva Studios is the UK’s biggest cultural investment in decades and home to Factory International. With public investment secured, the next step was attracting a like-minded naming rights partner to unlock vital commercial revenue – essential to delivering a bold, inclusive, and sustainable year-round arts programme.

THE SOLUTION

We shaped a compelling commercial narrative rooted in impact, not just profile. With insight from stakeholders, we built a sales toolkit and digital campaign that spoke to brands’ values. In June 2023, Aviva signed a landmark multi-million-pound deal – one of the most significant cultural sponsorships in UK history.
