Our Philosophy

Tried and Tested

Discovery

We pride ourselves on our creative brief taking.

Collaborating with our clients, we leave no stone unturned to work with you curating an accurate and effective brief to understand your exhibition stand design and build objectives and scope the project in full.

Strategy

Our in-house exhibition stand designers then get to work.

When understanding your brief, they apply their years of exhibition experience to start defining methods, researching engagement strategies and considering the sustainability approach to your stand development.

Creative

Ideas then become reality.

Through concept development, sketch designs and finally 3D renders are presented to you for final sign off of your bespoke exhibition stands along with any amends required, ready to move into production and build phase.

FAQs

An exhibition design and build agency handles every stage of the stand, from initial brief through concept design, fabrication, install and dismantle. Creation handles and manages all of it in-house for a stress free experience for our clients.

First off, it is important to note that often you won't know. We design you a great exhibition stand that fits your budget and your needs. The materials behind the scenes are our expertise, you do not need to choose.

Custom exhibition stands are designed and built from scratch where the sky is the limit, using various materials to achieve more ambitious designs using such materials as timber, glass, plastics, metal, GRP etc.

Modular exhibition stands use reusable components that reconfigure for different venues and sizes. Modular stand booths are designed and built with sustainability at their core whilst ensuring they still look just as good as bespoke exhibition stands, just slightly more limited on what can structurally be achieved.

Exhibition stand design and build involves two key parts; the exhibition stand design, and the exhibition stand build. The time in between that is where exhibition stand project management takes place.

We always advise clients to start the process as far in advance as possible ensuring we can dive properly into your brand and your vision, create an outstanding exhibition stand design and allow the time to make any amendments that you need. We take care of all the venue and organiser deadlines, and the sooner we begin, the more efficient we can be.

Anything less than 8 weeks, the timeline has to be more compact. However we have built over 600sqm of exhibition stands at COP26 with just over 3 weeks’ notice! (please don’t aim for 3 week timelines!) Notwithstanding, we are experts in making big dreams come true with tight deadlines if you are last minute.

A summary guideline of realistic timings:

Modular Exhibition Stands: 1-3 months

Custom Exhibition Stands: 2-6 months

Complex Double-deck exhibition stands: 4-12 months.

Interactive technology turns a passive visitor into an active participant and creates the shareable moments that justify an activation budget. Options include touchscreens and configurators, AR and VR, motion-reactive walls, RFID or QR-triggered content and live social or content capture.

Double-decker exhibition stands look amazing and stand you out from the crowd literally and metaphorically. We own our own double deck structure so that we can design and build double deck exhibition stands cost effectively and sustainably.

Exhibition stand designers UK companies like Creation are briefed on brand guidelines from day one if clients have them. However, not all exhibition stand design companies are equal, it is about gaining an in depth understanding to fully maximise your brand. We start with a discovery session to understand your requirements in depth and how to work within your brand standards and push the exhibition stand design to its potential.

Either. Creation can provide and assist with your artwork, taking it from brief through design to final sign-off, or handle specialist print production from files you supply. You get as much or as little design support as the project needs whether it be an exhibition booth, brand activation or stand alone graphic printing
