Battersea Power Station
Eager to ensure that the redevelopment of the iconic
Battersea Power Station site stood out even during construction,
the Battersea Power Station Development Company turned to
Octink to bring to life the design concepts for the exterior hoarding,
signage and large format banners for this iconic scheme.
In excess of 500m of printed hoarding alone was erected around the power station site
boundary incorporating 1.8m high powder-coated feature lettering and 18mm thick
fret-cut marine plywood lettering.

Octink has completed two signature projects as part
of Qatari Diar’s London property expansion.
The challenge at Chelsea Barracks was to deliver an illuminated site-wide branding
scheme that reflects the elegance of the brand identity, while remaining sensitive to
the site’s history and the local community.
At Southbank Place, a visually impactful perimeter branding scheme promoting the
redevelopment of the iconic Shell Building had to be carefully coordinated to ensure
installation met the requirements of key stakeholders and enforcement bodies.
Both projects epitomise Octink’s approach to delivering high quality schemes that fulfil
customers’ brand ambitions.

Event Branding
Live events, exhibitions and conferences need a
unique character. Octink helps clients extend their
brand identities into impactful promotional spaces
that drive both sales and marketing results.
From London’s Chelsea Flower Show to the Goodwood Festival of
Speed to international conferences and exhibitions, we work with
some of the biggest brands creating and delivering signage and
graphic applications to enhance any experience.
RHS Chelsea Flower Show
For seven years from 2009, Octink was the official supplier
of signage, way-finding and event branding to this iconic
five-day event held by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Each year in excess of 4,000 signage items were delivered, installed and
placed throughout the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, all to the
exacting requirements of the RHS. Colour management is key to ensure
brand consistency across all applications, while the signage must also tie
in with the aesthetics of the show.

Working for one of the world’s leading live event marketing
agencies, Octink was asked to brand 28 hospitality spaces
at six of the main tournament venues.
With all branding needing to be temporary yet robust enough to last for the
duration of the tournament, a combination of removable vinyls and canvas graphics
were used. A total of over 1,750 metres of graphics was produced in just six
days. In the days (and hours) before the tournament kick-off, Octink’s 28-person
installation crew worked around the clock to complete at every stadium in time for
the opening ceremony.

that produces eye-catching stands for leading motor brands
such as: Mercedes, BMW, Mini Cooper, The Moving Motor Show
and luxury watch specialist TAG Heuer.
In excess of 800-1,000 square metres of fabrics and banner material is digitally
printed to create life-sized, attention grabbing images of the vehicles in action.

Swim Britain
Octink completed two time-sensitive projects for Swim
Britain, a joint initiative by British Gas and British Swimming
to inspire 500,000 people across Britain to swim more
regularly and get fit through a series of relay races.

Olympic Park for London 2012, planning and logistics were key. Each sport required
timed delivery slots, with our install teams on the ground erecting in excess of 1,200
signage items, sponsor advertising boards and over 3.5 km of branded fabric banner
to help dress each venue and city.

New Balance Hospitality Experience
Selected as their Olympic event delivery partner,
Octink managed multiple stakeholders to bring
together the entire build and interior fit-out of the
New Balance Experience Centre.
Utilising the creative platform of ‘Past, Present and Future’ the build
took just seven days and transformed the space back in time to a 1906
industrial warehouse interior. With sustainability at the heart of the
project, our team sourced reclaimed 25 year old flooring from a school
gymnasium in Scotland and interior wall surfaces sourced from reclaimed
bricks from a redundant Victorian factory in Manchester.

We Own The Night
Working for creative brand experience specialists,
Limelight Sports, on behalf of Nike, Octink was the appointed
delivery partner for all the course signage, hospitality and sponsor
branding in the 'village'.
This night time event required a high percentage of the signage to be
produced using reflective vinyl and materials and included a series of
three metre high totems, start and finish gantry banners, printed event
scrim, course marking and directional way-finding.

The Elite Exhibition
Prestige client Berkeley Group turned to Octink for
a VIP ‘pop-up’ marketing suite for a day at Biggin
Hill Airport in South East London and afterwards at
Liverpool street, London.
In a perfect execution of the ‘elite’ design brief, Octink created a plush,
contemporary champagne-coloured interior and installed chandeliers,
sumptuous furniture and high-end flooring. The structure was a flat-pack
construction that was built entirely on our premises before being sent to
the site in pieces and reassembled in situ.

Chiswick Gate
Octink was commissioned to undertake a full internal
fit-out and exterior signage scheme for this exclusive
West London marketing suite, which required the very
highest specification and quality of finish.
With near 24/7 project management needed to co-ordinate and complete
the finished suite in just four weeks, we managed the whole process: from
on-site fabrication and installation, sourcing and producing furniture, printing
the external CGI vinyl graphics and external branding, as well as ACM, signage
and illuminated lettering.

and interior fit out of the marketing suite was completed entirely by Octink.
Included in the specification was a stunning exterior, using 800 lengths of
