Southend Essential
Southend Essential is the latest incarnation of the Southend Visitor Guide, adopting a 'magazine' style. STORM was commissioned to develop the traditional Southend Visitor Guide and heralded in the changes with this modern approach to presenting the information. We developed the concept, researched and wrote the content and designed the magazine layout. We also sold advertising within the publication and developed online content to be released throughout the year. STORM won a national design award for the first Southend Essential, earning a bronze award for the latest edition.

Christmas Spectacular 2008
How do you make people aware of all the great festive events that are taking place across a whole town? Well, that’s what we were asked when we were commissioned to develop a suite of adverts, posters and publications for the ‘Christmas in Southend’ event season.
