Emergency Exit Arts is a spectacular company in all senses of the word. They devise, produce and perform jaw-dropping celebratory events.

They are, in fact, three different offerings: EEA, the outdoor events specialists; Bollywood Brass Band (BBB), musical darlings of the festival circuit; and a dedicated fireworks team, EEAfx.

Founded in 1980 and based in Greenwich, we’ve crossed paths with the company many times, through work with festivals and when we designed CD packaging for BBB in the late 1990s. So we were delighted to win the commission to create their first proper online presence.

Our first job was to help this diverse and energetic company to distil their complex offering (and thirty year history) into messages that could easily reach their audiences.

Our main task was to show funders and potential clients that EEA are a solid, team that have reliably delivered spectacular events for three decades.

Every page is image-rich and stuffed with content. The EEA team can update every element including pictures, video, extra navigation and all of the text.

As many of the key audiences are Council employees, it was important that we designed the site to be compatible with the old (and notoriously difficult) browser, Internet Explorer 6.
