The MAD Exhibit team were tasked with creating a show stopping stand to launch the ‘Naked’ brand at the London Plant Based Food Show in 2021. This ‘Foods of the World Market’ stand consisted of an American Diner, Airstream trailer serving British cuisine and Naked Market with foods from around the world.

All of this was created in a day at the London show and shows what’s
possible with an end to end MAD solution designed, manufactured, built and installed by our integrated team.

The brief was to create maximum impact with a minimum footprint and the MAD team nailed it with this compact, robust stand that really punches above its weight and stands toe to toe with international food brands on aworld stage.

The modular system ‘Beach Shack’ was specifically designed to pack into flight cases to be transported on an international tour of exhibitions for innovative local producer Finnebrogue Artisan and they were delighted with the result which made a real splash on every stop.

Text Help worked with MAD to build it better for 2022 and expand on the brand experience at the BETT Show London. Demonstration areas were expanded, full coffee bar facilities provided and Text Help commissioned a Podcast Studio on the stand itself connecting with not just visitors at the show but with customers across the world.

Screens featured heavily once again with a six panel array and four
sperate work & demo stations. Custom counters, bus stop signage and illuminated acrylic lettering really took the Text Help stand to the next level and we cant wait to build it better once again in 2023!
