PVDFest

20th Anniversary Rebrand & Marketing | Campaign Launch: 2025

Overview

DDL Advertising has proudly partnered with PVDFest since 2019, supporting the branding and visual storytelling of Providence’s most iconic arts and music festival. In 2024, PVDFest entered a major new chapter with a rebrand and repositioning to celebrate its 20th anniversary, alongside a move to a new location within the city. Our role has been to help evolve the festival’s visual identity while preserving the energy, creativity, and community spirit that attendees know and love.

Working collaboratively with the PVDFest team, DDL Advertising developed visually compelling assets designed to activate the city and build excitement leading up to and throughout the festival. From large-scale outdoor signage and stage banners to bus wraps and a cohesive social media presence, each touchpoint was designed to reflect PVDFest’s vibrant celebration of music, art, and culture.
