All aboard the new Mayflower bus.
Mayflower, both Theatre and Studios are at the heart of Southampton’s cultural scene, offering a dynamic programme of entertainment, education, and creative development. Beyond their renowned stage productions, Mayflower is dedicated to community engagement and outreach, opening doors to live performances for all.
So when we were offered the opportunity to brand a big double-decker Xelabus for Mayflower we knew we’d have the space to create impact on a massive moving billboard. This collaboration with Mayflower and Xelabus not only promotes Mayflower and the venues but the bus itself provides essential transport for schools and their students, enabling them to experience the magic of theatre first-hand.
Thomas Miller Creative took on the exciting challenge of bringing Mayflower’s productions to life on the bus exterior. With instantly recognisable characters from beloved shows adorning the sides, front, back, and even windows, the design invites onlookers to “Step Inside,” an impactful and inviting call to action that perfectly captures the spirit of the venues as well as the vehicle.
The branded bus stands as a bold testament to Mayflower’s mission—bringing theatre to more audiences, engaging new and inspiring the next generation of performers and theatre-goers… tickets please!
