Festival of Business - the magic continues...

The NI Chamber Festival of Business 2025 is almost here and our creative energy is about to hit St. George's Market once again. We're absolutely thrilled to be taking part in this incredible gathering of over 1,000 business professionals at the iconic St George's Market on Wednesday 17th September 2025. 

If you missed us last year, you missed something pretty special. But don't worry – we're coming back bigger, bolder, and with an experience that's going to completely blow your mind. 

Last year's magic: The pop-up photography studio that stole the show

Let's rewind to Festival of Business 2024 for a second. Picture this: delegates wandering around St. George's Market, networking away, when suddenly they stumble upon our pop-up photography studio. Within minutes, they're getting professional headshots that would normally cost them hundreds of pounds – completely free.

We had business leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals from across Northern Ireland lining up to get that perfect LinkedIn photo, that shot for their company website, or just because they fancied looking incredible. And the best part? Every single photo was polished up, and delivered to their inbox within 24 hours. No catches, no hidden fees, no strings attached. 

The feedback was off the charts and people couldn't believe a creative agency would just rock up and offer something that valuable for free. But here's the thing – that's exactly who we are at Whitenoise. We believe in showing, not just telling.

This year's showstopper: Even more tricks up our sleeve

We could easily roll out the photography studio again. The demand is definitely there, and we know it works. But where's the fun in playing it safe?

This year, we're bringing something completely different to the table. Something even more interactive, engaging. and something that will have every event delegate thinking about us long after they leave St. George's Market.

We're not spilling all the beans just yet (where would be the excitement in that?), but here's what we can tell you: it flies in the face of typical event marketing and we have our fingers crossed that it pays off. We're having fun and creating an experience that perfectly showcases what modern creative agencies can do when they stop talking about innovation and unique branding experiences and start actually delivering it.

Why the Festival of Business matters (and why we're there)

The Festival of Business isn't just another networking event – it's Northern Ireland's biggest business gathering, and for good reason. When you get 1,000+ professionals from every industry under one roof, magic happens. Connections form, ideas spark, and businesses discover exactly what they didn't know they needed. 

That's exactly where we fit in.

At Whitenoise, we don't just create pretty visuals (though we're pretty good at that too). We're strategic creative partners who understand that the strongest brands don't just sell – they tell stories that stick. We work with businesses who want to connect with their audiences on a deeper level, who understand that great creative work isn't just about looking good, it's about driving meaningful results.

Maybe you're a tech company with groundbreaking solutions that nobody really understands. Perhaps you're a traditional manufacturer looking to appeal to younger customers. Or you could be a service business that knows you're brilliant at what you do, but can't seem to communicate why clients should choose you over the competition.

That's where we come in.

Our team specialises in everything from brand design and strategy to animation, videography, and photography. We've worked with everyone from BBC to Ulster University and love supporting small to medium sized organisations to create brand experiences that don't just look incrediblebut also deliver real business results.

Most importantly, we understand Northern Ireland businesses and we understand the challenges you face, the opportunities you're sitting on, and the creative solutions that actually work in this market.

Try before you buy

When you give someone the chance to engage with your brand in a memorable, valuable way, you're not just capturing their attention – you're creating a positive association that lasts. You're showing them what you can do rather than telling them what you might be able to do.

That's exactly what our mystery interactive stand at the Festival of Business will demonstrate. We're not just going to talk about the power of creative engagement – we're going to let you experience it firsthand.

We won't be doing the hard sell on anyone visiting our stand, so swing by to have some fun and hopefully you like us enough to strike up a conversation when the time is right for you. Let's make some creative magic happen.
