Once home to the legendary Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest now hosts The Young Theatre Company – a popular way for kids to grow their confidence. But because children grow up and move on, the company has a constant need for new talent. That’s why its owners chose to get creative with a vinyl van wrap.
It was the best way to spread brand awareness and get kids excited to join up!
What is The Young Theatre Company?
Founded over 30 years ago, it's grown to become one of the UK’s most successful youth theatres. Its owners, Craig and Hayla Hawes, take pride in being different, running a group that’s both affordable and welcoming to children of all talent levels.
It offers an eclectic mix of classes, from children’s acting and singing to dance lessons – all in the name of developing their confidence and their skills. There’s also a ‘show in a week’ program, where staff work with schools to produce full musical shows in as little as 5 days!
Why did they want a vinyl van wrap?
The Young Theatre Company is often out on the road, visiting nearby schools and theatres. So, van wrapping made more sense than other, more expensive kinds of advertising. Craig and Hayla knew that once their van was fully wrapped, it would be seen all over town – costing no more than the price of installation and the running of the van.
The goal was to get as many eyes on the van as possible, while building trust and respect. Vinyl van wraps do just that; helping brands grow their reputation and turn into household names. You can learn more in our guide to van wrapping and signage.
Why choose the Raccoon team?
The Young Theatre Company had seen the Big Wipes van and asked who installed the van wrap for them. The answer was Raccoon! In fact, they were so impressed, they couldn’t wait to get a van wrap design that was tailored to them. Their brand ethos may be fun, but by coming to us for van wrapping, they could also convey premium quality and a quirky yet professional sense of style.
The wrap also comes fully backed by Raccoon's 12-month guarantee.
What were the results?
Everyone at The Young Theatre Company loves the look of the van, including staff, and the children themselves. Craig recalls:
‘The morning we collected the van, a young lad walked straight up to us and stood in awe, gazing at the van, and asked if he could join. So, it’s safe to say the magic’s already working!’
The Young Theatre Company was also delighted with the service they received and already have plans to come to us with their future projects, whether these involve commercial van wrapping or large format printing.
