MARKETING
MARKETING SUPPORT FROM KOKO

Your event will be listed on koko.uk.com. If you have a promo photo or any copy you would
like included, please send it over and it will be included at our discretion. Artwork for our site
needs to be 705 x 289 pixels.
Your event will be included in our listings mail out for press, which is sent out once a week.
We can feature you event as a news item on our homepage for some time in the run up to it.
We can promote your event via our social networks - it will be announced on our Twitter and
Facebook pages and we will send out timely tweets and posts in the run up to it. There is
scope to run competitions promoting the event via these channels, but these will be
considered on an individual basis.
The event will be featured on the KOKO App.
The event can be featured in our newsletter, which is sent to the KOKO database of over
100,000 people each week.
There are lightbox sites on the exterior of the building facing Camden High Street and
Crowndale Road available for promoter use. Please email chiara@koko.uk.com if you wish to
book one of these. The charge for in-house printing of these is 95 + VAT per poster. If you
wish to supply your own, the dimensions are 1010mm x 1515mm (including a 10mm bleed)
and these must be printed on thick paper to avoid the posters warping when hung.

BRANDING GUIDELINES
When referring to KOKO on marketing material please keep to a few simple guidelines:
Please always write KOKO in uppercase
If your show is an early show before Club NME on a Friday it is essential you advertise on all
media that the main band will be on stage at 8pm. This also needs to be printed on the ticket.
On posters and other signage, where possible please use our logo which is available upon
request. Otherwise please write KOKO in uppercase using the Akzidenz-Grotesk Next Extra
Bold font.
Where KOKOs name or logo is used alongside other brands, KOKO reserves the right to
approve the use of its name and logo in advance.

BRANDING OPPORTUNITES
42" plasma screens on all levels. Ratio 16:9 resolution 10245768 fed by Kramer Video Matrix. Please
supply visuals from single bnc feed or DVD.
6mx5.5m projection motorised projection screen which drops in front of the stage. Projector Sanyo
PLC-XP 100L.
We can also provide a branding package and produce bespoke items, or contact our Production
Manager to discuss. Our preferred supplier is Made Up Ltd. http://www.madeupltd.com/

POSTER SITES
We have a selection of poster sites at KOKO, which you may use during your event. These must be
put up and taken down by yourselves.
Internal Poster Sites:
3x 520mm x 770mm
12x A2
8x A4

External Poster Sites:

2x 960mm x 1464 mm (BACKLIT LIGHTBOX)
2x A3

FLYPOSTING
We must remind all promoters that flyposting is illegal under the Town and Country Planning (Control
of Advertisements) Regulations 1992. Any promoter engaging in this act who gets reported to us by
either the local council or otherwise will be asked to remove it immediately, and may be barred from
any further promotion at KOKO.

FILMING & INTERNET USE

FILMING
Depending on how many cameras you plan to use, and where you intend to put them, there can be
an impact on the number of tickets you can sell.
The preferred setup which can be achieved without having an impact on the capacity is:
Pit - 1x camera on fixed tripod or handheld (not on track)
Stage - 1x or 2x cameras handheld or on fixed tripod
F.O.H. position - 1x camera on fixed tripod
Further cameras will require floor space, and hence will have an impact on the capacity of the show.
Our facility fee for filming a show is 1,000 + VAT. Any production who feel they have a case for
paying less need to contact Daveid Phillips, Head of Music on daveid@koko.uk.com
All outside broadcast vehicles parked on Crowndale Road must have the correct dispensation to
park from Camden Council before they can be connected to the building.

INTERNET ACCESS
We have a Fibre-Optic internet service that is sufficient for the needs of visiting personnel. It has
100mg upload and download speed, so it is more than capable of also being able to reliably stream
live broadcasts. Please ask for further details.

CATERING AND ACCOMMODATION

USE OF THE CATERING AREA
Catering Area - Incoming caterers please note there is a 500 deposit for use of catering areas that
will be refunded once catering areas are returned as they are found. Please also confirm power
requirements before the event to the Events Manager. Please note, exceeding power loadings can
result in electricians charges being deducted from deposits being held.

BACKSTAGE CATERING
We recommend Leyas for good quality and reasonably priced cold food catering. You can call them
on 07847 960 554 to place an order. Alternatively most of the restaurants listed below can provide
hot food takeaways.
