A private investment gathering on the Italian Riviera
Role: Digital Director
The Brief & Approach
Arlington Rapallo is an invitation-only investment gathering hosted in Italy for a highly specialised audience. My role was to create a digital presence that reflected the discretion, credibility, and clarity required for a private financial event — without relying on overt marketing or unnecessary noise.
I led the creative direction and delivery of the event’s digital identity, shaping how the experience was presented online across website, content, and communications. The focus was on authority, simplicity, and ease of access, ensuring the platform supported both guest information and event logistics while reinforcing Arlington’s positioning.
Editorial Website Design
The website was designed and built as a focused, editorial platform rather than a promotional event site. Content hierarchy, pacing, and tone were carefully considered to reflect the calibre of attendees, while providing essential information in a clear and structured way.
Platform Architecture & Ongoing Development
The platform supports ongoing updates as the event evolves, allowing speakers, schedules, and guest communications to be managed efficiently without compromising visual restraint or brand integrity.
