Redesigning the NOS Alive
Website: How TEMPER. Creative Agency Shaped the Digital Experience of a Top
European Music Festival
With over 16 successful editions, NOS Alive is a name that resonates across both national and European music festivals. Known for its iconic line-ups featuring international stars and cultural icons, its prominence as a brand exceeds even its event legacy.
It was music for our ears when TEMPER. Creative Agency had the honor of collaborating with this cultural giant, contributing to the festival’s continued success by redesigning its digital presence thru a powerful, functional and sexy website design .
Introduction
As one of Europe’s leading music festivals, NOS Alive has become synonymous with world-class performances, attracting millions of music lovers.
The challenge for TEMPER. Creative was clear: to craft a new visual identity for the festival’s website that honors the brand’s established legacy while offering a modern, dynamic platform capable of handling its growing digital audience.
Building on our previous work with Everything is New, including the websites for Rádio Oxigénio and the iconic Rádio Radar, we were well-prepared for the task at hand.
The Challenge: Reimagining NOS Alive’s Digital Identity
Designing a new language for a festival with such an ingrained identity required a delicate balance. The NOS Alive brand is heavily associated with its main sponsor, NOS, whose branding standards needed to be respected while still allowing room for creative innovation. The complexity lay in modernizing the site without disrupting the recognizable visual language the festival has built over the years.
Our work focused on crafting a website that could deliver an intuitive user experience while supporting an enormous amount of information, ranging from line-up details to social responsibility initiatives.
The end result was a sleek, functional, and visually captivating platform designed to handle the festival’s increasing digital traffic.
Creative Strategy: Balancing Innovation and Tradition
Our creative strategy was to approach the redesign with surgical precision. We didn’t aim for a complete overhaul but rather an enhancement of the existing design principles, refining the user interface while maintaining the established brand aesthetic.
The redesigned NOS Alive website features a dynamic, modern layout with intuitive navigation that organizes vast amounts of festival information clearly. The visual design balances boldness with proper UX/UI functionality allowing for easy access to crucial details such as artist line-ups, schedules, venue maps, ticketing options, and eco-friendly initiatives.
We also integrated seamless connections to NOS Alive’s social media presence and included sections highlighting the festival’s cultural and environmental commitments, making it a truly holistic platform for festival-goers.
Website Performance and User Engagement
The new NOS Alive website was a resounding success. Upon its launch, the platform garnered over 1 million visits in its first week, a testament to its user-centric design and functional elegance. Since its release, the site has attracted over 3.5 million unique visitors as fans explored its content leading up to the 13th edition of the festival.
The updated website allowed NOS Alive to communicate all aspects of the event clearly and effectively, providing information on everything from artist line-ups and ticketing to social responsibility and sustainability initiatives. Through this design, TEMPER. Creative Agency solidified its role as a leading agency in branding and digital production, delivering a platform that not only represented the festival’s essence but also enhanced its online presence.
