Gut Bennigsen
Brand Identity & Marketing
Gut Bennigsen is an old knight’s estate in the countryside near Hannover, Germany. In 1311 the manor was first documented in the possession of the family “von Bennigsen”.
When one of the decendants inherited the estate some years ago, he turned into a ever evolving cultural hub. Now different types of events and concerts are held regularly on the grounds, with further plans to expand the experience.
Transatlantika created a visual identity, an informative website and promotes Gut Bennigsen concerts and events with multi-channel marketing campaigns.
