The Drive-in Club

Task

We were tasked with introducing a brand-new concept to the UK media mid-pandemic with just two months to deliver positive and impactful angles and stories to the press to help instil confidence in the public that they could enjoy live entertainment in a covid secure environment. 

What we did

Media Relations

Created a massive buzz within the media with one impactful launch and continued to deliver an enormous amount of coverage over two month, utilising any new acts added to the line up.

We used each act individually therefore creating mass opportunities that highlighted their own shows within the event but in turn shining a light on the whole line up.

Influencer/event management – Built a guest list of celebs, influencers and journalists, offering them a full offering opening night experience, delivering food & drink options to their vehicles. Delivered a covid secure press area for talent interviews 

Photography – Planned, organised and delivered vital photography to provide visual assets to power the social and news media activity 

Results 

We delivered over 100 pieces over coverage across print, online and broadcast. 

The impact of the coverage translated into a huge excitement about the event and crucially into ticket sales.  The mass media attention also encouraged more household names to confirm shows at the site.
