Last Saturday we held an @oasis -themed event at @manchesterfortshoppingpark
Packed with live music and exciting prizes, shoppers were able to enjoy their favourite Oasis anthems from performances during their trip.
Our team were on the ground managing prizes and capturing all the action.
It was a brilliant turn-out and a perfect example of how engaging, relevant events can truly captivate an audience!

With the @wimbledon finals wrapping up last weekend, we`re looking back on a brilliant few weeks of tennis, tasty street food and the screenings at @islingtonsq with @urbanfoodfest.
Hosting activations around major cultural moments like Wimbledon brings in diverse audiences, boosts midweek footfall and creates a real sense of energy on weekends. Strong PR and stakeholder outreach played a key role in driving visibility and engagement across the local area.
By delivering these events, we continue to position @islingtonsq as a go-to destination for the community.
