We have helped deliver successful bespoke campaigns for:
• Supermarkets • Technology manufacturers • High Street retailers • Household brands • Finance companies • Tourism agencies • Utility providers • And many more…
Extended brand awareness can be achieved by:
• Association with BBC, talent, partner brands • Credible product and brand demonstrations • Stage and show area sponsorship • A supporting digital content campaign • Data collection and sharing Case Study: The Supertheatre sponsored by Aldi In 2016, the main chef demonstration stage at The BBC Good Food Shows Scotland, Winter and London was sponsored by Aldi. Unquestionably this agreement proved a massive success, presenting Aldi with an unrivalled platform through which to promote their products and to realize their marketing objectives.
The Activation:
• Aldi as the exclusive grocery supplier to the Supertheatre.
• Aldi branding and logo to be displayed on the Supertheatre set.
• Aldi allocated a stand on exhibition floor to sell products.
• Aldi supported by thorough digital content campaign in show build-up.
The Results:
• Aldi positioned itself in front of consumers’ minds, taking market share from the likes of Waitrose and Sainsbury’s that typically held a monopoly over the Good Food Show visitors.
• A survey revealed that 78% of participants were either ’likely’ or ‘very likely’ to shop with Aldi in the three months after the show.
• Aldi were able to promote their growing wine supplies through a 60- second ad reel that was played on big screens for audiences’ attention.
• The Supertheatre made for a memorable Show experience. 71% described it as a major highlight of their visit, with 94% of participants aware of Aldi’s headline sponsorship of the feature.
Here’s what it could look like Case Study: Lexus as the Headline Sponsor Since 2014, Lexus has been the headline sponsor of the BBC Good Food Shows. This agreement has offered ample branding and experiential opportunities across the UK for the car giant.
As the headline sponsor, Lexus is integrated into varied editorial features across the shows. From Discover & Learn stages, to sponsored VIP dinners, to sponsored show-specific competitions, Lexus is constantly at the forefront of show opportunities and its brand integrated into every marketing output.
ALIGNED TARGET AUDIENCE The BBC Good Food Shows provide the perfect audiences that Lexus seek to target. Sponsoring the shows provides Lexus with the perfect opportunity to communicate its brand messaging to the affluent professionals and successful families that it targets as prospective buyers.
MARKET SHARE The BBC Good Food Show car parks are full of competitor vehicles to Lexus. With 75% of visitors exploring a Lexus close up, the company successfully positions itself in front of mind, stealing back market share from the likes of BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi.
NO PRESSURE ENVIRONMENT As the one and only car manufacturer present, Lexus avoid any brand dilution or competition that they might find at a car show, for example. This dominance has resulted in test-drive booking figures so successful that they keep on coming back for more. Take a look… Contacts
