For a guerrilla campaign to promote GSK’s leading allergy relief product, Piriton, we supplied 44 staff (including 2 Event Managers) per day for 5 days of the Royal Chelsea Flower Show. The campaign re-created the well known Piriton TV commercials in a real life setting, utilising promotional staff, bespoke signs, Look Walkers™, advertising scooters, branded Smart Cars, and a bus wrapped in flowers which took people to the flower show each day.

Prior to the event, Engage held an in-depth briefing session with the different teams. The Event Managers were crucial to the implementing the changing requirements of the client throughout each day – e.g. re-directing staff around the area to maximise exposure and setting up the photo shoot used for PR activity.

Circa 60,000 people were directly exposed to the campaign, and the activity was featured in Event Magazine.

To promote Westminster’s new car parking services, we sent out energetic street teams with the main aim of informing drivers and local businesses of the savings they could make by switching from their usual on-street parking spots.

Engage Team Leaders were employed to motivate and manage the teams, track and record distribution of promotional materials, and visit local businesses (hotels, restaurants etc) in the area to encourage them to take leaflets and pass on information to their clients.

After 18 days of activity over 2 months we had increased the occupancy by 40%, gained exposure on BBC news and in several newspapers, and practically cleared the on-street parking bays!

Following our previous successes with Primark store openings around the UK, we helped to launch the new Primark store in Derby. 6 Promotional staff wearing Look Walkers™ moved around the city centre interacting with the public, handing out branded balloons, and directing excited shoppers to the store.

For this campaign Engage sent an experienced Event Manager from London to carry equipment, meet and brief local staff before the event, liaise with the client and store staff, take photos, and contribute towards the post campaign feedback report upon completion.

Hundreds of people literally mobbed outside the doors for the grand opening – click here to see a video: Primark Derby Opening.
