Community = EVERYTHING 🤝

Community became the heart of impactful branded events in 2024, and it was front and center at the Community Day we produced in Manchester. Here’s how we made it happen:

✨ The purpose: Together with Represent’s Head of Community, , we curated an intimate event to bring 50 of their most engaged customers face-to-face with founders George and Michael and their leadership team. The goal? To celebrate the brand’s story, share its journey, and strengthen connections with its loyal community.

✨ The experience:
🎤 We crafted an agenda that included talks from Represent’s founders and team, highlighting the brand’s timeline since 2012, and weaving their mission statement into every element of the event.
🎮 Branded fun and games kept the vibe interactive and engaging.
🎁 Goodie bags, filled with exclusive merch and thoughtful surprises, added that extra special touch!
🎧 Thanks to expert tech checks from our event producer, Talia, every moment went off without a hitch.

✨ Why it matters: Events like these showcase the importance of building a real connection with your audience—beyond products or services. By focusing on storytelling, shared values, and a sense of belonging, Represent is creating a lasting community that grows far beyond the event itself.

We’re proud to have brought this vision to life. If you’re a brand wanting to tap into the power of community in 2025, COMMENT below💬👇

Ultimate Christmas party ideas⬇️🎄🪽

Now not every client keeps to a traditional Christmas theme, which is one of the best parts of the creative process!

We produced a unique ‘Heaven and Hell’ themed party for our client, Puma, at Manchester’s Albert Hall for 200 guests.. and what. a. night! They wanted a Christmas Party with a twist. No boring corporate themes here… but with such an iconic brand, the challenge was to develop the creative theme and identity, but ‘Make it PUMA,’ ensuring guests are entertained throughout, with the brand front and centre.

Some of our favourite bits:

🪽Angels vs dark angels
🐍 Snake charmers
🎻 A laser violinist!

Drop a 😈 if this is a theme you love!

We’ve had an absolute blast bringing the Squashies experience zone to life at the iconic ! 🎉🍬

Visitors can also enjoy free Squashies, spin-the-wheel games with exciting prizes, and even the chance to win tickets to future Co-op Live shows. 🎶🎭

It’s been a joy helping Swizzels bring their sweet vision to life at the UK’s largest entertainment venue, creating a fun-filled space for music and comedy fans alike. Huge thanks to Swizzels for trusting us to make it happen and to Co-op Live for hosting this incredible experience.

50 event industry founders in one room – here’s what we learnt!⬇️

An incredible afternoon at the Leader Lunch for Founders in the Events Industry, hosted by at the stunning 🏙️

The event gave us valuable industry insights, including:

🔄 Agencies are evolving, diversifying their offerings beyond live events to include services like content production, venue sourcing, and hospitality—an approach we’ve already adopted.

📱 Gen Z is reshaping how we communicate—they prefer receiving information in innovative ways. As a result, sales roles are transitioning into client services, where clients expect to experience our capabilities rather than simply be told about them. The key is to engage clients on their terms and communicate in the way they prefer.

🚨 The events industry is currently facing significant financial pressures, with long working hours and increasing demands not being reflected in overall profits.

✨ The focus is shifting toward creating lasting experiences, with clients moving away from traditional one-night events centered around alcohol. More are now open to extending events into weekends, including Saturdays, for a more meaningful engagement.

A heartfelt touch—our beautiful notebook favors were handmade by children in Ghana💛🌍
