Love isn’t only being celebrated at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, it’s being launched into the Midlands like Cupid’s gone rogue with a media plan and a glitter cannon 💗 Midsummer Night’s Dream has officially hit the stage at The Rep, delivering romance, chaos, and enough fairy-fuelled confusion to make you whisper “what the Puck?!”. And the campaign? Equally spellbinding. From bold, eye-catching OOH placements lighting up Birmingham to perfectly timed gym ads catching the attention of the Love Islanders mid-treadmill strut 👀, this one made sure romance was impossible to ignore. Birmingham got the full love potion treatment ✨

Online radio listening has just hit a new high 🫨 With people continually changing their listening habits and choosing to listen to their favourite stations via connected devices, online listening reached a new high of 30.4%, well ahead of AM/FM listening at 24%. Online listening provides us with the opportunity for more accurate targeting, lessening wastage, and gives us more scope to track the results of our ads. With its continuous growth, it shows just how powerful it is!

London just got a little more fabulous 🌸 The Debenhams July Festival is galloping back to Newmarket Racecourses, so we decided to bring a burst of glamour to the heart of London! Teaming up with BUILDHOLLYWOOD, we planned a bold, striking billboard to spread the festival’s vibrant energy and flair. Our favourite part? The tear away information pieces were made from seeded paper – so you could take a little festival cheer with you and even grow your own wildflowers! Now that’s what we call sustainable 👀

Seeing radio differently 👀 Izzy Hornblow and Ryan Lord went to London to Radiocentre’s radio training day and discovered why radio remains a trusted, growing medium that strengthens marketing strategies. Having activity across radio is still so effective, highlighting the power of sound and the different emotions it can make people feel. After a morning with Radiocentre, they headed to the Global studio, where they had a tour of the magic happening, and they even got to direct and produce a script with a voiceover artist. Of course, they had to get a few takes to see what other voices he could do 😅

It's the leading lady's birthday 🥳 Shakespeare Media wouldn't be here, or what it is, without Vicki’s fantastic leadership skills, and her kind and caring nature 🤍 Thank you for everything, and please join us in wishing Vicki a very Happy Birthday!

Took you long enough 👀 Alice Mills and Isobel N. got some fashion tips from Miranda Priestley herself last week, with Boomerang Media Ltd inviting them to a private screening of the new Devil Wears Prada 2 👠 It was a fantastic evening with an unmissable red carpet experience! That's all 😉

Fly high with airport advertising ✈️ The airport is a place where people’s behaviours change. Positivity, anticipation, and excitement all shape how audiences engage with advertising, creating the perfect environment for brands to stand out. With long dwell times and high footfall, airport advertising gave this Newmarket Racecourses campaign the space and attention to truly connect with a highly affluent, travel and tourism audience – isn't it a beauty 🤩

DMWF 2026 🤩 Alice Mills and Isobel N. ventured to the Big Smoke over the last two days to gain all the knowledge about industry changes and updates in the digital marketing world. They attended a number of talks, from how AI will continue to change the scope of digital marketing, to how influencer and creator marketing can make a huge impact on your marketing campaigns, plus so much more! It's always super interesting to listen to leading marketing professionals from different industries and learn about how they have adapted to the fast changing market, continuing to build success for their brands – using this knowledge to adapt and build our clients' marketing strategies and business goals. We can't wait to share what they have learned, so keep your eyes peeled 👀

Cheltenham Festival 2026 now wrapped up 🐎 Isobel N., Skylah Bird, Vicki Bravington headed to Cheltenham Racecourse to meet with The Jockey Club marketing and communication teams for a full campaign review. It was a valuable opportunity to reflect on what’s worked well, identify areas to build on, and shape how we continue supporting the growth of this iconic event. This year saw huge success with attendance up by an impressive 8,000 racegoers 👀 Exactly the kind of momentum we love to see. Nothing feels like Cheltenham - Truly! Roll on The Cheltenham Festival 2027 🙌

Celebrating the success of The Randox Grand National Festival 2026 in style 🏇 Vicki Bravington, Isobel N. and Skylah Bird headed into London to meet up with the Aintree Racecourse marketing team and Simon from Shakespeare Creative Ltd. We discussed all things horse racing, delving into the success of the 2026 festival and our plans for 2027 (safe to say we're getting ahead 👀). The night ended with karaoke, can’t say they’ll be getting on X Factor anytime soon… But we definitely celebrated the success of 2026! Thank you, James Rennard, Lydia O'Neill, Becky Hughes and Amy Scott for being so fabulous – we can't wait to see what The Randox Grand National Festival 2027 has in store 🥂
