LEGO Stunts & An ITV World Cup Fan Park Launch.

2014 was a brilliant year at Down At The Social.

We spent the year devising campaigns that generated headlines for our clients, helping them sell product and drive footfall, whilst making their brands famous.

We recreated some of the Uk’s favourite TV shows in LEGO for the LEGOLAND Discover Centre.  Favourites were the LEGO Oscar selfie, the Great Brickish Bake-off and #WhoKilledTina, Corrie’s greatest mystery yet.

We welcomed Netflix legend Lea Delaria to lead the Parade at Manchester Pride, managed a press conference with Eurovision darling Conchita Wurst and took selfies with all of the stars of the Big Weekend from Pixie Lott to Foxes. Our coverage on the Manchester Evening News website generated nearly 2 million hits over four days. Amazing.

It was World Cup year for those who didn’t notice!  Even though England didn’t do so well in the competition, we made sure our clients faired much better.

ITV Fever Pitch welcomed thousands of people from across the North West to experience the highs and lows of the tournament from their Brazilian themed hideaway in the Old Granada Studios. They even put on a 4D broadcast pumping out the smells of Brazil, cut grass and half time oranges to the eager fans.

Our sticker swap shops at Black Dog Ballroom had swappers flock to the venue to complete their collections and watch the games. We generated coverage on Sky Sports, Sky Sports News and BBC North West Tonight ensuring the venue off Oxford Road was the place to watch the World Cup in Manchester (alongside ITV Fever Pitch of course).
