Our Role
- Find a suitable partner for a UK food pop-up and broker the deal
- Manage planning process: contract, activation design, product selection, launch, on-going marketing
- Maximise PR angles, social engagement and influencer content
Our Approach
We partnered with Ichiba – Europe’s largest Japanese food hall – to create the UK's first Miffy food pop-up in Westfield White City.
Delicious dishes on offer included Miffy-shaped buns filled with red bean paste, carrot-shaped buns filled with matcha custard, matcha buttercream Miffy cookies, plus a range of Miffy-inspired lattes.
Westfield shoppers couldn't fail to notice the pop-up, thanks to eye-catching window decals. Once inside there were colourful backdrops, a large diplay of exclusive Miffy merchandise and a giant Miffy lamp as a selfie prop.
We drove footfall in-store and online engagement around the activation via: free family craft activities, costume character appearances, press coverage in listings press, daily social media content plus a recipe demonstration from GBBO star Kim Joy.
