ELTON JOHN MANCHESTER TAKEOVER .
The Brief.
While working on Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, we worked on some truly spectacular campaigns! So, when it was time to take the stage in Manchester, we knew we had to pull it out of the bag. With that in mind, we turned our eyes to the busiest spot in the city… Victoria!
The Outcome .
Our team orchestrated a spectacular event at Victoria Station that left onlookers in awe. We decked out the area with elaborate decorations, including impressive 6″ sheets, a stunning archway of the legendary Elton John, and a vibrant yellow brick road. To add to the ambience, a skilled pianist performed live music for commuters.
