What a year 2019 was, eh? For us, it was most definitely a year filled with successful brand campaigns. We have paired some of our all time favourite influencers with some of the UK’s hottest brands.
We thought we’d take a look at a few of our top brand campaigns of 2019. Looking at what we have achieved to date, we are excited to get stuck in to 2020!
January 2019
We kicked off the year with an exciting campaign between Arsenal and one of the UK’s biggest rappers, Lethal Bizzle. The star worked with Arsenal and their sponsor Visit Rwanda to promote the first #RwandaChampionsChallenge.
Reaching an audience of almost two million, it is safe to say that the campaign was a huge success.
