Continuing our N2Ostalgia series, we're throwing it back to 2014 with an award-winning campaign all about Style, Sounds, and Social – introducing Lynx’s Black Space🖤. To regain relevance, Lynx launched a sophisticated fragrance range, and we helped bring this vision to life with their first flagship store, Black Space, just off Brick Lane. Guests revelled in performances from artists such as Kodaline and Tinie Tempah and brushed shoulders with celebrities like Anthony Joshua. They could shop the capsule collections, get treatments and haircuts from on-site barbers. Attend inspirational talks from speakers like Jamal Edwards. Black Space had it all. We loved delivering this incredible event for Lynx. “Working with N2O on the Lynx Black campaign was an exceptional experience. Their creativity, insight, and dedication elevated our brand to new heights, holding the UK market up as best in class around the world.” - Mark Aschmann, Lynx Brand Manager at Unilever Unilever N2O Mark Aschmann #lynxblackspace #lynx #unilever #experientialmarketing #brandevents

2019’s N2Ostalgia comes in the fabulous form of the exclusive launch of megastar Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty in the UK. This VIP event turned Boots stores into a Fenty-fied experience like no other! We had make-up artists giving "Fenty on the Fly" makeovers, DJ Yuki spinning Rihanna's tracks, and even Rihanna's global make-up artist Hector making an appearance! Our Head of Client Services, Julia Collis, recalled, “The excitement and buzz were off the scale, setting the bar for future influencer events, which we now regularly deliver without batting an eyelid!” Our impact was undeniable— with #FentyBeautyxBoots trending on social and driving significant sales uplift. This launch wasn't just a moment; it was a movement! Savage X Fenty Kendo Brands, Inc. Boots UK N2O Julia Collis Elise Horler #fentybeauty #productlaunch #brandexperiences #retailmarketing

For the next in our N2Ostalgia series, we're throwing it back to 2018 for a festival beauty experience with a twist. All Out Beauty was a groundbreaking experiential concept that allowed brands the space and opportunity to achieve results they wouldn’t be able to reach on their own. This first-of-its-kind, multi-brand experience saw brands such as Schwarzkopf and Accessorize hit festivals across the UK. Our All Out Beauty shipping container was home to zones, so each brand had the space to do what they do best - whether it was hair, make-up or glittering body art. Attendees swung in the rainbow Impulse “Love is Love” hammocks, crooned to Citroens carpool karaoke (yes, we did it before James Corden) and browsed the Lancaster Suncare sample shop. The invite-only rooftop retreat provided the perfect view of the festival, where select guests, social influencers and VIPs relaxed with refreshing drinks and watched the headline acts. Topped off with photo ops galore, All Out Beauty was a beacon for health, beauty & wellbeing on the summer festival circuit and was the beginning of the reign of the multi-brand experience! ✨ "All Out Beauty was such a success because it brought an exciting, hands-on beauty experience directly to festival-goers, allowing them to engage with top brands and try out bold, creative looks in a fun and vibrant setting. The event also enabled brands to tap into a female Gen Z audience, offering them a unique opportunity to connect and engage on a meaningful level. The combination of professional styling, interactive zones, and the inclusion of beauty influencers made the experience memorable, creating a lasting impact on attendees. And by popular demand 2025 could be the All Out Beauty come back year!" - Clare James, Chief Operating Officer at N2O Becks Graham Rosie Townsend Clare James #alloutbeauty #festivalexperiences #multibrandexperiences #experientialmarketing

Name a better combination than ice cream and a mission to tackle climate change. 🍦🌍 The next of our N2Ostalgia campaigns did just that—with Ben & Jerry’s Big Ice Screening and Cookie tour in 2015. The brand has a huge social mission to tackle climate change, so we set out with ice cream in hand to deliver this message to the masses. Over three days, we took over Clapham Common with a luxe outdoor cinema showing eight blockbuster films. There was free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream aplenty and a climate change petition orchestrated by the brand with a pledge to better the planet. But this wasn’t just an ordinary outdoor cinema. The entire event was driven by sustainable energy, with attendees getting to jump on bikes and cycling to power the screen. Plus, solar panels, biodiesel and hybrid generators kept the films and stands rolling until the credits. Elsewhere, we took the iconic Ben & Jerry’s van on a 20-day London tour. Equipped with solar panels and hydrocarbon freezers, we spread the climate change message far and wide, sampling over 200,000 of the Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Core range. “My favourite activation I worked with N2O was the “The Big Ice Screening by Ben & Jerry's" we did in 2015 in Clapham Common. It was an incredible event because it was putting together the brand's historical heritage (the festivals), the business objectives (innovation launch and samplings) and the Social Mission objectives (climate change) in a seamless and very relevant consumer way (who doesn’t like to enjoy an ice cream while watching a movie?). The result was three full days of the film festival, during which consumers could try the new delicious Ben & Jerry's latest range of ice cream while pedalling on bikes to power the maxi screen projecting the movies. We were blessed with amazing weather, which is a plus in the UK! N2O was instrumental in the creation of the idea as well as its execution, supported by the full Ben & Jerry's team. Such a great collaboration between two passionate and dedicated teams.” - Alessandra Salvo, Brand Manager at Ben & Jerry’s Unilever N2O Becks Graham Alessandra Salvo #benandjerrys #experientialmarketing #sustainability #brandexperiences

The next campaign in our N2Ostalgia series landed in Waterloo Station in 2014 in a prism of technicolour and technology with Dove. 🕊️ The Dove Prism deodorant was the first proven to leave no marks on coloured clothes, so we set out to help women unlock their confidence and wear any colours they want without worrying about streaky deodorant marks. We dove in at Waterloo Station, fully branding it with Dove, targeting a colourful cohort of consumers heading to Royal Ascot’s Ladies Day. Our lounge set-up captured stunning photos of Ascot attendees in their glitz and glam, which were then broadcast for all to see on the digital screens towering above the station forecourt. A fun fabric spray wall and a supporting guerrilla marketing campaign at Ascot to engage and educate consumers were the rainbow cherry on top of this fabulous experience. Check it out below! 🌈 Dove Unilever N2O #n2ostalgia #dove #brandexperiences #experientialmarketing #digitalservices

The next N2Ostaglia campaign was truly out of this world! 🚀🧑🚀 In 2013, this iconic space adventure was the UK launch of Lynx Apollo and its bold ‘Leave a Man, Come Back a Hero’ campaign. It was one of Lynx’s most memorable and daring campaigns to date, to give a man the lead in the dating scene with the chance to become an astronaut - literally! We sourced astronauts to star in press photo calls, taking them for a trip on the tube and locations nationwide. They even moonwalked into Aston Villa’s Villa Park, where they joined millions of football fans cheering on Belgian striker Christian Benteke live on Sky Sports. This stunt became the Daily Mail’s sport photo of the week, reaching over 142,000 people on Twitter, mentioning the ‘Villa astronauts.’ At the official Lynx Space Academy launch event, our astronauts rubbed shoulders with celebs like Olympic gymnast Louis Smith and actor Danny Dyer, securing print and online coverage. Then we flew our experience into Tesco, where our space dome competition captured shoppers in ‘zero gravity’. Jumping in the centre of a circle of cameras, participants got snapped at rocket speed, creating a video that showed them defying gravity Matrix-style and won them an entry into a space camp competition!🧑🚀 Tesco Unilever TMW Mischief N2O Elise Horler Nicola Johnson #n2ostalgia #lynx #brandmarketing #experientialmarketing #tesco

🌊 Sprite “Cooling Zone” at Boardmasters 2024 🌊   In the (unusually) warm British weather, we collaborated with Sprite to bring its own Pyramid stage to Boardmasters festival on the stunning Newquay coast.   Supporting Sprite’s proposition of “heat happens, stay cool”, the Cooling Zone provided a space in the shade where festivalgoers could meet friends, charge their phones, and generally chill out with panoramic views of the crashing surf.   Partnering with Sprite on this “cool” campaign was a pleasure – we’re already looking forward to next year’s festival!   The Coca-Cola Company N2O Sara Porter Izzy Crawley Amber Meighan Emma Walsh Steve C.

🌊 Coke Studio Stage at Boardmasters 2024 🌊   In partnership with Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, we gave surfers and festivalgoers an “Only Coke can do” experience, with unrivalled moments and memories shared with friends through music.   The Coke Studio Stage provided the perfect party hub, with a photo op shared across the Studio Stage big screen, Coke Studio branded merch, performances from upcoming LGBTQIA+ artists in collaboration with Gay Times and cold, refreshing samples of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. Talents such as Donnie Sunshine, Lordin and Alexa Joyce set the crowds alight with electric performances as the sun set over the Newquay dunes.   We loved hitting the coast with this Coke experience and making a proper splash at Boardmasters!   The Coca-Cola Company N2O Florence Wheatley Omar Sadiq-Baig Amber Meighan Jo Jenner Tom Stalker Paul Gillam Jamie Leslie-Readon Sam Hood   #cocacola #boardmasters #gaytimes #experientialmarketing #brandexperiences #festivals
