What he said 💔😢

Dougal Shaw asked to interview me for todays article the same day I had to tell our staff we were shutting down 😢 It’s some consolation that Sook still features in it in spite of my unavailability to comment. It is clear that there is a huge opportunity for more flexible engagement between landlords and occupiers. Its profitable and good for community. I still hope to play an important part in driving this agenda forward. https://lnkd.in/eJYyhbN3

Sad news from Sook founder John Hoyle
Real estate professional, Development Director and award winning founder. Leader of high performing multi-disciplinary teams across three continents.
I’m devastated to announce the closure of Sook yesterday. In spite of the extraordinary efforts of our team, growing sales and achieving international scale we were unable to raise sufficient investment to continue in the current environment. I’m so proud of all that we achieved and incredibly sad that we cannot continue. Please support our team members as they search for new roles. They have first hand experience of disrupting the retail and real estate sectors during incredibly challenging times. Thank-you to everyone who supported us over the last five years.

Is the demand for IRL events underestimated? Tonight’s traditional Colombia Road carols in London have been canceled due to a sudden surge in attendees at last week’s event following viral TikTok videos. The event usually attracts a few hundred people for a singalong around the local churches’ piano and the street’s independent stores stay open for late night shopping. However, last week around ten times the usual number of people attended which has led to the event’s cancellation over safety fears. Is TikTok’s viral nature the sole cause in the surge of attendees or is the appetite for lRL experiences increasing? Leave your thoughts in the comments...

Irish beauty brand of the year Ella & Jo Cosmetics came to Sook on Oxford Street to host their first international pop-up activation. The event was a resounding success with a founders meet and greet, product giveaways and lots of prizes. 🛍 In this year’s State of Fashion Beauty report, McKinsey & Company highlighted that “Expanding through direct-to-consumer plays will be key to building or defending market share. One path forward for brands with sufficient capital is to develop physical experiential spaces.”📈 To learn more about the benefits of a pop-up activation, get in touch with us today via our website. #beautypopup #experientialmarketing #sookspaces
