Time Out Group plc’s Post

March was fun! 🤩 🪩 Exciting collaboration: A highlight of the month was our new partnership with the Hoxton hotel – an international trendy energetic brand with locations across Europe and the US. Les Amis and Hoxton are united by the same values: diversity, local community, and connection —so this is a partnership made in heaven. This marks a significant step in partnering with international brands that share our values to scaling our our mission to provide unique and enriching experiences for our members globally. To open our collaboration, for one night we transformed the hotel into Members’ playground during a uniquely themed Sleepover Pyjama Party👘🍿: popcorn, karaoke, sweet corner and bubbles - what can be more fun? The event was a big success! This marks a significant step in our mission to provide unique and enriching experiences for our members. 📈 Membership demand surges: We are thrilled to report that the number of applications grew by 30% in the last month. As we still on the waitlist, and accept a limited number of applications each month, we prioritise referrals from existing Members. 🌍 Exciting Expansion: April promises to bring new adventures as we prepare to launch in our third city. Any guesses where we're off to next?

Big fan of Time Out! The Lisbon venue is always bustling with energy and has an incredible vibe, whether it's day or night. Excited to hear about their expansion into more amazing locations!

In a trading update for the year ended 30 June 2024, the group said it has delivered improving sales growth rates, with both Media and Market sales accelerating during the final quarter of the financial year. The strength of the sales performance has been accompanied by disciplined management of costs and, accordingly, the group expects Ebitda for the year to be ahead of current market expectations (consensus being £6.7m Ebitda pre IFRS16 and £11.7m post IFRS16). The group highlighted the successful opening of Time Out Porto in May, bringing its portfolio to eight locations, with a further eight new Markets in development and opening over the next 36 months.

We whipped up an event for IMMO overseas for a cool 150 attendees, and guess what? It only took us 6 weeks from idea to execution. Juggling their international squad from spots like the UK, Portugal, Spain, India, Germany, and Canada? Just another day at Goho. Achieving the seemingly Herculean? Goho 🤝 pulling it off. Our checklist?  ➡️Snagging a venue spacious enough  ➡️ Roping in the best suppliers We micromanaged the deets:  ➡️ The perfect AV set-up  ➡️ Top-notch entertainment  ➡️ Ambience-setting decor  ➡️ Scouting local attractions and oh-so-much more! The cherry on top? An enchanting bird walk, team bonding sessions, vineyard tours and lunches, rooftop cocktails, and live jams. Their verdict? Over the moon. Spoiler: They're queuing up to get more of the Goho magic for their future events. London's crème de la crème in event planning? That's us, and we aren't shy to flaunt it.😉 #events #eventmanagement #eventsagency #abroadevent

Some years ago, I was just another guest at a birthday party in a venue called Oche, a competitive socialising hotspot in Oslo. We ate, we drank, we laughed, and we engaged in a friendly, but of course a competitive game of modern darts. At that time I was operating high-end hotels in the Nordics, and little did I know that this venue was part of a rapidly emerging global trend. And even less did I foresee that I would, a few short years later, be leading an important player in this space, The Social Gaming Group. Competitive socialising - the fusion of high-quality food, expertly crafted cocktails, and engaging activities like digital darts and shuffleboard - is reshaping the hospitality industry. It's more than entertainment; it's about building connections, fostering camaraderie, and creating unforgettable experiences in an increasingly digital world. Since that night at Oche, our chain has grown from one venue in Norway to a global presence spanning eight venues across three continents. And we're just getting started. We are on the brink of announcing partnerships with more franchisees worldwide, bringing our unique blend of competition, fun, and global cuisine to even more communities. We look forward to sharing more updates as we continue on this exciting path. I didn't win that night, but I walked away with something far more valuable - a glimpse into the future of hospitality. #CompetitiveSocializing #Hospitality #Innovation #ExperienceEconomy #Franchisee #Oche #TheSocialGamingGroup

🔆 Last Wednesday, my team and I gathered in Berlin for an offsite, and the slogan on the wall in the hotel lobby fits perfectly with our team journey: living, belonging, and growing. ➡ LIVE: It is essential to live in the present and treat each other with respect and on an equal level. As we are all human individuals with our own challenges, as well as good and bad times being part of our lives. On Wednesday, we forgot all our challenges and had a great day full of activities in Berlin. ➡ BELONG: Belonging in a team is vital for fostering unity and collaboration. It creates a supportive environment where members feel valued, understood, and empowered to contribute their best. This happens best when meeting physically and sharing positive experiences together. ➡ GROW: This team is full of knowledge, experience, and potential. How to grow it further? The best way to do it is to create trust among each other and foster a "can-do mentality," where we support and help each other to grow. As we departed Berlin, we carried with us a stronger bond and trust that we will face all challenges ahead of us as one strong sourcing team! #PeopleMakeItHappen, #GSUS

Our second IMEX America takeaway explores the meaningful conversations around belonging and accessibility in events. • Maayan Ziv had a powerful message to event planners, “accessibility isn’t about compliance and box checking” • Accessibility and belonging have a symbiotic relationship–how can you create a sense of belonging if your attendees can’t even get in the door? • Designing for belonging is all in the details–so pay attention to lighting, quiet spaces, seating, inclusive food choices, subtitles on videos. Your participants won’t feel they belong if they don’t feel considered • Accessibility drives growth: David Allison, founder of Valuegraphics, highlighted: “Individuals that experience belonging are 160% more likely to recommend”
