Experiential campaign for Heathrow Express travel.
iMP designed and built an experiential installation for Heathrow Express at Christmas. We created a custom box-frame steel welded tree, snow covered mounds and festive decor for a 3 day event at Paddington Station in London.
Heathrow Express engaged us to create a Christmas experiential event at Paddington Station in London. The idea was to encourage travellers and customers to have their photos taken against the backdrop of our custom installation. As the activation was in December the theme was a snowy winter Christmas theme, with colour coordinated hanging chairs made to look like baubles hanging from a tree.
iMP created the entire Christmas installation and set using our in-house design and build team. From hand forming the snowy mounds in the workshop, to coating them in eco-friendly snow we hand made every aspect of the main event. The Christmas tree itself was made from welded steel tubes, wrapped in polystyrene, then moulded by hand. The coverings, glitter and lighting were all integrated into the set both pre-installation and on the day to create maximum effect. The colourways of the bauble chairs and hanging decoration matched the Heathrow Express brand guidelines.
The infamous Gemma Collins (The GC) also made an appearance to officially dealer the installation open. Surrounded by our Christmas Elves the event was a huge success gathering millions of social media impressions, increasing Heathrow Express’ followers and engagement, and PR coverage.
