Why Pulse

Strategic Thinking, Not Off-The-Shelf Activations

Every brief starts with strategy, not a catalogue — we work out what your audience and venue actually need before we design anything. Every activation is then fully customised to your brand, space and sponsors, backed by the delivery support and specialist partners to execute it properly, with reporting configured around the metrics that matter for your brief — footfall, dwell time, data capture and sponsor value — not just how the day felt.

Case Studies

A Closer Look At Our Work

Nine activations, mapped from brief to outcome — across retail, sport, hospitality, waterfront, awards and culture.

Shopping Centre Trail

Challenge: Drive footfall and dwell time across the centre during a quieter trading period.
Idea: A story-driven Quest trail branded to the centre, designed to route visitors past every unit.
Delivery: Branded trail signage, a mobile-led Quest experience and on-site staff support across a multi-week campaign.
Results: Longer average visits, and a trail visitors wanted to finish and share.
Media: Full activation video, on-site photography and social content captured throughout the campaign.

Matchday Fan Zone

Challenge: Give matchday fans something to do beyond the concourse queues.
Idea: A branded fan zone activation combining interactive games with sponsor integration.
Delivery: A concourse-based fan zone, built and staffed for every home matchday across the season.
Results: A more engaged crowd, and genuine sponsor visibility inside the experience.
Media: Matchday highlight reel and fan-generated content from the activation.

Waterfront Guest Trail

Challenge: Turn passing waterfront visitors into active participants, not just passers-by.
Idea: An interactive guest trail woven into the marina's existing walkways and berths.
Delivery: A self-guided Quest experience with waterfront-branded touchpoints, launched across peak season.
Results: Visitors explored more of the waterfront, and left with an experience worth sharing.
Media: Guest experience video and photography from across the season.

Award Evening Branding

Challenge: Make a sponsor-funded awards evening feel premium and visibly sponsor-branded throughout.
Idea: End-to-end evening branding — entrance, tables, stage and photo moments — built around sponsor visibility.
Delivery: LED entrance branding, table centres, stage backdrops and a branded photo wall, installed and staged for the evening.
Results: A cohesive, premium evening with sponsor branding present at every guest touchpoint.
Media: Stage reveal and evening atmosphere video, plus photography from the night.

Museum Discovery Trail

Challenge: Bring a static collection to life for visitors of all ages.
Idea: A discovery trail that turns exhibits into checkpoints in a wider story.
Delivery: A branded self-guided trail with interactive checkpoints, deployed across the collection.
Results: Visitors engaged more deeply with the collection, and dwell time increased.
Media: Discovery trail video and visitor photography.

Hotel Welcome Experience

Challenge: Turn a guest's arrival into a memorable moment, not just a check-in.
Idea: A branded welcome photo experience guests take part in as soon as they arrive.
Delivery: An AI photo experience installed in the lobby, staffed during peak arrival hours.
Results: A shareable welcome moment, and a lobby guests actually stopped in.
Media: Guest experience video and welcome-moment photography.

GKN Aerospace — 25th Anniversary

GKN Aerospace — 25th Anniversary Gala

Challenge: Mark a milestone 25th anniversary with an evening that felt genuinely celebratory, not just another awards dinner.
Idea: End-to-end venue branding built around the anniversary identity — entrance, photo wall and table centres all carrying the same visual thread.
Delivery: A branded balloon arch entrance, matching step-and-repeat photo wall and illuminated table centrepieces, styled throughout the venue.
Results: A cohesive, celebratory atmosphere from arrival through to dinner, with branding present at every guest touchpoint.
Media: On-site branding photography from the event.

Adidas — Spin For Speed

Adidas — Adizero Spin For Speed

Challenge: Bring a product launch to life in-store and give customers a reason to stop, play and stay longer.
Idea: A branded spin-to-win activation paired with an AI photo experience, positioned at the heart of the store.
Delivery: A prize wheel and interactive AI-photo locker box installed and staffed across the in-store activation dates.
Results: Sustained footfall to the activation zone throughout opening hours, with customers actively engaging rather than walking past.
Media: On-site activation photography from the store.

Water Industry Awards 2026

Challenge: Give a sector awards night a centrepiece moment worth photographing and sharing.
Idea: An illuminated trophy centrepiece and matching entrance branding, tying the whole evening to the awards identity.
Delivery: Branded entrance pillars, a photo wall and an illuminated circular trophy centrepiece, installed and staged for the ceremony.

Media: On-site branding photography from the ceremony.
