Globe partnered with Samsung and Mabel to put together the world’s first vertical gig to celebrate the launch of Samsung KX experience space in Coal Drops Yard, London.
The first-of-its-kind set boasted a stacked three-story stage over 9 metres high, allowing all elements of gig to be seen and heard in a vertical symphony. Pop and R’n’B sensation, Mabel, performed with her band, DJ and dancers across multiple levels, so the crowd could snap the perfect shot.
The campaign was inspired by research showing that 94% of smartphone users are now engaging with their devices vertically, while 79% find vertical videos the most interesting. As a result, Samsung KX created the ultimate vertical performance both on and off screen, optimised for the crowd to capture and share instantly across social media.
The vertical gig took place at the iconic kissing point in Coal Drops Yard, home to the newly opened 22,000sq ft Samsung KX experience space – a place of discovery for those living in and visiting London. This is the first of many big events to be held at the space, each event tapping into community passions and Samsung’s brand ethos to ‘do what you can’t’.
Globe’s production arm Globe Production filmed the gig and delivered multiple edits for press, socials online and OOH within 24hrs. The partnership culminated in a 40-second edit for London’s most iconic outdoor site, Piccadilly Circus with a full screen-takeover for a limited time. Globe Production also produced a full-track performance film of Mabel’s “Don’t Call Me Up” for the Samsung KX in-store screen as a legacy piece post launch.
Mabel, commented: “London will always be close to my heart as I’ve made so much music here and I’m honoured and excited to headline the world’s first vertical gig at Samsung KX. This type of forward-thinking performance paves the way for more innovation within the city’s live music scene.”
Tanya Weller, Director of Samsung Showcase, KX said: “We are so excited to bring the world’s first vertical gig to London. This experience was designed to give guests the ultimate performance at Samsung KX – a moment that’s tailored to how they like to capture and view photos and videos on their smartphone. Samsung KX is committed to bringing innovation & culture to the capital and first-of-its-kind experiences like the vertical gig are just the beginning. We fuse cutting-edge technology and grass roots culture so that guests can learn new skills, try something different and essentially ‘do what they can’t’.”

Fostering Vans’ commitment to celebrating the best new music and positioning as one of London’s key live music venues, House of Vans London provided the perfect partnership with British MC, Loyle Carner, to launch his highly anticipated sophomore album “Not Waving, But Drowning”.
The exclusive album launch saw Loyle Carner take to the stage, joined by special guests, such as Jorja Smith, Jordan Rakei and Rebel Kleff, performing to over 800 fans who were first to hear new tracks live and given the opportunity to take home the album at the end of the night.
Fans applied to attend the free one-off gig via a ballot which achieved over 20,000 entries; the second-highest ballot for a live music event by House of Vans London.
In addition to Loyle’s performance, the House of Vans gallery hosted an exhibition curated by Loyle’s friends, family and some of the UK’s most exciting artists, including pieces from Damien Hirst and The Connor Brothers. The gallery was put together in partnership with House of Vans, The Other Art Fair and male suicide charity CALM [Campaign Against Living Miserably], for which Loyle is an Ambassador. Artists created original pieces in response to a specific track on the new album, which attendees could listen to whilst browsing the gallery.
The exhibition remained on display a week after the gig, culminating in key artworks sold in an online auction with all proceeds going to CALM.

To mark a unique brand collaboration with Formula 1® and launch their 2019 season, Virgin EMI’s iconic duo, The Chemical Brothers, have launched the fastest remix of all time. The three second track, WGTT15000BPM F1 NEEEUM MIX, matches BPM to RPM of an F1 car and will become the sport’s new sonic identity, whilst the full track ‘We’ve Got To Try’, accompanied by F1 inspired music video, is sound of the 2019 season.
The partnership, managed by Globe, tasks The Chemical Brothers, famous the world over for pushing machines and technology to their limits via their music, to transform a brand-new track into the iconic sound of an F1 car roaring past at high speed. ‘We’ve Got To Try’, from the forthcoming new album ‘No Geography’, is broken down, re-engineered and accelerated to 15,000 beats per minute (BPM) to reflect the 15,000 revs per minute (RPM) that today’s hyper-complex F1 cars are capable of reaching.
‘WGTT15000BPM F1 NEEEUM MIX’ is the result of that experiment and amounts to the fastest remix of all time — an appropriate claim for F1®, the pinnacle of motorsport.
At three seconds long, NEEEUM is the new global sonic identity for F1 and ‘We’ve Got To Try’ is the sound of the F1 2019 season.
To further reflect a sport in which every second counts, the remix is accompanied by a film that shows a dog behind the wheel of an F1 car and commandeering a rocket into space. Commissioned by Globe/Virgin EMI, directed by Ninian Doff the mastermind behind their video for ‘Sometimes I Feel So Deserted’ in 2015, ‘We’ve Got To Try’ is accompanied by a gripping new video that tells a tale of heroic canine endeavor. An abandoned dog, ‘Girl’, is plucked from the street and in a classic rags-to-riches story embarks on an intrepid journey of self-discovery. Through sheer force of will, she rises through the ranks of motorsport, and much, much more...

Globe was challenged by Dove to find an artist that could tell the real-life stories of young girls who had experienced hair discrimination as part of the brands their Self-Esteem Foundation.
The tales came from young girls who had been bullied because their short hair made them look like a boy; who were expelled from school because they wore braids in their hair…. The list goes on.
Globe identified Kelly Rowland as an artist that would perfectly fit the campaign and together with producer Harmony Samuels penned the original anthem ‘CROWN’ also based on her own experiences - “I remember my mom saying, ‘Your hair is your crowning glory.’ And I want girls to look at their hair as their crowning glory”.
Flying out to Toronto to meet the girls who inspired her track, Kelly filmed a music video over three days with the esteemed Director Hannah Lux Davis. The track was then released by Island Records UK and was featured on eight global playlists within two days.
To further spread the anthem’s message a two-minute video was featured during an ad break during the Grammy pre-show on E! TV featuring a special message from Kelly Rowland to inspire people everywhere to join in on the #MyHairMyCrown conversation.
In the first week earned press coverage came from Teen Vogue, People, Essence, Billboard, MSN and the music video viewed 562K times across streaming platforms.

Raye partnered with Timberland to launch new boot, the London Square, with a 90’s inspired music video for the exclusive Wideboys’ UKG Remix of RAYE’s hit track ‘Decline feat. Mr Eazi’.
The yellow Timberland boot, favoured by workmen since its launch in the 70’s, was brought to cultural prominence in the 90’s by american hip-hop artists like the Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Tupac and DMX. The popularity of the boot within the music industry elevated its status into a timeless fashion staple.
Inspired by this remixing, RAYE’s video features modern twists on 90’s culture and pays homage to legendary music videos, with references including: Missy Elliot, Aaliyah, Lauryn Hill, Beastie Boys, Snoop Dogg & Dr Dre.
Shot in Raye’s hometown of London, the video was directed by Daniel Brereton with art direction by Aaron Sillis.
Speaking about the video RAYE said, “Icon is such a powerful word. As an artist, I think that to be truly iconic, your music, your style, your personality – it has to be 100% authentic. For this video, getting to celebrate some of my personal heroes and put my own twist on their iconic 90’s moments has been so much fun”.
SHEKU KANNEH-MASON PERFORMS IN PAUL SMITH’S A SUIT TO TRAVEL IN
This Autumn, Globe partnered the celebrated cellist Sheku Kanneh-Maso with the clothes designer Paul Smith to showcase the versatility of Smith’s signature piece, A Suit To Travel In.
The video, shot by filmmaker George Harvey, sees the Nottingham-born cellist play an extract from the physically demanding ‘Caprice No. 1’ by Piatti. “Piatti was mainly a cellist, not really a composer,” says Sheku, "so these pieces were written to help learn and practice different and difficult techniques on the cello".
Sheku’s rapid movements and expressive playing style put A Suit To Travel In to the test. The flexibility and comfort of the suit, matched with the natural breathable quality of the wool, help him to feel unrestricted and at ease, giving him the freedom to play.
"I developed A Suit To Travel In for people like me who are constantly moving and on the go and need a suit that still looks fresh", says Paul.
After the filming, Paul sat down with Sheku to discuss life, music and how it feels to perform in A Suit To Travel In.
2018 has already been an incredible year for the young musician. His debut album, Inspiration, broke into the top 20 of the UK album charts and became the UK’s best-selling classical album of the year. Then, in May, his Royal Wedding performance was watched by nearly two billion people and captured the imagination of audiences across the world. Paul personally dressed Sheku for his performance at the Royal Wedding in A Suit To Travel In, matched with a pair of colourful, striped Paul Smith socks.
The signature Paul Smith suit has been designed for comfort, flexibility and freedom of movement, is available in Paul Smith stores worldwide and from paulsmith.com.

Project: Aloft Star – The Search for a Star
The Project: Aloft Star Europe 2018 contest, which launched on Monday 13th August 2018, is part of Marriott International's first-of-its-kind global partnership with UMG&B, which has evolved to include a focus on developing emerging talent. Aspiring artists are invited to submit an original song for consideration. Those who get through the initial selection process and public voting went on to perform in front of headline judge and Artist Ambassador JP Cooper, known for his hit songs 'September Song' and 'Perfect Strangers', as well as an expert panel of judges in November at the Aloft Hotel in Munich, Germany.
Musicians could enter the contest for a chance to win a prize that includes:
Releasing their own single through one of UMG's prestigious music labels
Production of a music video to accompany their single
Dedicated A&R mentoring from UMG's unrivalled executives
Audio Recording Booths For Shower Superstars
For guests who normally prefer to keep their vocal talents to singing in the shower, there will be the chance to step into state-of-the-art shower audio recording booths set up in dedicated rooms at select locations around Europe during the course of Project: Aloft Star 2018. The booths take full advantage the room's acoustics by mimicking the experience of singing in the shower, but come fully-equipped with waterproof studio equipment that can be used to sing a song, record it, listen back or share it. Guests staying at Aloft Hotels in London, Brussels, Munich and Kiev will be able to access these special "shower studios" during their stay to coincide with the Project: Aloft Star 2018 competition.
"Each year we see incredible, undiscovered talent emerge through Project: Aloft Star. This year we're going a step further with a new partnership with Universal Music Group to nurture and support more emerging musicians," said John Licence, Vice President of Premium and Select Brands at Marriott International Europe. "Showers are synonymous with singing, so we put a fun spin on this by launching these voice recording booths using innovative technology to encourage even more superstars-in-the-making to bring their vocal talent out of the showers and into the spotlight."
"Having been on this journey myself, I'm really excited to be able to help shine a light on the next generation of musical talent," added Island Records U.K.-signed artist JP Cooper. "As Project: Aloft Star's artist ambassador and head judge for Europe, I can't wait to discover the emerging artists who will get the chance to be noticed throughout the competition and get that all important chance to record and digitally release their single, a deal that will change that person's life."
As a truly global hotel brand, Project: Aloft Star competitions ran with Aloft Hotels and UMG&B in the Americas, Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific to find the next big music stars in these regions.
The final in Munich in November 2018 saw the winners, Ukrainian band Adm:t, win the opportunity to record a single with UMG and gain access to mentoring opportunities with UMG representatives.
The runners up in the final included UK star Laura Murray, Turkey-born Müge Işık, Belgium entrant Melanie Mertens Polak and Danish Kingsley Q.
To celebrate the new GORE-TEX® INFINIUM™ product & brand launch, we took Sigrid, a GORE-TEX® ambassador, back to her hometown of Ålesund to try out the new range as part of the ‘Tested For Life’ campaign. The campaign is the beginning of the brand’s evolution into producing clothing that meets the needs of a wider range of people – suiting life in the cities as well as outdoors.
Globe & GORE-TEX® flew out to the port town on the west coast of Norway to follow Sigrid and photographer Johannes Lovund from the stunning surroundings of the Ocean Sounds Recording Studio all the way up to the top of well-known hiking destination Sukkertoppen Mountain. For Sigrid, going from the studio to the mountains in a matter of moments is normal for her, as is living through all the seasons in one day; this is her home, her ‘ favourite place in the world’ where she makes her music and finds inspiration from the natural landscape.
“If I get stuck in the studio we go out for fresh air. That’s the best way to get creative again. There’s a mix between urban and wildlife here, and these clothes work so well you can do both. It’s so important to me to take time out, to just chill. That state of mind can be very helpful, and healthy.” - Sigrid

UB40 feat Ali, Astro & Mickey have partnered with Virgin Holidays and Virgin Atlantic to launch a campaign to encourage British tourists to come back to the Caribbean after Hurricane Irma. There is a misconception that the Caribbean is completely destroyed after the recent hurricanes and it's threatening the region’s biggest economic driver; tourism.
Globe Productions and UB40 filmed a new music video to the band’s hit ‘Come Back Darling’ encouraging tourists to come back to the Islands following the devastation this year. Directed by James Barnes and shot in Antigua, the video’s purpose is to showcase the beauty of the island and that the Caribbean is rebuilding and open for business.
¬¬¬¬¬
The campaign was supported by Antigua and Barbuda’s government, including the prime minister Gaston Browne himself
The campaign was PR led by agency One Green Bean, which is part of Havas Worldwide. The campaign was covered across major print/online news and travel outlets, over 30 national and regional radio stations as well as national TV.
The band used this opportunity to plug and tease about their upcoming new album released via UMC next year.
Combined, the campaign has already reached more than 170 million people

GLOBE TEAMED UP WITH EA SPORTS TO PIT THE GLOBAL BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST OF 2017 BIG SHAQ AND FIFA FAN FAVOURITE DANNY WELBECK AGAINST EACH OTHER TO SEE WHO WOULD BE CROWNED KING OF THE #MATCHUPS
The Story:
EA Sports brief to Globe was to create a campaign that:
- Transcends FIFA 18 beyond the worlds of football and gaming.
- Sees FIFA 18 develop an editorial voice & own the conversation in the mainstream media and online to both broad and diverse football loving audiences.
- Makes FIFA 18 a culturally unmissable part of youth culture and to recruit and acquire the next generation of FIFA players.
Our Solution:
Footballers want to be rockstars and rockstars want to be footballers.
Whether it’s Yannick Bolasie laying down bars on Soccer AM, Jese Rodriguez releasing his own debut single (30m views and counting), Noel Gallagher begging to interview his footballing hero Mario Balotelli or Stormzy announcing the arrival of the world’s most expensive footballer in Paul Pogba, the synergy has never been tighter.
And the timing has never been more perfect.
Merging, arguably the three largest culturally relevant worlds of Sport, Gaming and Music, we wanted to ensure that we left nothing down to chance. We chose to work with THE most culturally relevant artist of 2017 in Big Shaq and a FIFA fan favourite footballer in Danny Welbeck to conceive, produce & deliver a piece of viral content that would celebrate the launch of the biggest sporting game of the year in true global style.
The Golden Rules for any brand partnership are…
Audience
Authenticity
Collaboration
Timing
Value
This collaboration hit every single apex.
Audience – at a time when Michael Dapaah’s latest persona Big Shaq was all anyone could talk about, we were able to deliver relevant content to an audience of X million music loving football fans
Authenticity – on his long awaited goalscoring return from injury Welbeck posts Big Shaq’s lyrics on his Instagram. This gave us our reason to sync the two up
Collaboration –We created a brand new format from scratch that was tailored to both Big Shaq & Danny Welbeck that worked for both EA and them.
Timing – 3 weeks after releasing the official music video for ‘Man’s Not Hot’ we were able to release our MatchUp to an audience who were actively seeking out any content that featured the sensation that was Big Shaq.
Activation
EA and UMG wanted to create a culturally relevant moment that helped EA to diversify their targeted audience for the release of FIFA 18….the World’s biggest sport game release of the year.
Big Shaq’s grime parody Man’s not hot has had over 166 million video views and has been streamed 45 million times on Spotify, and at the time was in the running for Christmas Number 1. We knew he was hot property, but we also started to see a clear synergy between Big Shaq and his HOT new track and football players and fans
Footballers were using his classic line ‘skrrrrp pap pap pap’ to celebrate their goals on-pitch and fans were creating their own versions of the track, substituting lyrics for football players. Using Universal Music’s insight and EA’s reactivity & knowledge of their audience, we sought to create a piece of content that was both socially and culturally pertinent and one which we knew would be extremely reactive. We matched Big Shaq with FIFA-fan favourite Danny Welbeck to go head-to-head in a game of FIFA 18 – ‘Winner takes the jacket’. The concept was humble and allowed both of their true personalities to shine. The execution and timing was immaculate.
We worked closely with EA to develop a strategic social and advertising strategy to ensure that we were cross-promoting all content to maximise reach, views and engagement.
Owning over 37 billion cookies of first-party data of our artist’s fans, we were able to establish that Big Shaq’s audience had a huge crossover with a FIFA/Football audience and it meant that we were in the strongest position to be able to amplify the promotion of content directly onto the screens of Big Shaq fans.
We enlisted the help of Universal Music’s in-house programmatic data specialists; Fused, who promoted the content via Michael Dapaah’s Facebook (via a cross-promoted post), Instagram Page (via Instagram story ads) and YouTube channel (via a pre-roll video ad).
The Results:
The content speaks for itself….it generated over 5 Million views in the first 24 hours as well as picking up key press coverage across the UK’s biggest press outlets, The total content views currently stand at 20 Million and the online press coverage alone reached a whopping 25 Million people.
The Social resonance of the campaign was HUGE. Being able to deliver the content to a relevant football & music loving audience of almost 190 million people (that’s over 100 times the audience that Michael has across his own channels) meant that the campaign became an integral part of Island’s campaign to take Shaq global.
The success of the campaign has seen the birth of a format that sees the great and good of the football & music worlds collide.
Big Shaq’s biggest fan Noel Gallagher meets future World Cup winner John Stones.
Tottenham born but Arsenal loving lyricist Wretch 32 takes on Spurs wonderkid Dele Alli.
And Festival Headliners Biffy Clyro set up a Scotland versus England grudge match against Peter ‘the mosher’ Crouch and his Stoke team-mates.
In 2018, FIFA’s partnership with Universal will see them further cement themselves as their own editorial brand. How many other brands can say that?
Testimonial:
“The collaboration between EA and Universal has been best-in-class from our point of view – a partnership that combines two of the most popular UK interests, FIFA and music. The Big Shaq vs. Danny Welbeck initiative has proved to be some of the best content we’ve ever produced, escalating our influence beyond gaming, and even beyond football, into entertainment and popular culture – it’s been a truly innovative activation and we’re excited about what’s still to come!” (James Taylor, Senior Marketing & Communications Manager, Electronic Arts)
O2 were looking to deliver a PR first around the hotly anticipated launch of the iPhone X on the 3rd November 2018, showcasing the high quality capabilities and versatility of the phone, whilst reiterating O2’s position in music.

The video was shot in the style of a ‘fly-on-the-wall’ documentary, following Emeli on day of her new EP launch, Kingdom Coming, intercut with lip sync moments to Emeli’s track ‘Starlight’ to give a nod to a music-video style treatment.

Coca-Cola wanted to amplify their presence among the Student demographic in the South of England. Their idea was to start a campaign that celebrated the small moments of victory in life, such as getting up early to go the gym, or running that extra mile when you felt that you couldn't. They named it This One's For.
To kick off the initiative, we enlisted the help of DJ and producer Jax Jones and emerging hottest urban vocalist Raye to help Coca-Cola reach their target audience. Southampton University teased their students with a secret lecture featuring a surprise guest lecture Professor J. Jones.
On October 10th, students were delighted to find Jax Jones at the decks with guest vocalist Raye who performed a surprise gig to everyone who attended the lecture. We filmed the show and amplified this on socials with the campaign mission statement 'This One's For....attending that early morning lecture.'
Following on from this, Coca-Cola launched their online hub This One's for Music to celebrate those music moments in every day life.
We launched a competition where fans of Jax Jones could win tickets through a ballot to see him perform live.
The campaign culminated in a special show from Jax Jones and Raye plus other guest vocalists at Koko in Camden, London and we created several pieces of branded content around the gig that were amplified through Coca-Cola's and Jax Jones' social channels. The gig was attended by over a thousand people, including a select group of celebrity influencers and guests.
To celebrate Nasty Gals’ first ever pop-up shop in the UK, hot emerging solo artist Raye performed an acoustic set to an invited VIP audience.

Ellie Goulding launched her first ever shoe collection with Europe’s biggest shoe retailer, DEICHMANN shoes. The campaign officially launched on February 28th with a VIP event at MC Motors in Stoke Newington, in front of press, celebrities and models, with an acoustic set from Ellie, a live runway curated by Marvin A Smith and a showcase of the official collection images shot by Louie Banks.
Deichmann’s underlining objective was to reach a new European audience with an exciting Spring Summer shoe collection which resonated amongst Ellie’s fans, felt authentic to the singer and allowed Deichmann to have a wider conversation with the consumers outside of a traditional sales campaign.
Globe and Universal Germany worked together to negotiate and manage the relationship between Ellie Goulding and Deichmann: from developing the initial shoe collection, bringing in Ellie’s favourite collaborators to deliver the ATL campaign assets, and working collaboratively with Deichmann’s PR and social agencies to deliver a successful European launch for Ellie and Deichmann alike.
The TVC, shot by Emil Nava forms part of Deichmann’s Spring Summer ATL campaign which has now launched across over 20 markets and runs across TV, cinema, print, radio, outdoor, digital and POS in over 12 different languages, and the PR launch delivered a reach of over 338 million impressions across TV, print and online.
The campaign was renewed for AW17 with a brand new collection and a shiny new advert to promote the new range.
"For me, shoes are an indication of what mood you are in. Launching a collection of my own gives me the opportunity to express my style. My collection includes shoes for any occasion – I really can’t decide if I like wearing heels or flats better – I am constantly changing it up ", says Ellie Goulding

EARTH HOUR – LUDOVICO EINAUDI
Over the last decade, WWF’s Earth Hour’s unique display of darkness has become a global phenomenon uniting hundreds of millions of individuals across the world. In 2015, over 10 million individuals in the UK joined forces with a record-breaking 172 countries and territories to create a symbolic moment and put the spotlight on issues affecting our planet.
This year, Ludovico Einaudi got involved and supported the campaign by performing his song ‘Fly’ without artificial lights but candles to light the stage. The performance was captured and integrated into a piece of content to show the span of Earth Hour. The film was produced by Globe Productions and released today (31/03) via Ludovico Einaudi’s Youtube channel.
The performance was mentioned in a great review in the Nottingham post –

WWF also organised an event in London with their key stakeholders, supporters and media partners, it took place at the Marriot across Big Ben where guests witnessed the landmark shutting down at 8.30pm. Raye (Polydor) performed acoustically and was amazing, a stunning voice. On this occasion Raye met with a few media outlets and conducted some interviews.
To celebrate the launch of their new ZIPP 360° speaker, Libratone has collaborated with British drum and bass duo, Sigma on a brand new track and the world’s first music video shot entirely by fans.
The creative agency (Antidote) and Thirty Two Music (www.thirtytwo.tv) who were music supervisors on the project helped negotiate the brand partnership with Globe on the agency's behalf.
The new track, ‘Nightingale’ is inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of the same name and brings to life the immersive sound experience of Libratone’s ZIPP speaker. Sigma, best known for their collaborations with artists like Paloma Faith and Rita Ora, took a break from tradition and decided to let their fans take centre stage and star in the video for their latest hit.
To spread the word about this opportunity to be featured in the new interactive video, Sigma tweeted to their fans, asking for real-life stories about all of the crazy and beautiful things that happen to them while listening to music.
Within hours of posting the tweet, the campaign received hundreds of requests to take part. From skinny-dipping in a frozen lake in Sweden to covering a house in tinfoil, the creative and off-the-wall ideas continued to pour in. The end result was a true 360° interactive music video starring fans, shot from the point of view of the ZIPP speaker.
“We wanted to create a track that really reflected the 360 degree experience you get from the ZIPP speaker so we had to bring in lots of different organic sounds to do this,” said Sigma band member, Cam Edwards. “Obviously there’s the breaks and beats we’re known for but the hook is a piano melody that feels more ‘housey’ than our usual stuff. When layered with the soulful vocal on top, it all came together and we think the result is something people will like.”
Joe Lenzie, the other half of the Sigma duo added, “After a banging 2015, we really hope our fans will be excited to hear this new track. It’s a bit of a departure from our usual style but still has loads of bass. Our next big challenge is to bring drum and bass to music lovers across the world. Our style is relaxed and upbeat and we can’t wait for our fans to hear Nightingale.”
Sigma will continue to support the campaign on social media.
The aim of the campaign was designed to drive as much traffic as possible to Libratone’s site to view the 360° video and where people can buy the ZIPP speaker at the centre of it all.
The ZIPP speaker is a revolution in speaker technology. Its 360° capability and wireless and Bluetooth connectivity allows high quality sound to truly take center stage in any room of the home. The speakers are portable and can be customized using a variety of different-colored, mesh fabric covers.
Simon Peschcke-Køedt, Global Marketing Director for Libratone says “Sigma were the obvious partner to help launch the ZIPP speaker. In creating a world-first 360 degree music video for Nightingale, we feel that it perfectly sums up the ZIPP’s ability to liberate music; projecting sounds into every corner of a room and putting Libratone at the heart of the home.”
The track was released alongisde the digital marketing campaign, and received over half a million streams in 2 weeks, purely from the Libratone campaign support!

WWF partners with Universal Music UK to launch innovative new Christmas campaign featuring Will Young
On Friday 20 November, WWF launched their ambitious new Christmas campaign #WorldNeedsLove with the help of singer Will Young and Globe, Universal Music UK’s Creative & Commercial Partnerships division.
This Christmas, WWF released a breath-taking TV ad as they unveiled Will Young’s unique version of the classic hit by Burt Bacharach ‘What the World Needs Now Is Love’.
With staggering figures revealing that global wildlife populations have declined by over 50% since 1970, #WorldNeedsLove hopes to inspire the nation to show the planet some love this Christmas and raise vital funds to support WWF’s work to protect the natural world.
Globe came up with the creative, produced the ad and asked Will Young to rework a new version of ‘What the World Needs Now Is Love’ to sit at the heart of the campaign.
The campaign launced with a world premiere of the ad, in which Will also features, during a special three minute takeover of the ad break for Alan Carr’s Chatty Man show on Friday 20th November on Channel 4 - a global first for the conservation organisation.
During the ad break takeover, the WWF website received more traffic to the site than ever before and took a donation to the cause every 5 seconds.
Katrina Elliott WWF-UK Head of Fundraising said: “WWF is delighted to be working alongside Globe to produce this new ground breaking campaign, featuring Will Young. By using music we hope to reach new audiences and engage them in conservation issues and the work of WWF. The expertise, support and passion of everyone at Globe has been central to the success of this campaign, we look forward to seeing the results and working on more projects together.”
Nina Mistry-Stevens, Senior Account Director at Globe, says, “We’re thrilled to be able to support such a worthwhile organisation and help take their Christmas campaign to the next level. Will’s beautiful version of What the World Needs Now Is Love’ is moving in itself, but combined with the video it’s a real wake-up call. Working with a conservation organisation has been a new experience for us at Globe we really hope the music and images will make people think and most importantly get behind WWF’s #WorldNeedsLove campaign.”
In addition to the DRTV campaign, #WorldNeedsLove will be supported on social media with an exciting user generated content competition.

Globe and Cake Group partnered to produce the UK's first fully shoppable music video for Very.co.uk to showcase their 2015 summer retail collection. The iconic summer classic ‘Summertime’, originally brought to fame by DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince back in 1991, was revamped by Island Records duo, Rizzle Kicks – bringing the track bang up to date for 2015 and paying homage to the original video in the new high-energy online music video of their own. The video starred Rizzle Kicks and DJ Jazzy Jeff himself, and every item in the music video was available to buy - from the limited edition 90’s inspired t-shirt worn by Jordan to the kid’s bikes and BBQs.
Available exclusively to download, the track to the video was also available to the first 10,000 music fans who visit the Very site.
The campaign won 'Best Retail partnership' at the Brand Republic digital awards 2016.

“Throw the rule book out, music has no boundaries” - Lethal Bizzle
Bulmers has a philosophy: ‘Live Colourful’. It’s based on a belief that embracing new and diverse experiences, leads to a more exciting and interesting life. To encourage the Bulmers audience to try something different and embrace this philosophy, Bulmers partnered with Globe to help create and deliver a compelling and memorable campaign with music at its core.
Globe’s campaign plunged Bulmers headfirst into a vibrant musical world, by placing artists from different corners of the musical plain into a giant melting pot of grime, classical and soul music, to create an incredible and compelling track – which, would eventually be downloaded 20,000 times by the Bulmers community in less than a week via its official website.
The protagonists of this unlikely, but ground-breaking combination? Grime royalty Lethal Bizzle, rising star Sinead Harnett and the world famous film and theatre composer David Arnold, with his legendary orchestra.
This unique sonic adventure was exclusively chronicled as a short film by Globe’s in-house production team and was premiered alongside the track live at a central London location. The track was then made available as a limited edition download via the official Bulmers website.
2015 marks the 60th anniversary of Original Penguin. After six amazing decades in music and fashion, Original Penguin teamed up with Globe to celebrate the cream of the UK’s talent for an extra special #PluggedIn60 series. Each artist talks about why their decade is important to them and how it influences their music and style.
Slaves - 1950's
The series kicked off with Slaves who took the time to sit down and discuss their love of the 1950’s (when Original Penguin was born) before taking Manchester by surprise for an extra special, guerrilla gig in the city centre where they reinvented their definitive sound for their first ever acoustic performance. Naturally it ended in debauchery and crowdsurfing aplenty. The raucous performance of the their single ‘Sockets’ proved that they were the perfect embodiment of the #PluggedIn60 spirit.

Flyte - 1960's
For the next instalment of our #PluggedIn60 series, Flyte chat about how the gamechanging decade of the 1960's has inspired them.
Flyte talk about the Beatles, Arcade Fire, Paul Simon and more.

Jack Garratt - 1970's
Third in the series features Jack Garratt. Taking crowds by storm around the UK, Europe and United States, Garratt is arguably one of the best live artists in the world right now, reinventing the use of live sampling and multi-instrumentation to craft a seamless, overwhelming live experience. Unafraid to push the boundaries, his string of singles thus far encapsulate that same originality, ranging sonically from stripped back anthemic ballads to unrelenting electronic intensity.
It is perhaps unsurprising then that Garratt has chosen to discuss the influence the 1970’s has had on his sound for the latest instalment of our #PluggedIn60 series.
