Time Out, the global media and hospitality business that helps people explore and experience the best of the city, has partnered with the lastminute.com London Eye to show the people of London that there is no better time to visit the London Eye with its unique and fresh perspective on the city. The Time Out Creative Solutions team, alongside Wavemaker, have created a unique campaign that will see the London Eye turned into a work of art for one day only, with London-based artist Penfold creating a bespoke art installation at the Observation Point on the South Bank on Tuesday 26th April. The design will also take over the cover wrap of this week’s issue of Time Out London, which will be distributed across the city and at the mural site on the day and for the rest of the week by distributors wearing branded t-shirts which will include the mural design. Time Out London will also be distributed at Gatwick and Heathrow airports, and the Stansted Express, to reach an international audience. To complement the live activation, the 360-degree Creative Solutions campaign also spans branded content, digital advertising, social media and CRM across Time Out London channels. Time Out has created a bespoke London Eye online hub complete with a quiz that helps users to figure out how an experience on the London Eye best suits their personality, and a digital and print content series called “An Eye For…” which hinges on the elements of wellness, history, culture and art you can see from the London Eye. Instagram stories and posts will link to the hub, and showcase the art installation.
