In August 2022, we teamed up with our sister company, to deliver a stunning range of graphics for the Pokémon World Store at this year’s World Championships in London’s ExCel. Working closely with our new clients, Inception Worldwide and Pokémon, we provided a large-scale full-service package together with other contractors to build the World Store at what is believed to have been the largest ever Pokémon event!
With tens of thousands of visitors attending the tournament, having the right in-store experience for the merchandising displays was essential. Our team delivered the design, print and framework production as well as the installation and derigging at the ICC Capital Hall at ExCel, to ensure the store was a success.
Matt Tomkins, one of our Project Managers, and Sales Director Matt Guise together with Jenny Smith, Head of Strategy and Projects, collaborated to produce this huge project, with sub-contractors, from start to finish.
Mark Hutchinson, Director of Inception Worldwide, was delighted with the smooth running of the whole process; “When managing a large event activation with the detailed approach we demand as an agency that also has many moving parts it is important to work with suppliers who work through complexities and ultimately truly care about the success of the event – and we found that with Matt, Jenny and the wider team and thank them for all their hard work!”
Jenny added; “This project is a fantastic example of what we can achieve through collaborating on these large-scale projects. As a Group we are so much more than just a framing and graphics supplier and our success in delivering this project for Inception and Pokémon will hopefully lead to many more live event installations.”
