BDS have been appointed by Marks Barfield, the EDF Energy London Eye’s architects, as exclusive sponsorship consultants for the i360.

18/07/2012

The EDF Energy London Eye is one of the top 3 paid for leisure attractions in the world and has attracted over 40,000,0000 visitors since opening 11 years ago. Dominating London’s skyline it has captured the public’s imagination and it is now the world’s icon for contemporary London.

As the next project from the team that created and delivered the EDF Energy London Eye this new leisure experience will:

  • Be another iconic and ground-breaking experience that will become one of the world’s most recognised paid-for visitor attractions;
  • Be the worlds tallest ascending observation platform and at 175 metres high it will be even taller than the EDF Energy London Eye;
  • Unlike the EDF London Eye capsule, which holds 25 people, the i360 will host up to 200 people in the capsule at one time. Uniquely it also has a bar and this, combined with the surrounding event spaces (which can hold a further 500 people), provides the most stylish, sensational and aspirational venue and bar in the world; a truly unique space for hospitality, events, performances, parties through to conferences, meetings etc.
  • Be commercially viable for a large number of cities across the globe (thus enabling UK and Global expansion)
  • Conservatively attract 800,000 annual paying visitors and be passed by more than 22,000,000 people every year

Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust (FCI) sponsorship platform

13/06/2012

Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust (FCI) wanted a sponsorship platform that would allow them to engage directly and more personally with their clients and potential across the UK.

Key requirements laid out to BSD were that any activity should be clearly branded as an FCIT initiative, it should not be London-centric and must provide high-quality corporate hospitality opportunities.

BDS worked with FCIT to identify the key geographic regions and also profiled the client base to determine what activities would most resonate with them.

BDS drew up a shortlist of appropriate sponsorship properties that existed or could be created which was narrowed down by FCIT. Detailed proposals were prepared by BDS for the shortlist and FCIT then chose classical music as providing the best possible match.

BDS was commissioned to create an entirely original sponsorship property with classical music at its heart. As a result, BDS designed “Future Classics”; which provided FCIT with 5 wholly-owned concerts of classical music performed by outstanding young artists and sited in the 5 most appropriate locations. The sponsorship partner selected by BDS for Future Classics and FCIT was the Park Lane Group (PLG), a charity established for over 50 years that is dedicated to providing a platform for outstanding classical musicians on the brink of their professional careers.

The heart of the programme was concerts in Bristol, Harrogate, Edinburgh, Surrey and in Wigmore Hall in London. Private and exclusive corporate hospitality with the artists was held after each concert for FCIT’s guests. A dedicated microsite was set up for the programme of activity and a CD was commissioned.

The programme provided name recognition and ownership in the cities most relevant to FCIT at a level that would not have been possible with pre-existing properties. It also had the added benefit of being socially responsible; enabling PLG to widen its own exposure outside London, creating new regional platforms for the artists in Future Classics, and funding PLG’s core work with other artists.
