Brief

We were asked to provide Santa Claus and two elves for photocalls in Manchester and London to launch the Christmas season at Cath Kidston .

Working alongside Frank PR, we were also to arrange for Santa and his jolly helpers to roam stores all over the UK, taking and posing for selfies and interacting with customers.

What we did

Wearing a bespoke suit made from Cath Kidston fabric bearing their iconic Bramley Sprig print, Santa and his Elves created some fantastic, feel-good photo opportunites.

Spreading Christmas cheer across the land they brought an element of magic and delight to the public; whilst producing a positive Cath Kidston experience.

Highlights

  • Santa and his elves shared Christmas joy throughout the country
  • Images shared across social media channels using the hashtags #CKSantaSelfie & #CKElfieSelfie
  • A video of the tour was created for Cath Kidston’s YouTube channel
