START TO FINISH EVENT SOLUTIONS

We are a full solution, creative event production agency with over 20 years of experience creating and running events.

We help bring brands to life with ideas and activations designed to be targeted and delivered to the correct audience in a relevant way. The marketing landscape has changed and modern brands need to be responsive and fast-moving. Traditional media is increasingly becoming a less authentic method of reaching an audience. Brands need to find a way to have a conversation with their customers, discovering what they want, rather than telling them what they think they need.

This is where we come in.

We live in a world of empowered consumers who have an unrivalled ability to edit and avoid advertising. Brands need to cut through and form an immediate bond with consumers; we can help facilitate this in various ways.

If you’re unsure what would be most effective for your brand, here are a few options and examples of what we can help you with.

"The best experience we have had at a show this year. Right from the first call discussing our ideas all the way through the event and the follow up- we have felt like (Player1 Events) really care about the experiences both our players and their attendees were going to have”

"Partnering with, and showcasing our games at, Insomnia #69 was a no-brainer for us! Having a strong community of 30,000+ players that we could share our demo with was a great opportunity for extra exposure and valuable player feedback. We'll definitely be looking to support and attend again in the future!"

For Jagex, their community is key. It was this feeling that led them to create an event devoted to thanking the fans and the game they love. RuneFest is a fully immersive event, real world celebration of RuneScape, turning plain convention halls into landscapes pulled directly from the game. The show is filled with content, from The Night Before party; to an activity based treasure trail; and all important Developer and Community talks on the Main Stage.  Alongside this, key community influencers run tournaments and interactive crowd segments.

Activision Blizzard needed a partner to run an internal conference for their EMEA team as their business opened up post-COVID. Alongside keynotes, breakout sessions and business updates the team also wanted all 150 delegates to get hands-on with their 5 key titles simultaneously. We created themed areas, running these core games across mobile, PC and console within a giant marquee. The day was followed up with a post-event drinks and networking session where we provided themed cocktails and catering for the team.

When Yu-Gi-Oh! wanted to get back into events by attending the London MCM they chose us to assist with their stand build. Working with their team we advised on the design and layout of the space, creating a booth that would run their digital titles alongside classic TCG play. We then delivered the stand on-site, providing support across the weekend.

A “show within a show”, the Ubisoft Experience was a 2-day event held at i65 with the aim of rewarding the highly engaged Ubisoft audience in the UK. The Insomnia team worked closely with Ubisoft to deliver this first of its kind event.

Featuring a mix of experiential and hands on content, the The Ubisoft Experience was a varied and diverse event celebrating the wide range of Ubisoft titles, from Street Racer to Watch Dogs: Legion.

Content included; a Roller Champions Roller Disco, Assassin’s Creed freerunning, Just Dance Stage, Splinter Cell themed escape room and retro set ups, all running alongside Rainbow Six Siege esport show matches and Developer panel talks from voice actors and game designers. The show gave Ubisoft a chance to present their titles in a new, exciting way with all proceeds from ticket sales donated to Insomnia’s charity partner Special Effect.
