Territories: Global
🏆 Voted ‘Best Branded FOOH’ by FOOHbase
For the first time ever, the European Athletics Championships are coming to the UK, and we helped celebrate the ‘One Month to Go’ milestone with this pan-European drone show, marking one month until the competition gets underway in Birmingham.
The Birmingham 2026 team wanted to mark the occasion in style. Our brief was to highlight the brilliant Alexander Stadium (the venue for the championships) while also demonstrating the scale of a competition that brings together Europe’s very best athletes by travelling through key cities, including Paris, Rome, Athens and even a cheeky little trip up the Matterhorn!
Pre-production, production and post-production were all completed in-house, and we’re now very well acquainted with the streets and skies of Birmingham, we can tell you! Massive thanks to Elizabeth Birchall and Stuart Fenton for all their support in making the project happen.
