Hey Duggee, The BBC, Live Nation and Event Merchandise

2023: bring on the Live Touring Event Merchandise.
Hey Duggee The Live Theatre Show is HUGE and features Duggee, the Squirrels and many more of the favourite characters!

Betty wants to make costumes, Happy wants to sing, Tag wants to make music, Norrie wants to dance, Roly wants jelly and they all want you to join them at the Clubhouse.

Join Duggee and the Squirrels in this new vibrant interactive production bursting with music, puppets and barrels of laughs along the way, with a supporting range of colourful merchandising.

Paul and the live team have been working frenetically with teams at the BBC and Live Nation to deliver an eclectic range of Hey Dugee gifts.

It’s time for a Duggee hug!

Review from Whats on stage below:

“When stage adaptations of children’s TV favourites are ten-a-penny, it takes something special to stand out from the crowd. Hey Duggee Live delivers, not least because it feels like it has come from a place of genuine love for the original. It’s a fitting homage to the magnificence of its source material – a big, heartfelt Duggee hug. Me and my three year-old both had a ball, and the look on his face when I stuck on his theatre badge afterwards was the cherry on the cake.”

007 X Bollinger

Champagne Bollinger present a very special 007 60th Anniversary Jeroboam Set in a 25-piece numbered edition, presented in a limited edition Dr. No dot Globe-Trotter case. Just 25 Jeroboams have been released – one to mark each of the 25 Bond films that span its 60-year history.

Event Merchandising gets its Premises License in order to distribute Alcohol.

Backstory. Designed by Maurice Binder, the Dr. No title sequence is a modernist vision: his titles create the visual elements that became icons of popular culture. The coloured dots change colour, position and form patterns at the same high tempo as the score and are just one element of a hugely influential sequence.

Details. A collector’s edition – just 25 pieces have been issued globally, each numbered 001 to 025. The Millésimé 2007 champagne is housed in a jeroboam bottle etched with the iconic Dr. No dots.

This prestige Cuvée is issued from a single year which is considered as exceptional and the 2007 vintage has a bold and vibrant character. The wine has been vinified in wooden barrels, before being aged in the Champagne Bollinger cellars for 14 years. The resulting is an appealing contrast between intense, spicy aromas and notes of fruit, brioche and honey.

The bottle is presented in a bespoke Globe-Trotter 26” 2-wheel trolley case, handmade by the British luggage makers’ in their signature patented vulcanised fibreboard and leather. Lined in a bright red, the case has a special edition Bollinger and 007 plaque inside and out. The jeroboam is secured in the case with a precise cut-out to protect the bottle in transit.

The makers. Bollinger has been creating prestigious champagnes since 1829. These outstanding wines are the result of rigorous attention to detail, for Bollinger accepts nothing less than excellence. Each and every detail represents a quest for a certain form of perfection. The House has held a Royal Warrant since 1884.

Celebrations all round at Event Merchandising!

.  

 

Last Wednesday, Event Merchandising celebrated its 40th anniversary and MD Jeremy Goldsmith’s 50th!

It’s been an incredible four decades and Event is proud to have hosted some incredible moments in history. From the music events to expanding and branching out into the world of global omnichannel retail success, current clients include UEFA and James Bond 007.

Amidst the business (and busy-ness) of client meetings, summer festivals and other live events, the office managed to get out into the sunshine for a couple of hours. All enjoyed pizza, Champagne and tiramisu at a nearby London pizzeria.

The whole team enjoyed the scorching 26-degree weather, including our “Bond Girl” Dannielle from the 007 office!

 

After many slices of wood-fired pizza, speeches were made by Paul, Jeremy and founder, Martin Goldsmith. Jeremy retold how he left his 13th birthday party and Bar Mitzvah to attend the iconic Live Aid as made possible by none other than Event Merchandising back in 1985.

Having reminisced, pored over a photo album of Jeremy (pre-EML career) and caught some rays outside with dessert, everyone headed back to work (and another slice of cake) feeling refreshed, relaxed and ready to drive Event into an exciting new era!

 

Jeremy Goldsmith and Event Merchandising – a very happy birthday to you both.

Ed Gamble Online Store Album Promotion

The Limited edition Blood Spray edition Vinyl.

A super creative execution, thank you Joe and the Event team.

Recorded at the legendary Black Heart in 2019, “You May Struggle To Hear Me Above The Crunch Of My Enemies Skulls” is a vinyl exclusive stand-up comedy show from the mind and mouth of Ed Gamble. Totally improvised across two sweaty nights in Camden, it captures live comedy in its purest form. Mainly, though, it’s being released so Ed can pretend he is in a heavy metal band. Ed’s body on the cover art is not accurate at time of writing.
