1. Netflix’s The Beautiful Game
On Monday, our team hit the red carpet to celebrate the premiere of Netflix’s The Beautiful Game, a film inspired by our client, the Homeless World Cup. We were thrilled to work on the promotion for this exceptional project and had a blast interviewing the stars of the film on the red carpet, including Bill Nighy, Callum Scott Howells, the writer Frank Cottrell-Boyce and director Thea Sharrock. As part of the promotion, we created a film to explain to new audiences the background of the tournament and collaborated on Instagram with Hero Fiennes Tiffin (7.4m followers), Kit Young (494k followers), Callum Scott Howells (129K followers) and Sheyi Cole (6.2k followers). The film has had over 1.6 million views since it was shared just 4 days ago. We also helped secure coverage across the BBC, Daily Mirror, BBC Radio 5, Sky News, Reuters and much much more. Make sure to watch the film on Netflix from tomorrow.

5. Why was six afraid of seven?
…Because seven, eight, nine! Dealing with numbers can be daunting for a lot of people – from budgeting the weekly shop, to helping kids with homework, or taking a step up at work, there are many reasons people might want to improve their maths. This week we helped Coleg Sir Gâr put two and two together by sharing details with regional media of their open day events taking place across Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion in April as part of the Multiply programme. Designed to boost maths skills and numeracy confidence in adults, Multiply’s free support is available for adults aged 19+ who don’t have a GCSE grade c/4 or higher. To sum it up, we secured targeted coverage in South Wales Guardian, Cambrian News, Ceredigion Herald, Llanelli Standard and more.
