This Valentine’s, Activate delivered feel good moments across our schemes. ❤️
From heart mascots roaming @onestopperrybarr and @regentcourt with roses, chocolates and photo opportunities, to a beautifully styled rose cart at @islingtonsq, each destination brought its own take on the day.
At @stchristophersplace, single red roses were gifted to those joining the Neighbourhood Card, while @templarssquare1 welcomed shoppers and their furry friends for My Fur Ever Love, complete with paw-some portraits.
Thoughtful activations, tailored to each community, and genuinely well received.

Creating meaningful moments that bring workplace communities together. 🌹
To celebrate Valentine’s Day at @moretownldn_, we introduced a pop up flower cart, surprising occupiers with mini bouquets during lunchtime. It was fantastic to see so many people step away from their desks, connect with colleagues, and enjoy a simple moment.
Take a look at some of the highlights from the day.
