Happy International Women’s Day 💕
Over the weekend, to celebrate IWD, our account manager Claudia Lambert spoke with the @stchristophersplace community – from shoppers and visitors to customers – asking what this day means to them. The responses were thoughtful, inspiring and a reflection of the incredible women in our community.
A great example of how we help our clients bring moments like this to life through on the ground activations and content.
Here’s to the women we admire, support and celebrate every day.

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.
