Events Purpose
The purpose of the event we are putting on is a launch night for the new E4 commissioned
show Screen Squeeze. The event will be the first viewing of the show, the night before it airs
on TV, and this will be an opportunity for press, staff, bloggers, competition winners and
celebrities to see the first episode before anyone else.
The launch night will be light-hearted, fun and entertaining, and we have chosen an
appropriate venue (The Natural History Museum) and host (Troy the magician) to help
achieve this. It will be an opportunity for E4 and Screen Squeeze to gain press attention and
coverage which will help achieve the aim of gaining viewers the following night. The TV show
is aimed at 18-34 year olds, and we have followed this demographic for our event by
providing entertainment and a structure that we believe will appeal to them. For example,
free drink on the door, entertainment by Troy, a photo board, canaps throughout as well as
a bar and dance area after the episode viewing.

Audience Research
The TV show Screen Squeeze, that we are producing a launch event for, is an E4
commissioned show aimed at 18-34 year olds. The event is going to be showing the first
episode of the new show, and there will be around 300 people attending. The demographic
of audience members is young adults; therefore the event theme will be based on this, for
example keeping the light-hearted, fun and energetic concept of Screen Squeeze. This will
be evident in the design, the content and the promotion for the launch. We will be inviting
celebrities to attract more media attention to the event and therefore to the programme.
The event is invitation only.

The Host

Troy
At Luna Events, we know the importance of having
something, or someone, to lead your guests through the
night in order to make them feel the way you want them
to feel, and behave the way you intended them to.
Troy Von Schneibner is a young street magician with his
own television show, Troy, on E4. He is an incredible
magician and has a very charismatic personality, which is
why we believe he will be the perfect host for the Screen
Squeeze Launch Party. He performs magic anywhere and
on spot, leaving people amazed and in awe.
Troy will be hosting the launch party and acting as a
presenter on stage, leading guests through the programme of the evening. During the event,
he will be going around the main room in the venue performing his magic and acting as
entertainment. For videos and more information about Troy, please visit
www.channel4.com/programmes/troy.

Marketing & Promotion Strategy
Market
Our market or target audience is quite broad as we aim to target members of the media and
press, E4 executives, celebrities and a small number of the public.
Marketing Objectives
To promote the television programme Screen Squeeze through a first episode launch.
To gain media coverage of the show Screen Squeeze through a launch.
Promotion of the show through media outlets ad producers to the shows audience.
Marketing Mix: Pre- Event
Pr: We can use PR strategies to gain promotion for the event through features, stories and
articles. We can do this by letting newspapers, magazines and bloggers interview the
presenters and reports on the show. This will encourage promotion for the event as it will
inform people of what is going on and about the competition they can enter to gain access to
the exclusive event. We can also get try to get a feature in one of the magazines and invite
them to attend the event, this will give further promotion to the television show after the
event has happened.
Invitations: We will be sending out select invitations to E4 executives, the press/media and
celebrities to attend the event. These invitations will allow us to select specific media who
will come to the event who aim is to attend the event and then go on to promote it through
media coverage of the television show. Through inviting celebrities the event will seem more
glamorous and promote the show further. The invitations are designed like television que
cards to keep the theme of a television show and to make them more unique.
Invitation Design:


18

Marketing & Promotion Strategy Continued
Online and Social Media: Online and social media will be a big part of our marketing and
promotion scheme as it will keep guests and the public updated on what is going on. Guests
can also interact with the event before it even happens and this again gains promotion for
the television show as if they are celebrities they have a large fan base. It also links to the
theme of internet content on the show and will be key when the event is taking part as we
can update what is going on as the event progresses.
Endorsements: We can promote the event through endorsement as the programme itself will
be sponsored by Absolute Vodka and at the event we will be giving out goody bags for all
attendees. Absolute can then contribute to the event by giving supplies for the goody bags
and as well as refreshments at the bar. We will also include them in the advertisement on our
backdrop where celebrities and guests will have their photos taken. This will again create
more promotion for the event as Absolute are a large drinks company.

Competition: We are planning on creating a small competition for at least 20 members of the
public, and their plus ones, to win tickets to the event. This again gives more promotion to
the television show and we can gain audience feedback of the show after they have seen it.
We will be creating a competition that will be advertised on the shows website and online,
those who enter the competition will have to create and upload a funny vine video and the
top 20 funniest videos will be chosen as our winners and attendees. This links in to the
internet theme and content of the programme.

19

Marketing & Promotion Strategy Continued
Photo board: Before the event we will be setting up a photo board within the venue to
promote the competition element of the event. We will place a photo board of the latest
Oscar photo with certain celebritys heads cut out; this will encourage people to take a photo
within the board that they can then upload to the website. This will encourage people to
enter the competition as they will gain access to information about the show.









Marketing at the Event
Social Media: While the event is taking place we will use social media accounts to update
what is going on in the event so that the television shows audience can be involved even
though theyre not. We can also use social media to promote the show and event through
celebrities/guest who will post theyre opinions of the night on their accounts. We have come
up with a promotion photo frame, we will use a cut out of the television shows logo and get
guests to put their faces within it. These photos can then be uploaded and shared on social
media websites.





20

Marketing & Promotion Strategy Continued
Photo board: We will also have a fun photo board of the latest Oscar selfie that will allow
guests to put their faces in, like the logo, to get a souvenir photo from the event. This quirky
idea is fun for the guests but also allows us to promote the events and guests attending on
social media sites.







Photo corner: At the event we will have a photo corner where people can take photos
together. A photographer will be placed here, and funny props (wigs, fake noses, glasses,
hats etc) will be available for the guests to put on to make it humorous.

Photography/Video feed: As we have said above we will be constantly updating social media
accounts with photography of the night. We can use video equipment to upload a short live
video feed of the event that will help to promote it to the television audience. We can also
use this video equipment to interview event guests and get feedback from them on the
television show and what they have enjoyed. This footage can all be edited after the event
and create a promotional and recap video.
Managing/Monitoring progress
We can manage and monitor the events progress through social media and the responses to
the event. We can also manage t through guest attendance at the event as we will be sending
out select invitations to guests. Competition entries will also help us to monitor the event as
we will be able to see how many members of the public have applied to win tickets. After the
event has finished we can also monitor how much media coverage of the television show is
published as the main aim for the event is to gain promotion from the press to promote the
show to the public.

Event Details
Catering
The catering company By Word of Mouth will be catering our event. Considering the type of
event we are hosting, we suggest it would be most appropriate to serve finger-food and
drinks, in place of having a formal dinner. This way guests will have the chance to mingle
around the venue, and it suggests a casual and fun launch party, which goes with the target
audience and the television show that is being launched.
Canaps will be served in the main room, and the guests will receive one free alcoholic/non-
alcoholic drink on the door, as well as one free drink at their table. More drinks can be
purchased by the bar. Waiters and waitresses will be supplied by the catering company.
By Word of Mouths canaps are designed to be highly visual and packed with perfectly
combined, seasonal flavours. (www.bywordofmouth.co.uk/food/canapes).

Fine wine lists, elegant cocktails and our own range of delicious soft drinks have been put
together with the same care and attention as our menus to ensure they are food-matched,
party friendly and offer real versatility. (www.bywordofmouth.co.uk/food/drinks).
As a part of the show screening during the event, we will also have candyfloss, popcorn, pick-
n-mix and hotdog stands as fun extras. These will be catered by A Taste of Profit
(www.atasteofprofit.com).

handled by Wise Productions (www.wiseproductions.co.uk).

Evaluation
Event Evaluation/Method of Feedback
To get feedback from attendees about the success of the event, we are having a camera crew
film it and interview guests during the night. This will then enable us to get an idea about
how well the event has gone and if they have enjoyed the night. This will also be helpful for
E4 and the Screen Squeeze team because attendees will be able to give their opinion on the
TV show.
We will also monitor the attendance by having security keep count of who has come and who
hasnt. They will have a guest list of names and can tick them off when they arrive.

Cross-media
Promotional/Press Pack
As a group, we have produced a promotional press pack for our cross-media piece. The

Event Review: Launch night for E4s Screen Squeeze
On Friday 4
th
April 2014, E4 held a launch night for their newly commissioned
show Screen Squeeze at The Natural History Museum in London. The event
was organised by the respected events company, Luna Events.
The night featured the first viewing
of the first episode of Screen Squeeze, which then aired
on TV the following night (Saturday 5
th
April at 9pm). It was
a great opportunity for press, bloggers and E4 staff to get a
feel for the show and how it was going to be received by
the audience. The show is targeted at 18-34 year olds, and
it was evident that the event had the same aim for its age
demographic. The launch was kept light-hearted and fun
by the decorative theme, and through the nights
entertainment.
Troy, the well-known magician who regularly appears on E4, was the host for the night and he did a
fantastic job getting everyone involved. This resulted in a lively atmosphere within the Central Hall.
There were free drinks provided on entrance, and canaps throughout the night, which pleased
attendees. The famous Oscar 2014 selfie was featured on a photo board, allowing people to stand
behind and place their heads on the famous faces, much to guests amusement. The bar and dance
area was also a great way for the attendees to relax, enjoy themselves and discuss Screen Squeeze
with the press, bloggers and celebrities that filled the venue.
Among the 280 invited guests were famous faces including Nick Grimshaw, Keith Lemon, Noel
Fielding, Caroline Flack, Mark Wright, Michelle Keegan, Rylan, Joey Essex, Luisa Zuissman and the cast
of the E4 shows, Made in Chelsea, My Mad Fat Diary, The Midnight Beast and Rude(ish) Tube. Troy
made sure to single out some of these celebrities and include them in his magic tricks; one that sticks
in mind is Troy and Keith Lemon, who made an entertaining duo and had the audience streaming
tears of laughter.
E4s launch night appeared to be a great success and guests left feeling happy and excited about the
prospect of this new magazine show. It is definitely going to be one to watch if you are interested in
gossip, entertainment, music, sports or fashion. The first episode, which covered beauty products,
fashion trends, football updates, festival news and a live music performance, gained 20% more
viewers than E4 had aimed for, which is a great starting point for Screen Squeeze. Personally, I see
the show being a huge success, and will definitely appeal to both males and females in the 18-34 age
demographic.
You can catch Screen Squeeze on E4 at 9pm every
Saturday and Sunday.
