In June, Manchester experienced the return of the highly anticipated Parklife Festival, bringing in over 150,000 enthusiastic party-goers from all corners of the country.

Edison Media seized the opportunity to showcase Adidas and JD’s groundbreaking new campaign, Club Originals.

Dominating the roads, rail lines, train stations, and transport networks in and around Manchester, the city takeover was impossible to miss. Leveraging all available platforms to advertise the JD X Adidas collaboration, Edison ensured that the attention of festival-goers and the wider public was captured.

“Parklife weekend is the ultimate celebration of music, art, and culture. We saw this as the perfect opportunity to showcase Adidas and JD’s groundbreaking Club Originals campaign,” said Nicola Orrell, MD, Edison Media.

The Edison team recognised the significance of engaging consumers at every touchpoint, as passenger shuttle buses were ready to transport Parklife attendees to and from the festival grounds, serving as mobile canvases for displaying the JD X Adidas campaign, further amplifying the collaboration’s reach and impact.

The success of the full city takeover of Manchester stands as a testament to Edison’s Media expertise in orchestrating large-scale campaigns, the company added.
