The Ideal Home Show has announced a brand partnership with long-running British soap opera Coronation Street (Corrie) for its 2011 edition.
Show organiser Media 10 will be able to use Corrie branding and set design at this year’s show, which runs from the 11 to 27 March.
It will also be entitled to use Corrie branding and artwork on the Ideal Show Homes section of the event onsite, and branding on product, retail, outdoor, and multiplatform marketing channels, as well as across all marketing and PR event promotion.
“This is a pairing of two of the nation's favourite brands, through what will be a highly visible promotional partnership,” said director of promotions at ITV Studios Global Entertainment, Corine Pouvreau Miles. “Corrie fans will also have the chance to win tickets to the event through joint website promotions with our TV sponsor, Harveys the furniture store.”
The event will also host special guest appearances of past and current Corrie cast members over the course of its 17-day tenure at Earls Court, London.
Four De Boer employees paced the streets of London to raise money for a good cause this month.
The team all completed the MoonWalk London event on 11 May.
Media 10 has claimed the ninth Grand Designs Live, London show had its best ever figures with more than 111,000 visitors (unaudited) across the nine-day event, held 4 to 12 May at Excel.
ACC Liverpool, home to BT Convention Centre and Echo Arena, has made three key appointments to its sales team to develop the venue in the international association and corporate markets.
