14th July 20147th April 2017 By DanNo Comments

Now that Brazil 2014 has drawn to a close, we're left to review its success for our clients and Walkabout in particular, where we implemented an unprecedented level of activity for a UK bar group. Screach TV Prior to the World Cup, we helped install Screach TV into the majority of Walkabout venues and then worked on the content that would shape our World Cup experience. Here's an example of some of the team content that we produced for customers to view prior to the match. We produced team profiles, player profiles, match promo clips and squad lists for each of the 32 nations and scheduled it accordingly for each of the 64 matches! Partnerships We secured a commercial partnership with Kitbag (market leading official sportswear provider) in addition to our existing deal with BetVernons. Kitbag suitably provided us with the kit for our staff to wear during the matches. Both Walkabout and Kitbag were equally 'giddy about Brazil'. BetVernons representatives were also on hand during...

Countdown to the World Cup begins now!

12th June 201311th June 2013 By DanNo Comments

The 2014 football world cup will kick off in exactly one year from today. The 20th edition of the tournament will kick off on Thursday 12th June in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Of the 19 previous championships, Brazil have been triumphant more than any other nation with five wins in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002 and they are the only nation to have featured in every world cup so it is perhaps fitting that A Seleção will host this landmark occasion. The World Cup is the most widely viewed sporting event. An estimated 751.1 million watched the 2006 final between Italy and France. That's a ninth of the entire global population. Even the draw was seen by approximately 300 million people! In a footballing hotbed like the UK, football fever takes over for the duration of the event with the nation coming to standstill as the festival of football ensues. With up to four matches a day, it's a sport fans paradise and with the...

Following on from the success of two Rugby Club special shows, broadcast live from The Cabbage Patch in Twickenham and O’Neills in Cardiff, Sky Sports staged a third British and Irish Lions special live from Walkabout, Temple. On the night, Rugby Club host Alex Payne was joined by a panel of four former British and Irish Lions players. Stuart Barnes, Donal Lenihan, Alan Tait and Robert Jones were on hand to field questions from the 150-strong crowd who had packed the venue to watch the show. The event was hugely popular with the fans – both Lions and Aussies alike – who enjoyed an evening of good-natured debate and banter with the panel and each other, before the majority came down on the side of a Lions victory. Simon Kaye, Chief Operating Officer at iNTERTAIN (parent company of Walkabout) commented on the success of the event: “Sky Sports made it a great event. They were really organised and everything was done really well...
