Time Out, the leading global media and entertainment brand, has partnered with Deliveroo, the award-winning delivery service, to bring a series of four food battles to London this autumn. The Time Out Creative Solutions team, Deliveroo and the7stars have collaborated to develop and deliver an integrated content partnership across Time Out channels. Inspiring content celebrating the best of London’s food scene is at the heart of this campaign, aimed at driving the association between Deliveroo and amazing food. A key element of the partnership is a live event series, which will see four tongue-in-cheek boxing-styled food battles crown London’s ultimate burger, pizza, ramen and chicken over the coming months. Kicking off with Battle of the Burger on October 6, eight burgers from across London - curated by Time Out editors and available only on Deliveroo - went head to head in a culinary championship at the Geffrye Museum in Shoreditch to battle it out for the title of best burger in London. Dates for the other three events will be announced shortly. Further to that, a 360-degree campaign will be integrated across all Time Out channels over four months, launching in print with a glossy cover wrap, advertorials, display advertising and editorial tie-ins. Digitally, there will be online feature packages, native traffic drivers to partnership content, co-branded display ads, CRM, digital display takeovers and roadblocks on partnership content.

In 1968, Time Out was created at a London kitchen table. A magazine packed with the best things to do in the city – from art, film and gigs to theatre and reviews of restaurants serving ‘rabbit food’ – Time Out was something never seen before. It was set to change city life. Fifty years on, Time Out is a global media and entertainment brand curating the best things to do in 315 cities in 58 countries, influencing how tens of millions of people go out around the world. A lot has changed, but Time Out’s mission remains the same today as when it first started: to be the trusted go-to source for information on the best of the city. Time Out’s high-quality content, curated by expert journalists, is no longer only found in magazines. It now spans a global network of websites, mobile apps, social-media channels, magazines, live events and Time Out Market, the world’s first food and cultural market based on editorial curation. Time Out Market Lisbon opened in 2014 and is now Portugal’s most popular attraction; by the end of 2019, five new markets are set to open in Miami, New York, Boston, Chicago and Montreal. To mark its 50th anniversary, Time Out will throw a huge party in Granary Square, King’s Cross, in London on 29th September, celebrating the best of the city right now. Tickets are available now from £30 at timeout.com/50. There will be dedicated content across Time Out channels all over the world, an exhibition at London’s Museum of Brands from 12th September and a book –

Time Out has curated and created an eight-week event series, taking London’s best experiences from the pages of its website and magazine to the sky. Working closely with The Story Lab and Vizeum, the ‘Time Out’s Eye-Openers’ campaign is built around a series of unique events in the Coca-Cola London Eye capsules this summer. The campaign, targeting Londoners, local workers and students, includes lunchtime yoga and barre, children’s storytelling, talks and performances, with the aim of promoting off-peak visits to the attraction. Based on Time Out’s editorial recommendations of things to do in London and insights into high performing content, the brand’s Creative Solutions team has curated a series of 24 unique live experiences delivered by the Live Events team for off-peak time slots at the London Eye. Kicking off on 12th June for four weeks, the event series will return from 17th September for a second stint.  Taking over twelve capsules each day over lunchtime and after work, attendees can buy tickets on the attraction’s website for a 30-minute lunchtime yoga or barre session with skyline views led by Hackney gym The Refinery, take the kids to hear London-themed stories presented by a line-up of brilliant storytellers and performers, and expect everything from comedy performances and drag acts to serious, life-affirming discussions from the talks and performances.
