London’s IFS Cloud Cable Car and Time Out have teamed up to deliver a unique experiential campaign, introducing sky-high festive karaoke to the city this year. The partnership demonstrates a fresh approach to utilising TfL's assets for memorable brand experiences. Developed by Time Out’s Creative Solutions team and strategically briefed by TfL’s media agency Wavemaker, the activation turns two of London’s IFS Cloud Cable Cars – which cross the River Thames between Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks – into dedicated karaoke booths. Running every Thursday and Friday from 13 November to 19 December, passengers can book this unmissable Cable Car-aoke experience and perform their favourite songs while soaring above the Thames. Groups can book their own cabin (via the IFS Cloud Cable Car website), which will be transformed into a private karaoke booth with microphones, party lights, a speaker and a playlist of 1,000 songs. From pop anthems to rock classics and guilty pleasures, Cable Car-aoke offers passengers their chance to shine in London’s night sky.  The experiential element is complemented and supported by a multi-platform media campaign across Time Out's digital channels. This integrated approach connects the physical experience to Time Out's highly engaged, experience-hungry audience. The campaign includes branded content across Time Out’s website, social media and newsletters.   Joe Scheinkonig, Head of Operational Business Development at TfL said: “We’re excited...

  Time Out’s new UK edition of Sip Happens reveals how younger generations are reshaping drinking culture: choosing quality over quantity and authentic experiences over excess.   Gen Z isn’t swapping cocktails for kombucha and isn’t going dry anytime soon – it is a generation that seems to be more mindful when it comes to alcohol and is just drinking differently. How Gen Z and Millennials in the UK are reshaping drinking culture has now been revealed by new research by Time Out – the brand that inspires and enables people to experience the best of the city.   The Time Out Sip Happens Report found that these younger audiences are defined by contradictions: 40% of Gen Z never drink alcohol at home yet they are 1.5x more likely than Millennials to seek out high-ABV sips when they are out. Meanwhile, Millennials drink more consistently across every category but seek out champagne vibes on a larger budget: while 53% want fancy cocktail spots, 80% select bars based on their happy hour offering to afford their curated sophistication.   The Time Out Sip Happens Report was launched this week with UK-centric data to empower media planners, drink brands, marketing teams as well as the wider hospitality sector when targeting these audiences.    Developed by Time Out’s Creative Solutions & Insights team, the report combines quantitative and qualitative insights from Time Out Loud – the brand’s proprietary research community – with editorial expertise from Time Out editors as well as...
