Crowds – make your event a success

There are so many crowds we have supplied over the years and a lot in the last 6 months and it’s frustrating that we can’t talk about many of the jobs… but from a client perspective – at least you know we can be discreet and not discuss it!

Some we can talk about include Lady Gaga protest to Save Smithfield Market, a group of mischief builders in London, a neighbourhood watch crowd in Liverpool, the list goes on!

Why have a crowd?

A crowd can attract a crowd!  It guarantees there will be people at your event, and will often make a bigger crowd, as onlookers are inherently nosey and will come over to find out what is going on.  We have supplied crowds to film premieres, to protests, queueing outside a venue, audiences for pilot TV productions, PR stunts and a number of other different situations.

When are crowds used?

Crowds can be used at a big event and provide some Kudos.  They can also act in a certain way if you need them too – singing, dancing, socially distancing, shouting, clapping, waving…you name it, they can do it!  And because it’s a crowd and they are often only needed for a short period of time – not a full day rate – the staff attending are pretty cost effective.

How do I make the crowd relevant?

If you want a crowd of Mum’s at a baby store launch, if you want a young crowd for a new band, young professionals to attend the opening of a gallery, joining a protest or if you want a socially distanced crowd to celebrate something, or just create a PR stunt, just let us know and we will supply the number of people you need!

Can I still book a crowd in a pandemic?

Crowds are still relevant even now, and we have had a large number of bookings, even in the middle of COVID-19.  We will request all crowd attendees wear a mask and keep a safe distance from each other.  If you require a number of crowd families, or request a crowd with people in a social bubble, they can be grouped together in pockets, so it’s helpful to really think about what you want, what you want them to achieve and a budget before you get in touch.  If you are unsure, please let us know, we have booked many a crowd so are experienced in recommending what might be best.
