HELLOOOO!

Mrs Doubtfire has hit the streets of Birmingham, and help is well and truly on the way to Birmingham Hippodrome 🤩

There’s nothing we love more than seeing a media plan undergo its own Mrs Doubtfire-style transformation, going from an idea on a plan to a larger-than-life D96!

Last week, Vicki, Alice and Isobel headed to Soho House & Co in White City for a brilliant talk from Sam Thompson, Jamie Laing and Ben Hacker, covering all things content and the importance of building a personal brand.

One message that really stuck with us was the importance of taking risks. If you don’t give something a go, you’ll never know whether it could have worked. Sometimes, you just have to trust your gut and take the leap!

We all left buzzing with ideas for our clients and our own social channels, and we can’t wait to put some of them into action 👀

This International Day of Charity, we’re celebrating the organisations working every day to make a difference ❤️

We’re proud to work with a number of clients across the charity sector, helping them raise awareness, reach the right audiences and make every media pound work as hard as possible.

We’re shining a spotlight on some of the brilliant organisations we love working with, and the important work happening behind every campaign 🙌

We’ve been spreading the love ❤️

Our multimedia campaign for As You Like It has been capturing hearts across the Midlands, from eye-catching OOH and print to highly targeted digital advertising.

Shakespeare Creative was also busy bringing the audio campaign to life, which aired on Magic at the Musicals 👂

And the excitement doesn’t stop there: Jonathan Groff has officially arrived in the UK and rehearsals are now underway. We can’t wait to see this production come to life!

September is here 🍂😱

With the ‘ber’ months officially upon us, we wanted to look back at the summer of 2026 and everything we’ve been up to at Shakespeare Media.

Claire kicked off the summer celebrations with a song and dance as she announced the office sweepstake and got us all into the football spirit (even those of us who had no clue what was going on 👀)

Then we well and truly got summer underway with an incredible team trip to Marbella. Plenty of cocktails were consumed, and memories were made as we celebrated the hard work that has made the past 12 months so successful for Shakespeare Media 🤩

Throw in plenty of client meetings, successful campaigns and the small matter of being announced as double finalists at the Midlands Marketing Awards… and it’s safe to say it’s been a busy one!

This summer has definitely been one to remember, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store 🙌

National Racehorse Week naturally brings attention to some of the UK’s biggest racing events, but The Jockey Club’s calendar goes far beyond the headline fixtures 🐎

From Warwick and Huntingdon to Market Rasen, Exeter, Wincanton and Carlisle, each racecourse has its own programme of meetings and its own local audience.

Promoting these fixtures isn’t simply about creating a smaller version of a festival campaign. It’s about understanding where people are travelling from, why they attend and which media channels are most likely to reach them.

That could mean postcode-led door drops, outdoor advertising in the local area or digital audio targeted to households within a specific drive time.

Every racecourse has its own place within the local community, so every media plan should be built around the course, the fixture and the people it wants to reach!

2026 has delivered plenty of positive signs for The Jockey Club and the future of British racing, from growing crowds to a younger and more diverse audience 🐎

Across three of the sport’s most iconic racecourses, the figures show real momentum:

Cheltenham Racecourse

📍 The Cheltenham Festival welcomed around 8,000 more racegoers than in 2025. Day one attracted 57,242 people, up from 55,498, while Day two, Ladies Day, saw attendance rise from 41,941 to 46,317 – an increase of more than 10%.

📍 St Patrick’s Thursday welcomed 55,648 racegoers, around 2,000 more than the same day last year.

📍 The audience is evolving too, with women accounting for 33% of attendees on Ladies Day, compared with 25% in 2025.

Aintree Racecourse – The Randox Grand National Festival

📍 The three-day Randox Grand National Festival delivered an 11% increase in paid tickets, with both Ladies Day and Grand National Day selling out.

📍 The Festival also recorded a 24% increase in bookers aged 18–24, showing that one of racing’s most iconic events is continuing to attract a new generation of fans.

Epsom Downs Racecourse - The Betfred Derby Festival

📍 Day one of the Festival, Ladies Day, welcomed 19,704 racegoers, representing an impressive 33% year-on-year increase.

📍 The Betfred Derby Festival also saw a 45% rise in attendees aged 18–24, alongside a 17% increase in those travelling from within five miles of the racecourse, demonstrating the growing appeal of racing among younger and local audiences.

During National Racehorse Week, these figures offer another reason to celebrate the sport. Bigger crowds, broader audiences and a new generation discovering the excitement of a day at the races 🎉

It's National Racehorse Week 🐎

We’re proud to work with The Jockey Club, helping to promote some of the biggest moments in British racing. From iconic race days to major festivals, our campaigns bring the excitement of the racecourse to audiences across OOH, digital, audio, TV and more.

This week is a brilliant opportunity to celebrate the remarkable racehorses at the heart of the sport, as well as the dedicated teams who care for them every day 🤩

How far would you travel for a great day out? 👀

For our year long campaign with Compton Verney, we’re showing people across the region that art, nature and a brilliant day out are closer than they might think.

Targeting the M40 corridor from Solihull to Banbury, every piece of artwork has been tailored to its location, featuring local drive times to Compton Verney. Because sometimes, the only thing stopping you from visiting somewhere new is not realising just how close it is!

This multi media campaign brings together digital audio, including the Spotify ad created by Simon at Shakespeare Creative, programmatic advertising, OOH and print, reaching audiences in high footfall locations across Warwick, Leamington Spa, Wellesbourne, Banbury and Solihull. 🌳
