Case Studies

The live music industry has been one of the most adversely impacted during the pandemic. Yet, with an end finally in sight, we were concerned that vital support that had been offered may end before the industry could benefit from it. Working with our client LIVE we helped secure hundreds of millions of pounds in vital support through the Budget.

The Government’s Events Research Programme provides the path back to live music and entertainment, testing protocols and mitigations to enable full-capacity audiences at shows.

When leading US entertainment company Oak View Group (OVG) entered the UK market, they asked Blakeney to run their media, political, and digital communications.

The UK’s world-famous live music industry had rarely engaged with Government – it had never really needed to. But, in a time of crisis, we used the power and creativity of the industry to win political support and £1.57 billion for the industry.
