We created Sneaky Peak.

The campaign idea is to offer unique and exclusive peeks into the world of Peaky Blinders. Over 8 weeks, we created and released at different stages, and across different media, creative content that would drive anticipation and talk-ability among our audience.

Think of it like a good old reward loyalty scheme applied to the rules and possibilities of modern-day media.

A message from the show’s creator during the Birmingham-Aston Villa derby announced to 45,000 fans - Sneaky Peak 1, recreating the iconic Garrison Tavern in Birmingham.

The BBC’s first immersive experience, it enabled local fans to explore the world of Peaky Blinders and meet the entire cast. Fans around the country engaged and interacted via two Facebook Lives.

Our second Sneaky Peak premiered the launch trail online.

Sneaky Peak 3 was another first - the exclusive release of the first 2 minutes of the episode 1.

The fourth Sneaky Peak was a series cinemagraphs, teasing new characters from series 4.

Finally the last batch of Sneaky Peaks were social films recorded and shown after each episode. Famous fans and influencers, with over 25 million social followers, were given access to the episodes. They replied to their favourite social comments and shared their own personal Sneaky Peak from the next episode.
