The Client

Kings Theatre is an elegant, Grade II listed, Edwardian playhouse in Portsmouth. One of the city’s most important theatres, Kings has been supplying the residents of Portsmouth and Southsea with everything from drama to opera to comedy since it opened its doors in 1907. An extensive restoration has helped Kings remain the jewel in the crown of the South Coast’s cultural scene.

The Challenge

The Box Office were struggling to sell tickets for a particular show. To deliver a quick increase in sales, we proposed that they use our Web Page Takeover product, so that their ads would appear as prominently as possible on the website of their local paper – The News, Portsmouth. 

The Result

Their showstopping online ads engaged the local audience so much that the theatre saw ticket sales for the event in question quadruple in under a day!

We had a web page takeover on the homepage of The News website to push a show that appealed to online audiences. The results were fantastic and we saw ticket sales for the particular show quadruple in less than a day! The option was reasonably priced and very easy to arrange. We look forward to using this option again in the future.
