Case Study: The Summer Takeover (And Why Creative agencies love Preston Court).
🌳✨ Let’s talk about the summer Preston Court went full ‘Phantom.’ ✨🌳
Four years ago, we handed the keys to our estate over to one of London’s most innovative digital studios.
They didn’t just book a venue; they executed a full-scale creative takeover. The result? An unforgettable, high-energy event that proved why Preston Court is the ultimate playground for the UK’s top creative minds.
The Challenge: Creative agencies are different. You don’t want a sterile hotel conference room or a “package” experience. You want a canvas—a place that reflects your brand’s edge and gives your team the space to decompress and play, hard.
The Preston Court Solution
When the Phantom team arrived, they traded skyscrapers for sprawling fields and digital screens for a high-octane, “retro-festival” atmosphere.
The Blank Canvas Barns: The Oak Barn was stripped of its “traditional” feel and transformed into a production-ready hub. Whether you’re projecting branding onto 17th-century timber or setting up a bespoke lighting rig, our infrastructure is built for high-spec activations.
The “Work-Hard, Play-Hard” Transition: They moved seamlessly from strategy sessions to a full-blown competitive field day. The grounds were alive with Tug of War, Beanbag tosses, and “Silly Races” featuring Sacks, Eggs & Spoons, and the inevitable chaos of Water Balloons.
The Ultimate Fairground Vibes: We brought out the big guns for the Phantom crew. The estate echoed with the sounds of Dodgem Cars, the Test Your Strength Striker, and friendly rivalry at the Cork Shooting and Darts stalls.
Creative Expression: To keep the studio’s artistic roots front and centre, a dedicated Graffiti Wall allowed the team to leave their mark on the day—proving that inspiration flows better outside the office walls.
The Vintage Wow-Factor: Nothing says “agency life” like the contrast of a cutting-edge digital team taking a spin on our Victorian Carousel under the stars. It’s the ultimate nostalgic “wow” factor that looks incredible on every team member’s social feed.
