Living in London and being a true follower of dance music myself... on one odd day, I decided to hold an event (for my birthday)... but not just any event... we said if we're going to run an event, let's go all the way... and go BIG... That's exactly what we did... Thanks to my extensive guerrilla marketing experience/know-how and my business savvy; along with proper planning, strategic alignment with the potential competition, selecting one of the most popular nightclubs in London - adding decor/visuals, recruiting the world's no. 1 DJs/Producers in the world along with live PAs and live VJ-ing (a total of 30 DJs across 4 dance arenas), throwing in a few teasers via media/flyers/newsletters and spreading word-of-mouth, etc... not to mention the theatrical on-stage out-of-this world choreographed dance shows... and including the personalised media invites to witness history in the making.... TOXIK became recognised overnight (a brand that came out of nowhere, by an unknown brand)... as the no. 1 club in London during the following month's write-up of the event - above every other club promotion run that same evening - 40 promotions the same night (including the likes of Godskitchen South, Logic)... We were an overnight success :-)TOXIK :: It's not poison, one dose of Toxik is all you need for the euphoric tonic of your life! ::
