The International Animation Film Festival (MIFA) was created in 1960 and takes place every June in the town of Annecy, France.
Expanding our relationship with Cartoon Networks, 2BP were delighted to attend this unique event which provides visitors with the opportunity to see world premieres and enjoy free open-air night showings on the Pâquier, amongst the lake and mountains.
Shaun the Sheep! After enjoying a few days sunshine in Cannes last week working with Aardman, Miramax, Passion and Avalon at MIPTV, we were delighted to round off the event by hearing of Aardman’s win in the Kids Animation category and can’t think of a better way to celebrate 10 years of Shaun!
At 2BP we understand that exhibitions provide a unique opportunity to provide a face-to-face connection between a brand and the customer. A place where companies can present their core values, products and services and leave customers feeling better for the experience.
“We worked with 2BP from the U.S. to design and coordinate a booth in Nuremberg, Germany. They listened to our needs and developed a design that performed perfectly in a new market for us. It was gorgeous and presented our products and category in a really fun way. I received lots of praise for the look and feel of our booth, and I never even got to see it in person!”

Was the advice being given by one of the UK’s most high-profile business woman and star of The Apprentice, Karen Brady to visitors at Spring Fair last week. Over 60,000 visitors across multiples, independents and online retailers from the UK, Europe and internationally attended the event at the NEC last week. Waiting to greet them in Hall 5 was 2BP client HTI. By combining popular everyday toy lines with some of the biggest character brands in the market, HTI showcased its extensive selection of pocket money toy and bubbles ranges.
Toy Fair 2017
24 – 26 January, Olympia, London
Having sold out 4 months prior to its doors opening the 2017 London Toy Fair once again provided a great opportunity to touch, feel and experience new toy products.
Hatchimals from 2BP client Spin Master were undoubtedly the runaway toy success of 2016. These fuzzy, interactive, little creatures that hatch out of an egg sold out in the run up to Christmas. Don’t worry if you didn’t discover one under the tree, our friends at Spin Master tell us “The consumer response to Hatchimals has been extraordinary, exceeding all expectations. We have increased production and a whole new batch of Hatchimals will be ready to hatch in early 2017”
2016 has been a productive year at 2BP. We’ve been immersed into the diverse worlds of Beauty, Bird Watching, Education, Entertainment, Fleet Services, Games, Grounds Care, Licensing, Logistics, Modelling, Photography, Pop Culture, Recycling, Refuse Collection, Spa’s, Street Cleansing, Toys, Trampolining and Weddings.
SALTEX
2 – 3 November, NEC, Birmingham
Not quite “Movember” but more “Mowvember” for 2BP. Our latest client Ransomes have been a constant in the turfcare sector since 1832, when the world’s first lawn mower, designed by Edwin Budding, was built at its Ipswich plant. The stand we designed for Ransomes was successfully installed at SALTEX, the event for grounds care, sports, amenities, estates and green space management. SALTEX is now in its second year at the NEC having relocated from Windsor Racecourse in 2015.
Today marks the start of Autumn but here at 2BP we kicked off our busy autumn period earlier this month with a stand design and build for Vuly Trampolines, at the meeting place for the international gardening world, Spoga+gafa in Cologne. Here, over 2,000 exhibitors from around 60 countries present their innovations for the green oasis to almost 40,000 international trade visitors.
