How Club 3000 Scored Big Online and Off

From bingo halls to TikTok feeds, Club 3000 has grown into one of the UK’s most loved bingo brands. Our integrated strategy connected digital audiences with real players, real stories, and real excitement, proving that combining traditional media and creative content can bring community to life.

The Brief.

Club 3000 Bingo wanted to strengthen its community presence, refresh its brand image, and increase engagement across social and traditional media. The Media People were given two objectives:

1. Social & Content: Create a content strategy to grow Club 3000’s online community and reflect the fun, social atmosphere of its clubs.

2. Media & Launches: Run regional launch campaigns for new clubs in Edinburgh and Leeds, using traditional and digital media to drive awareness, footfall, and excitement.

The Solution.

Social & Content

We launched a 12-month social media retainer focused on Instagram, later expanding to TikTok as engagement grew. Our approach put content at the heart of the brand, transforming Club 3000’s social presence from promotional to personality driven. We built a strategy around community storytelling, humour, and trend led Reels that captured the energy of real bingo nights and the people who make them special. From club filming days to meme driven Reels, our goal was simple: make bingo feel relevant, entertaining, and part of local culture..

Media & Launches

To support new club openings in Edinburgh and Leeds, we implemented a fully integrated media strategy – combining TV, radio, press, OOH, door drops, and in-club activations to drive awareness and excitement.

We connected with local women aged 30+ through targeted door drops, supported by coverage in the Yorkshire Evening Post and Metro Yorkshire. Bold outdoor ads, from bus rears to billboards, helped spread the word, while PR and influencer activity created a real buzz. Everything culminated in high-energy opening nights, complete with Jack P. Shepherd’s celebrity appearance in Leeds where in-club POS, competitions, and social callouts tied online and offline audiences together.
