Music PR brand activation – Fatboy Slim Branded Campervan Photobooth
Fatboy Slim’s record company, BMG, wanted a bold, memorable Music PR brand activation to promote new music releases and drive traffic directly to his Spotify profile and to drive ticket sales for a weekend festival (All Back to Minehead). The goal was to cut through traditional PR noise and create a real-world experience fans would actually engage with and share online.
They needed something eye-catching, interactive and on-brand with Fatboy Slim’s iconic, playful energy.
Music PR brand activation concept - Branded campervan photobooth
Buttercup Bus transformed one of our classic VW campervans into a fully branded mobile photobooth experience.
The van was wrapped in bespoke decals featuring the label’s artwork, logos and campaign messaging – turning it into a moving billboard that instantly drew crowds at events and pop-ups as part of the music PR brand activation.
Inside, guests stepped into a custom-designed photobooth setup, complete with themed props inspired by Fatboy Slim’s music and visuals.
The Branded Campervan Photobooth Experience
The activation delivered both real-world buzz and measurable digital engagement. This was exactly what the Music PR brand activation campaign needed. Guests were invited to:
