XG brand Lostprophets concert for ‘The Valleys Homecoming’

January 2010:

Welsh band Lostprophets kicked off a series of flagship events with a concert to launch the high profile ‘The Valleys – Heart and Soul Campaign’. The ‘Valleys Homecoming’ initiative saw the band perform at a private gig at Hawthorn High School, Pontypridd, where they sang their brand new single – aptly titled ‘Where We Belong.’

The campaign is aimed at generating more awareness of the region and to let people know what it is that makes the Valleys so special. XG were commissioned to brand the campaign with large format banners, pop ups and feather flags.

XG brand Brawn’s F1 championship
parade with feather flags

November 2009:

The team which brought Formula 1 glory to Brackley celebrated publicly when they travelled through the town of Brackley on open top buses yesterday.

To mark this achievement, the parade made its way through the crowd-filled streets lined with feather flags of congratulation, produced by XG Group.

Ross Brawn said it had been an incredible year for the team, winning both world championships after the team's future was thrown into doubt by the withdrawal of Honda last December. He added: "After all the difficult times that we went through over the winter it is a testament to the team's commitment and talent. With the Formula 1 season now having reached its conclusion, we are delighted to be able to return to Brackley and celebrate with the people of Northamptonshire."

A huge congratulations to all at Brawn GP from XG.
