What we did

We recreated the iconic Byers living room from the first season of Stranger Things, transforming the Inspire Zone in O2 stores into a nostalgic Hawkins-inspired set. The concept needed to be instantly recognisable not only to fans of the show but also to casual shoppers, making the Byers home the perfect creative route.

The set combined detailed set dressing with interactive elements that encouraged visitors to explore the space, discover Easter eggs from the show and engage with the O2 Priority platform.

The activation invited customers to take part in a competition to win a £500 Stranger Things bundle. Entry was available through multiple touchpoints including the in-store quiz, feedback surveys and social posts using the campaign hashtag.

By combining digital interaction with physical exploration, the experience encouraged longer dwell times and deeper engagement with the brand.

How it worked

Without any paid digital media driving footfall, the activation generated strong organic traction across TikTok and Instagram. Visitors shared their experiences online, helping the installation reach more than 750,000 views and extending the campaign far beyond the store floor.
