The Warren forms part of a brand immersion campaign that includes a presence on Bluewater’s entrance roundabout and in-mall banners.

Doing Something's Balls to Dating

Activity-based dating site Doing Something is hosting an anti-dating party at Bounce in Farringdon, London. Entitled Balls to Dating, the event will see 500 singletons mingle by playing a game of table tennis, rather than a traditional dinner-and-drinks date.

Guests will be encouraged to confess the most awkward internet dates they’ve suffered on arrival, with the funniest and most original storytellers winning the chance to explore some of London’s best dating destinations. Bounce’s resident DJ, Pete Pong, will provide a five-hour set.

When: 5 April, 7.30pm-2am

Where: Bounce, 121 Holborn, London, EC1N 2TD

To promote its new Z Pump Fusion trainer, Reebok has worked with agency Because to develop a high-octane activation. Participants are invited to use iPads to 3D-scan their feet, before trying on a pair of the shoes in the specially-designed backlit dome.

When: 3-4 April

Where: Reebok Covent Garden, 32 Long Acre, London, WC2E 9LA
