Selfridges Birmingham

For eight years, Reeves Media was retained as the regional retail PR agency for the Selfridges’ Birmingham store.

The brand came to us to promote the store’s schemes & initiatives, showcase exclusive offerings and make everyone yellow with envy. That’s retail PR done right.

Luxury Brands

We helped Selfridges Birmingham redefine luxury with the launch of its transformed Level 4 and personal shopping suite.

Level 4 of the Bullring department store houses premium brands and one-of-a-kind boutiques including Christian Louboutin, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Jimmy Choo, as well as the store’s largest shoe department outside London with more than 1,700 styles from almost 50 designers.

To promote we collaborated with Style Birmingham and secured the cover. This not only promoted the space, but showcased the current ready to wear offerings for the holiday season.

Store Reopening

We provided retail PR to the Selfridges brand through its Covid-19 closures and both re-openings in June and December of 2020.

Throughout the closed period, we were able to secure consistent coverage and generate fresh PR stories that were relevant and engaging to a homebound audience.

To promote the first reopening, the brand tasked us with securing prominent regional coverage in key news media and lifestyle publications.

Through our retail PR experience, we exceeded expectations and achieved a total reach of over 8.4 million.

Doors were set to reopen again after Lockdown 2.0 and we found ourselves with the same task, but with increased KPIs. We stepped up to the challenge and achieved national television coverage and an overall reach of 57 million.

Project Earth

We spearheaded the regional launch of Project Earth – the brand’s new major sustainability initiative.

The ultimate aim is to become the world’s leading responsible multi-brand retailer, putting longevity, creativity and sustainability at the heart of the business.

Selfridges is pledging to tackle climate change with a specific focus on major operational changes within the retail industry. Coverage was achieved through media relations and retail PR expertise.
