Case Study
Christmas at The Liberty Romford — Parade & Santa's Grotto
Event videography for the Christmas celebrations at The Liberty Romford — capturing the festive parade, Santa's Grotto, and the seasonal atmosphere across the shopping centre.
Brief
The Liberty Romford commissioned Vivid Squad to cover the centre's Christmas programme — a festive season activation designed to draw footfall and create shareable moments for families across Romford and East London. The brief was to capture the parade, the Santa's Grotto experience, and the festive atmosphere throughout the centre in a way that worked for social media and seasonal marketing.
Shopping centre Christmas campaigns live or die on their social content. The brief called for footage that communicated the energy and warmth of the event — real families, real reactions, and the visual cues that signal Christmas has arrived at The Liberty.

About the Project
Christmas at The Liberty Romford is an annual activation that competes for attention across a busy seasonal calendar. The content produced gave the centre's marketing team a strong set of assets — parade footage, Grotto moments, and festive atmosphere — deployable across Instagram, Facebook, and in-centre digital signage.
This commission is part of Vivid Squad's ongoing relationship with The Liberty Romford — arriving with an existing understanding of the space and the client's content expectations means faster delivery and stronger results.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you cover shopping centre and retail Christmas events?
Yes — retail seasonal activations are a strong part of our event portfolio. We understand the brief for these: social-first content that communicates energy and warmth, delivered quickly so the client can publish while momentum is high.
Can you cover both a parade and an indoor activation in the same shoot?
Yes — multi-location event coverage is standard for us. We plan the shooting schedule around the event programme, ensuring key moments across different spaces are all captured in a single day.
