Piccadilly Lights Live Coding

Capabilities showcased

  • Brand Experience

Inspiring the nation’s kids to code.

We took over the world-famous Piccadilly Circus, in a one day activation that showed children how to code by creating their own avatars on a bespoke app.

These avatars were displayed on the iconic screens at the London landmark, seen by the 273,972 people who pass through Piccadilly Circus every day.

The activation is part of BT’s biggest brand campaign in 20 years, “Beyond Limits”, where we highlighted the fact that BT are helping 5 million school children learn coding skills through its ‘Barefoot’ tech education programme.

Four young people gathered around an iPad, creating an avatar.
