BUILDHOLLYWOOD

Twenty-four years after Big Beach Boutique – which brought over 250,000 people to the Brighton seafront in 2002, #FatboySlim returned to the city for a four-day rave. To mark the occasion, DIABOLICAL and JACK ARTS teamed up with JOY. Concerts, LouderUK and BMG to create two bespoke installations. The first was a street-level installation featuring Fatboy Slim’s iconic patterned shirts and a mirrored-head design, inviting passers-by to choose their favourite t-shirt and snap a selfie for a chance to win free VIP tickets to the sold-out shows. The second was a seaside cut-out, giving the perfect photo opportunity ahead of the main act. Tapping into the joy and hijinks the English DJ is best known from, both installations carried fan energy from the street to the stage, putting all eyes on one of Brighton’s biggest days out.

Since 2017, Nuart Aberdeen has hosted some of the world’s greatest figurative street muralists and abstract urban image makers. Partnering with BUILDHOLLYWOOD Scotland for this year’s iteration of the award-winning international festival, the 2026 theme was POETRY IS IN THE STREETS. Inviting established and early-career artists to let their words loose with a range of new and stunning works, the Granite City was transformed into an open-air gallery. Capturing the essence and vibrant buzz of the festival, the official video is out now 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/dSPKirfx

The Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2026 are a celebration of sport, culture and community – all set within an eight-mile corridor that brings fans, athletes and the city together. Bringing the spirit of sport to #Glasgow, JACK Scotland and Think ALT agency joined forces, launching a tease-and-reveal creative billboard at Barrowlands to introduce the official mascot, Finnie, to the world. The tattoo-clad, pink and purple haired unicorn (Scotland’s national animal) wearing a glowing-3D acrylic horn was designed by 76 children from 24 schools across Glasgow, encapsulating what modern day Glasgow meant to them. More recently, we unveiled a multi-format city-wide campaign to promote the Glasgow 2026 festivals, activities and athletes, building up on the much-anticipated moment and inviting passers-by to take part.

Alisa Oleva: Joining Invisible Dots As part of our Your Space Or Mine programme, performance and walking artist Alisa Oleva has hosted a series of urban art walks over the past years. In June she travelled north to #Manchester to host two new walks that were unique and site-specific, created for its streets, rhythms, and stories. Alisa created the first walk that explored the hidden messages woven into the city, collectively noticing the invisible and the inaudible, and connecting the invisible dots. She then invited a local walking artist-activist-academic Morag Loiters of the Loiterers Resistance Movement to create the second walk, which encouraged participants to embrace interruptions, diversions, to collectively remap the city from a new perspective.

“Go from nil-nil to nil worries.” Extra time, penalties and that sinking, seen-it-all-before feeling.

Somewhere to slow down, recharge, and remember what calm feels like. Want a campaign that takes passers-by somewhere else entirely? Let’s talk. 📩 sayhello@jackagency.co.uk
