2019 was an exciting year for the Huggity team, filled with events, matches and world cups, lots of travel, hectolitres of coffee and some cool innovative tech. We were lucky to work along with some forward-thinking clients and rights holders, which gave us a chance to shape the way brands are perceived by delivering engagement and impactful experiences.
As always, we had the most fun seeing fans interacting with our installations, we engaged runners, rugby, football, cricket or basketball fans making their event day a little bit more special.
Over 50,000 of them during the whole 2019, freezing each experience in time and delivering it as digitalised, branded and shareable memory, which reached over 50 million of their friends on social media – amplifications that created great connections between audiences and our partnering brands.
Join us on the journey where we show you some of our 2019 favourites!
When it comes to delivering global activations, there are is no limit for our team! We’ve enjoyed traveling around the world, creating unique and one of a kind experiences for fans, which left them with great memories.
Euroleague Final FourSlamDunk
Bilbao, Spain
May, 2019
Every fan’s dream coming true… We were asked by Euroleague to create a Fan Zone experience that can be really different and surprising… Our idea gave fans an opportunity of performing a Slam Dunk on a trampoline and take the memory with them in the form of a Slow Motion video.
Something not achievable for everyone became possible for every fan at the Euroleague Final Four Fan zone 2019!

Energia Scrum Machine Challenge
Dublin, Ireland
All year round
We designed a unique matchday experience where you can test your Scrum strength and challenge your friends on Scrum Machine.
The Scrum Machine was designed to measure your strength, compared to a professional rugby player, and the best thing is, we instantly deliver a GIF image to all participants taking part in the experience, so they can share it in social media with a branded frame and their scrum strength percentage.
Everyone can participate and have fun in the challenge; the scrum machine has no age or gender limits!
