With several promotional tactics and strategic social engagement leading up the event, the CBC team coordinated a variety event logistics resulting in a packed store location filled with guests interested in both the Throne photo moment and the store itself.
Overall, existing customers and new customers alike experienced Primark in a way that they will not soon forget.
