DDA Live brought the laughs to life for the screening of Series 2 of Amazon Prime’s Last One Laughing at Battersea Power Station Cinema. From a fully branded sweet cart to a custom-wrapped Whack-a-Mole inspired by Jimmy’s button-bashing moments, every detail was designed to reflect the hilarity of the show. Guests stepped into the fun with a live caricaturist capturing their funniest sides, plus a fully custom photobooth with comedic props. A bold screening packed with personality and plenty of laughs.

Congrats to NEON, who is featured on this year’s TIME100 Most Influential Companies.
“My favorite thing Céline Sciamma ever said is: ‘If your art isn’t political, is it truly art?’” says founder and CEO of NEON Tom Quinn (thumbnail), referring to the French screenwriter and director whose films Portrait of a Lady on Fire (frame 2) and Petite Maman were released by Neon in North America. “It’s not always true, but I think it’s a very consistent theme across most of our movies.”

In March, DDA Live had the exciting opportunity to produce an action packed weekend for a group of creators to celebrate the launch of Netflix’s Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man!
✨Over in Birmingham, the DDA Influencer team managed over 50 global creators as part of the wider Creator Programme, including overseeing talent at the world premiere and afterparty.
✨The weekend unfolded across Birmingham, beginning with a welcome mixer before heading to Digbeth Loc. Studios to visit the infamous Garrison pub set.
✨Creators then stepped into character with a ‘Becoming Tommy’ workshop, before rounding off the day with a Shelby Family Dinner and drinks reception. ✨Guests then got premiere-ready at Small Heath Bespoke Tailoring & Barber Shop, where they had the opportunity to get a Tommy trim or Ada-inspired styling and embroider their flat caps and suspenders with their initials.
✨Alongside the tour, DDA Influencers led the end-to-end management of creator junket activity, securing and overseeing exclusive interviews with Barry Keoghan, Steven Knight, Tom Harper and Antony Genn.
The campaign was a great success with creators leaving with the swagger of a Peaky Blinder!🎬

Last week, our Corporate & Special Projects and UK Publicity teams were on the ground at the Royal Television Society Programme Awards 2026 ✨
Celebrating the very best of UK television, the night was hosted by Tom Allen, and saw the BBC lead with an impressive 16 wins. Awards season favourite and DDA Series Awards title Adolescence also had a standout evening, taking home four awards - including Breakout and Supporting Actor (Male) for Owen Cooper. A special moment came as Erin Doherty presented the Judges’ Award to Adolescence co-creator Stephen Knight, alongside Hannah Walters and Matriarch Productions, recognising their work in championing underrepresented voices and authentic storytelling.
Behind the scenes, our C&SP team led on corporate comms, from announcing nominees to sharing the winners, alongside our UK team, who also handled the carpet on the night.
The DDA Entertainment Social team brought Brat Summer back into business with the campaign for The Moment. A film by Aidan Zamiri, based on an original idea by Charli XCX.
The team curated bespoke content for the campaign spotlighting fan reviews and the return of the green ‘Brat Wall” in Shoreditch, with a particular highlight being the “UK Now Accepts Brat” content shoot; where the streets of Dalston became the backdrop to the launch of the “Brat Card”.
DDA Series Awards are proud to celebrate our clients whose shows have been recognised across the #BAFTATVAwards and #BAFTACraftAwards nominations today. Across our clients we’ve received 65 nominations from Drama Series, to International, Production Design and Director: Fiction, it’s great to see the achievements recognised across scripted and unscripted.
