Netflix's "As Seen on Netflix" Pop-Up Shop: Netflix took fandom to a whole new level with their exclusive one-day "As Seen on Netflix" pop-up shop in London and Birmingham. Fans had the chance to get up close with iconic props and costumes from hit shows like Bridgerton and Top Boy. Adding a digital twist, Netflix also hosted an online auction benefiting UK charity Mind, giving fans a chance to bid on these items from home. This activation cleverly merges exclusivity, fan engagement, and social impact, making it a standout event.
