What 98 Productions Does

A production house
for the next wave.

98 Productions is not just an event brand. It is a platform for building cultural exchange, artist movement, brand partnerships, and long-term creative infrastructure connecting the UK, Canada, and the world. Music × Art × Film × Fashion × Nightlife × Business × Community × Culture.

I
Live Events & Club Nights

Club nights, concerts, DJ showcases, artist showcases, listening parties, after parties, festival side events, and city-to-city event series across UK and Canadian cities — curated for the rooms that matter.

II
Artist Development & Touring

UK artists entering Canada. Canadian artists breaking into UK and European rooms. DJs placed across multiple cities. A structured touring platform that gives artists real market access, not just a flight.

III
Brand Activations & Partnerships

Fashion collaborations, drink brand activations, streetwear pop-ups, music and lifestyle partnerships, sponsor-backed events, and private brand experiences — authentically embedded in the culture, not bolted on.

IV
Content & Media

Every event produces content that travels. Recap films, DJ clips, artist interviews, social reels, behind-the-scenes footage, mini-docs, and sponsor packages that extend every cultural moment globally.

The Platform

One house.
Four arms.

Motion
Bristol.

Motion · Bristol, UK · Frontline × 98 Productions

The Canada ↔ UK bridge becoming real. Frontline teamed with the Canada-based 8.O / Ninth ecosystem to co-curate a major event at Motion Bristol — one of the UK's premier venues. This wasn't just an event. It was proof of concept for a genuinely international production model.

98 Exchange

The cross-Atlantic
cultural bridge.

98 Exchange is our cross-Atlantic infrastructure — connecting the UK, Canada, and wider international creative markets through artist movement, DJ placements, city-to-city programming, creative collaborations, and brand partnerships.

When a UK artist plays Vancouver, or a Canadian DJ lands a Bristol room, that's 98 Exchange working. The pipeline is live, the relationships are real, and the infrastructure keeps growing.

City Programming

The culture lives
in cities.

Each city arm of 98 operates as its own cultural unit — rooted in local scenes, connected to the wider platform. 98 Bristol, 98 London, and 98 Vancouver are the first three. New cities slot into the same model as we grow.

98
98 Bristol
UK · Phase 1 · Active

Bristol is the anchor UK city — home to Motion, Lakota, Psyked, and Frontline. The city where the Canada ↔ UK story started, and where the momentum keeps building.

98 London
UK · Phase 1 · Active

London is the industry hub — A&R, media, label relationships, and the biggest stages. The city where international artists break and brands look to enter the UK market.

98 Vancouver
Canada · Phase 1 · Active

Vancouver is the North American base — home of 8.O Entertainment, 520 Alexander Street, and the cross-Atlantic strategy. Where UK artists land and Canadian artists launch from.

Brand Activations

Culture is the
best media buy.

We don't bolt brands onto events — we embed them into cultural moments that people actually remember. From drink brand activations and fashion collabs to private experiences and corporate cultural programming.

🥂
Drink Brand Activations

On-the-ground product presence inside events people are already at — custom bar builds, experiential serving, brand-adjacent programming that doesn't feel like advertising.

👔
Fashion & Streetwear Collabs

Limited drops, pop-ups, capsule collections and styling partnerships tied to events. Clothing brands that want authentic cultural placement, not a banner.

🏢
Corporate & Cultural Activations

Private experiences, invite-only cultural moments and bespoke programming for brands and companies that want to connect with creative and music communities meaningfully.

🎯
Sponsor-Backed Events

Full event sponsorship — title, presenting, category exclusivity. Your brand as the reason an important cultural event happens, with proper visibility and ROI reporting.

🎪
Festival Integrations

Brand integration at festival side events and showcases — reaching the tastemaker crowd in a moment they're already primed to discover something new.

🌍
Cross-Atlantic Brand Campaigns

For brands wanting simultaneous presence in UK and Canadian markets — one activation, two markets, real cultural infrastructure on both sides of the Atlantic.
