Case study: No Escape London

Three years on one venue, and still running.

No Escape London is an immersive escape room venue, a client of ours since 2023. It is the longest running account we have, and the case for it is not a viral number: it is that the client is still here.

The client

A niche venue, and why the numbers are smaller.

No Escape London sells immersive escape room experiences in London. Its owner also owns Purgatory Bar, and both have been with us since 2023, on separate agreements.

The audience is narrower than a hotel booker or a cocktail crowd, and the figures are smaller. That is why we publish them.

The job is visibilityPeople book an escape room when they are planning something; the content has to be there when that thought comes.
Instagram and FacebookCreative direction, production, captions, scheduling and monthly reporting across both.
Copy that travelledCopy we wrote for the venue was used in Conde Nast and TimeOut. That is the venue's press, not ours.
The same teamThree years, no relaunch, no account handed between strangers.

The account

As a follower sees it.

The Instagram account we run, at instagram.com/noescapelondon: 1,040 posts across four London sites, the Halloween events, the teams who escaped and the ones who nearly did. Move over the screen to scroll it.

Results

January to June 2026.

Read from Meta Business Suite for those six months. Where a figure was flat we have left it flat.

What moved: watch time and three second views, the two figures that matter for a venue selling an experience people need to see before they book.

What barely moved: Instagram interactions, up 3.9 per cent. A niche venue does not double its engagement every quarter, and the figure is here because it is true.

Client reviews

What it shows

The unglamorous case for consistency.

Booking intent is occasionalSomeone has a birthday in three weeks; at that moment the venue comes to mind or it does not. Presence has to be constant.
Three years is the resultAn agency is easy to keep for a quarter and hard to keep for three years, on a month to month agreement.
What we do not claimNo booking is attributed to a post, and the press coverage is the venue's own.

Questions

About this work

Why publish an account with modest numbers?

Because a portfolio of only viral results is a highlight reel. This is what steady work on a small audience looks like over three years.

Did you get the venue into Conde Nast?

No. Copy we wrote was used in coverage in Conde Nast and TimeOut; the press is the venue's achievement. Our own press is a feature in Women's Health.

What does a three year retainer involve?

Creative direction, content, captions, scheduling and monthly reporting across Instagram and Facebook, every month, without a relaunch.

Can I leave a monthly plan?

Yes, with 2 months notice. Three years that survived thirty six chances to end is a stronger signal than a locked contract.
