The Bridgend County #selfiebench

In early 2016, Bridgend County Council installed two benches along the award-winning Welsh coastline. The only problem was that, rather than facing the ocean, the benches faced a busy road and hotel. The media soon got wind of this and several newspapers printed articles about a botched council job.

We saw this as an opportunity to promote Bridgend County in a positive light. This was no council mishap, this was the birth of the UK’s first dedicated #selfiebench!

A short release and a few quick selfies later and the world soon started taking notice…
