When we started planning our 2025 calendar over a year ago, we knew it would be a big year. But the scale, energy, and sheer variety of events that Ritz Media covered this year genuinely exceeded our wildest expectations. From large-scale venue productions to intimate private celebrations, here's a look back at the campaigns, live moments, and numbers that made 2025 our biggest year yet.
By the Numbers
Before we dive into the specific events and campaigns, a quick numbers check. 2025 was a landmark year:
- 340+ events covered across Scotland and the wider UK
- 18 major venue partnerships, including three new international collaborations
- 2.4 million combined views across all our published event content
- 52 unique clients who chose us for their annual event coverage
Highlights of the Year
The annual venue showcase in Glasgow was a standout moment — a three-day production that required a team of 24 crew, 12 cameras, and two broadcast units. We filmed, photographed, and streamed it live to an audience that grew from an estimated 15,000 in-person attendees to over 80,000 online viewers throughout the weekend.
"Working with Ritz Media felt seamless. They understood our brand, our stage, and our audience before they even set up their first camera."

The Campaign That Went Viral
Our summer festival campaign — shot over four weekends and shared across our YouTube channel and social platforms — became our most-viewed piece of content in the company's history. The video, which captured the energy of a 3,000-attendee outdoor event, accumulated over 420,000 views in its first month alone.
What made it work wasn't the scale of the event, but the storytelling. We positioned every shot around the human experience: the anticipation in the crowd, the raw emotion of a performer's first time on that stage, the quiet moments backstage, and the collective roar that happens when a room of strangers becomes an audience together.
What's Next
2026 is already shaping up to be even bigger. We've added two new team members to our broadcast team, invested in upgraded imaging equipment, and expanded our service area to cover more regions across the UK. But our core philosophy remains the same: every event is a story, and our job is to tell it with honesty, energy, and production quality that matches the quality of what's happening on that stage or floor.
Thank you to every client, partner, and viewer who has been part of our journey. Here's to another incredible year.
