How NQ64 use Joli's Access Collins integration to keep creator bookings flowing

NQ64 is the retro gaming bar that turned booze, beats and button bashing into one of the UK’s most distinctive nights out. Since opening in Manchester’s Northern Quarter in 2019, they’ve rolled out across a dozen UK cities, backed by Imbiba. The crowd spans date-night couples, friend groups, and the Shorty Sundays families who pile in when NQ64 drops kids into the arcade once a month.

Running creator campaigns across that many cities with one central team only works if the ops side is automated. That’s where NQ64’s Access Collins integration comes in. Every creator booking lands in the venue’s diary through Joli, with brief, agreed offer and contact details already attached. Site teams see exactly who’s coming and what’s agreed. No chasing emails, no surprises at the door.

The sync runs both ways. Creators see live availability pulled from NQ64’s Access Collins settings. Approving a booking in Joli writes back instantly. If a venue moves something on their end, Joli picks it up without double entry.

With ops handled, the creative side runs itself. City-specific content flows in, from date-night reels in Glasgow to Mario Kart clips in Manchester. Every city sees NQ64 in its own language.

For a brand opening new sites at pace, less time coordinating each booking means more time opening the next one.
