How it's used
This idiom describes a situation where a lot of attention, resources, or people are gathered to create a powerful or overwhelming impression. It is frequently used in the context of marketing campaigns, political movements, or public events to emphasize the scale and impact of the effort. While it sounds formal, it is commonly used in news reports and casual conversation to describe anything that feels larger than life.
Examples
The event they organized was very impressive and attracted many people to watch.
Why is the promotion this time so grand and impressive?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with words describing physical size alone. It specifically refers to the momentum, influence, or public perception created by an action, rather than just the physical dimensions of an object.
