Online awards ceremony keeps people in touch during lockdown

Consulting

Background

A staff awards ceremony was a feature occasion in the annual calendar of our client, a large care home group.
With COVID restrictions fully in place, they were unable to hold their usual hotel-based event and were seeking an alternative solution.
They were keen that homes across the group could still enjoy a shared experience in some way.

Having consulted with home managers and the senior management team, we proposed an online event with a live broadcast across all group homes.
Individual home video feeds were required, along with a master feed for the compere and for introductory award graphics.
We created the relevant links with each home, prepared a script, and detailed video intro graphics for each award.
We ran the entire event from two remote locations, delivering a seamless ceremony for staff and residents watching the feed in each home.

At a fraction of the cost of an in-person event, we delivered a ceremony that brought homes together across the West Midlands area.
The two-hour event was enjoyed by over 200 staff and 400 residents.
The ceremony provided a vital boost to staff and resident morale during a difficult time for homes.
The entire event was recorded and could be shown on demand to those who couldn't take part on the day.
