To make sure that happens, we’ve mapped out a few options to get the blood flowing and heart pumping before you get down to business. Perfect for bringing the team together and revving those at-home engines before a day of webinars or presentations.
POUR O’CLOCK - in a box! We’ve all had our fair share of these over the past few months (or at least we hope you have!), so if you want to stand out you have to amp things up. We’re shipping out the necessary accessories for a successful "Pour O'Clock". The boxes come complete with a bottle of champers, bag of yummy crisps and even a BINGO board to get everyone involved. Party time! Excellent! MAGIC! We’ve got the amazing Thomas Dixon joining next week’s Marketing Team event to dazzle and astound- all over Zoom! As the grand finale of a two-day marketing team summit, we wanted to be sure that we can engage the 60 attendees and even have the opportunity for their kids to get involved!

You can expect more where that came from in the next few weeks. We've got quite a few tricks up our sleeve to support large scale events and summits so if you like the photo at the top of this post, you'll LOVE our next announcement! WATCH THIS SPACE!

After producing new strategies and workflows for different event briefs so far, we’re continuing to work hard to expand upon our skills to adapt to this new way of managing events.
The AP&C Team as a whole have been working hard to assist each other across departments – many of which have seen an increase in demand in this unforeseen climate. Now more than ever we have banded together (whilst apart) to share roles, ideas and skills to adapt the business to this new situation. This experience has been an incredible exercise in teamwork and interdepartmental cohesion!
