Case studies: Events
Examples of delivering a variety of different events.
European Telecom
This event combined a number of activities with a 4 x 4 treasure hunt to create a fun-filled day with some serious team building messages. During the treasure hunt each team had to complete a number of team building exercises such as helicopter rescue, stretcher rescue (over an inflatable course) and 4 x 4 blindfold driving. The day achieved its overall objective of encouraging people to work in teams and creating a strong team spirit.
Unilever
This intimate Christmas party was an elegant affair and took guests away overnight to an award-winning country house hotel. Guests had a chance to try their hand at chocolate making in the afternoon, followed by a murder mystery dinner (fancy-dress props provided) and dancing to a live jazz band.
Sony
On the final day of their annual conference, a Pink Panther themed treasure hunt around Paris was created for employees of Sony's IT division. Teams were assigned cabs with a bilingual driver together with Pink Panther costumes to change into. The teams had to follow clues to find the location of a diamond, helped (or hindered!) by our Inspector Clouseau and his fiendish accomplices! The day ended with a gala dinner, where the team videos were shown and prizes were awarded.
Costa Coffee
Over 400 delegates attended Costa's annual conference for their store managers. Active handled every aspect of the two-day event, including the venue, accommodation, transport, technical logistics and creative design. The highlight was a 'Hollywood' party for which Active transformed the banqueting suite with authentic film props, life-size statues of 'Hollywood' actors, and even their very own 'Walk of Stars'. Active also handled the production of the invitations and onsite brand materials.
Some of these projects were run in partnership with an agency.
