Our friends at Sweetie Factory provided us with these proper yummy treats our 10 year anniversary recently…
• Artisan chocolates
• Fudge cake lollies
• Iced biscuits
We put them in the claw machine and everyone went nuts for them! (there were no nuts in the making of these treats)
Check them out!
Love the colours for this set out the door for one of our lovely corporate clients.
That's a wrap on my first decade of business, and what a ride it has been!
I try to stay under the radar in the event industry, supporting clients almost in secret - and I am proud to say that all of my business still comes from repeat clients and recommendations and to this day i've never had to spend a penny on marketing.
To celebrate, I hosted a daytime event at Cloud23 with all of my clients, suppliers, friends, and family who have impacted my business and its success since 2013. We had an absolute blast, and I am grateful for everyone who has supported me along the way.
A huge thank you to our suppliers for helping us pull off a daytime celebration in such style...

Today we celebrated ten years of Just Watch Events and we had an absolute ball! We’ll share most of the initial pictures on our Instagram stories so head over and follow us there. We’ll share what we can here too - enjoy the rest of your weekend!
True story!
Who even works 9-5? Most of us work flexibly now, but not everyone will know your personal hours. We’re pretty flexible because working in events is mental!
I’ve updated our email signatures to include each team members working time and also explained that there’s no pressure for anyone to reply to us if it’s out of hours for their working day.
Here’s some useful signature or sign-off ideas for you to use on your email 💻🕤
Let me know if you do anything similar 👍🏼
Unique venue🛩️
Celebratory atmosphere🥂
Quality audio visual 🎤
Interactive DJ 🎧
Photo opportunities 📸🤳🏼
Delivered to a restricted budget 💷
Tick… tick… tick… tick… BOOM! Lol
(I love a 90’s music reference)
Here’s a couple of pics of a recent event produced with just a couple of months notice. I regularly get called upon to support events that need someone to step in and take control.
There’s not always enough resource available when a business asks an internal person or even a team to deliver an event - and there isn’t the budget for an agency approach either, so on occasion I work in “Hybrid Mode” to get an event delivered - this was one of those times.
As always, my go-to AV provision from was drafted in to make the most of the budget that was available.
View the reels to see a walk through of the venue.

Last month we shared ideas on living more sustainably - but then we found out that 60% of journeys between 1-2 miles long in England are made by a motor vehicle!!? 😱
This is your bonus tip... Get off your arses people!! Lets embrace our legs and get walking / cycling / cartwheeling 🚴🏽♀️🤸🏻♂️🚶🏼♀️
Conference in a gift shop anyone? Thinking outside the box always gets the best results!
may not be your traditional venue, but it certainly delivered a great experience for our clients over two days 🐘🦒🦏🐅
It might not survive the wrath of or Sir Killalot, but Maverick here was the brainchild of a team that wanted to win! 🏆 was one of our favourite teambuild activities last year. Fingers crossed it comes out a few more times in 2022🛠
This one surprised us... you can switch banks to make a big impact! 💰 Banks should be doing more than planting one tree per account opened, or producing cards made from recyclable materials.
There are banks that prioritise ethics and the environment in terms of how they invest... check out who also offer small business banking 👍🏼
We love our awards! We’re bored of the plastic tat and medals so we built something better. Who doesn’t want a handmade wooden robot on their desk? 🤖
Are you squeaky clean? This week's tip on living more sustainably is focussed on household cleaning. You have products in your home and office, so being more aware of what’s in them will result in a huge benefit.
Our team is trying to move towards brands that offer refill products, are cruelty free and also plastic free. Our favourite so far is
- let us know what sustainable brands you use so we can check them out.
Did you know one of the single biggest actions you can take to reduce your impact on the earth is reducing your dairy and meat intake? 🍽
But... if your idea of vegetarian food is “Quorn” then you don’t know what you're missing! There have been mind-blowing innovations in foods that mimic meat and our supermarkets have really embraced Veganuary offering excellent options.
If you haven’t eaten out vegan - your homework is to do just that!
Help us with some ideas for dinner tonight... whats your favourite vegetarian or vegan meal?

Lets get a grip together. We're two weeks into 2022 and after forgetting how to use a pen and requesting password reminders for most of our log-ins, its time to get organised! Go back to basics with this pen-to-paper tip.
You're welcome!
Last year wasnt all bad... events WILL be back for 2022! (Fingers crossed)
Has 2022 sparked any new year pledges in you to be more sustainable? 🌱 😇 We'll share some easy steps you can take either as an individual or a business to green your life and live a bit more mindfully. We'll provide tips this month around consumption, better brand choices, sustainable products and more to help you out!
Our first tip is to follow Ethical Consumer Magazine
Have a good’un everyone, whatever you’re doing 🎄🎉
(Sorry we’ve been quiet on here, we have been busy looking after our clients alongside some of our brilliant suppliers)
🚨This is a priority.
How you think, feel and behave is who you are. 🧠 This is mental health and we want to make it easier to talk about 🗣☕️👤
With almost 50% of all stress, depression and anxiety being caused by workload - mental health has never been more important.
Is there a positive mental health culture in your workplace? 🙌🏼
Thanks to Andersson First Aid Training for the session! https://facebook.com/anderssonfirstaidtraining
Some normality may be back next week, but not everyone is excited to be attending events or even their workplace face to face again.
To help things along we have these traffic light system R-PET lanyards and wristbands - made of recycled bottles ♻️
These are a far more sustainbale option to a traditional polyester lanyard or silicone wristband, and they can both be recycled! ♻️
You can order from as little as 100 of each colour, with your own company branding and strapline or with the design in the picture.
Don't forget we can provide the design, print and install of all signage around the office or event location to align with this concept - just let us know what you need!
Which colour are you? 🔴 🟠 🟢
Never underestimate the value of your supplier relationships. They can be the difference in delivering over and above expectations - and not quite hitting the mark.
It’s so close we can smell it!

Thanks to Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and every other video call platform it seems most of us are working all day in a video call bubble, with the line between work and rest disappearing fast. Your probably suffering from the so-called "Zoom Fatigue" just like us, but what can we do? 🆘 For starters you need to activate your body in order to counteract fatigue - so yes, take a break, but don't turn from one screen to another 🤳🏽❌, instead GET OFF YOUR AR$E!!🍑 Take... a... proper... break!⏱ Here's some easy options (also leave your phone alone): 🚶🏽♀️Go for a walk around the block 💃🏽 Stick some music on and dance with your partner, child or pet 🍃Head to the local park even if its just to sit and have a snack 🤸🏼♀️Do any form of exercise for 15 minutes - yoga, breath-work, running, star jumps - it doesn't matter 🔅Change your environment, move yourself to a different location for the rest of the day and set yourself out. Something else you can do is make your interactions as rewarding as possible⭐️. Start video calls with a social discussion - whats worrying you, what's happened that morning, how was your lunch, wheres your dog/cat etc.

We were asked recently how you can show hard working and heavily fatigued staff that the company was truly thankful. One of our suggestions was a totally informal "big night in", with snack packages 🍿 and more sent to everyone, ready for an hour of good old daft fun! 🤪 We're pleased to now be in the midst of helping that client pull everything together 👍🏼🤩
Boxes, boxes, boxes... definitely a trend as events are now mostly virtual! Feel free to give us a shout if you need any tips or support - we're happy to help.
*Virtual Event Tip: Making Awards Evenings Great!* We have lots of great ideas, tips and tricks on this subject - but today’s post is focussed on the winner reveal. You have so many options with this to keep things exciting, aside from the host announcing it. One option is for the reveal to be animated like the one in the clip. Because we’re good like this, here’s some more winner reveal ideas: • Cut to the winner’s camera if possible to get the live reaction 😲 • Use an app such as Cameo to get a celebrity to announce a winner 🦸🏽♂️ • Collect videos from those who have nominated to say why (keep these within 5-10 seconds each)🤳🏼 • Think Postcode Lottery style - go to a live camera/phone which is on site at the winners address with an award to handover, confetti cannons and music 🎉
