Before we close the chapter on another decade, we wanted to wish you well for the festive break whatever you're doing (relaxing and stuffing yourself with mince pies hopefully!).

It’s been another fantastic year for Clive & Facebook. We’ve partnered on 120+ different events, across 28 cities in 17 countries, empowering SMEs, women in business & the female talent of tomorrow.

We've continued to offer our global support & challenged clients to step out of their comfort zones, redefining a whole range of event formats.

We created a huge brand festival for GroceryAid, with headliners including Jessie J, Basement Jaxx & Nick Grimshaw - raising over £450,000 for the charity. We're now working on Barcode 2020 which sees the event grow to 4000+ attendees.

We took over a three-story town house for Asahi, creating a journey of brand discovery throughout the historic spaces.

Our incentive travel team visited Vancouver, Whistler, Cannes, Monaco and Mexico.

For new clients such as Dataiku we created a new type of AI Conference & have worked with Twitch to reposition their brand through a series of activations including Cannes Lions & GamesCom.

Here's to another decade of possibilities! 🍾🥳

Merry Christmas from the entire Clive team.

Brand, Creative and Technology are like a tripod, no two are any good without the third. We've experimented with AR, VR and haptics. Could this be the birth of something else? 🤔

And their prototype might not have too much difficulty making the leap to consumer product.

A few months ago, we partnered with dataiku on a new type of AI conference which focuses on real-world uses and hot-topics like bias and fairness from the people who are making AI happen.

Once again, Josh Sundquist has excelled himself all in the name of Halloween!

The Paralympic athlete, motivational speaker, author, comedian (and of course Halloween enthusiast) is inspiring proof that you can achieve anything... And most importantly, have fun doing it. We feel pretty strongly about that. "Serious Fun" is not just our favourite brand value, but also one of our business' founding principles. It's what makes us, Clive.

Happy Halloween from the team 🎃

At the start of the month, Clive returned to help showcase Facebook's four brands through various activations and demonstrations at the world's largest gathering of female technologists in Florida 💃

The Grace Hopper Celebration saw 25,000+ female graduates from 90+ countries come through its doors and is a hive of future talent and empowerment. And we absolutely love it.

It's one of our favourite Facebook projects of the year to be a part of. Post event, we even donated all furniture and décor to local schools in the Florida area.

Now that summer is behind us, is Pride now a distant memory for your business? 🌈🤔

While diversity and all things LGBTQ+ are subjects very close to our hearts here at Clive, there appears to be an increasing concern surrounding the concept of “rainbow washing”; where businesses may be jumping on the bandwagon without making any meaningful change or practicing inclusiveness.

We waited for the hype to die down before we discussed why it's important to be authentic and practice what you preach, every single day.

As Pride and diversity are subjects very close to our hearts here at Clive, we look at the concerns surrounding the concept of “rainbow washing”...
