My favourite things about working overseas is meeting fabulous people and experiencing the local cultures.

It was a blessing and a gift to work in Colombia for the first time last week.

One of my favourite ever events in a venue which is out of this world.

We will be back!

Having both Eddie Nash and House of Feasts as part of our event made us the luckiest event agency around. Thanks so much to both for making the weekend so very special!

'Frock it Friday' started as a "bit of banter" between 3 Tyneside friends during lockdown.

Their idea to "glam up" every Friday continues to provide some normality and fun on social media.

Our client was keen to build an event for their employees based on this concept and tomorrow we deliver an exciting immersive experience for colleagues across the UK!

Are you glamming up tomorrow?

Here are a few ways you can use gamification and have a huge impact in event engagement.

* Ice-breakers and networking games
* Gamification through polling
* Interactive Q&A
* Pre-event knowledge sharing

Did anyone see this Drone show in Shanghai last week?

The future of advertising is right here as Chinese video sharing and streaming site, Bilibili used drones to create a QR code above the City's water front.

The QR code appeared following a light show and allowed viewers the opportunity to scan the code taking them to a download page for the game being advertised.

Such a clever way to engage with a captivated audience.

Where do you find inspiration?

We're beyond excited to start the week as we have three new in person event briefs to work on.

It's great to be location finding once again - sourcing the right venue is so key in helping to build the right experience.

Top tip for you all on a Monday - try and think outside the norm when matching a location with an event.

We love the The Warehouse in East London - it used to be a mechanics and is a treasure trove full of vintage props.

The skylight roofing, textured walls and photo-shoot leftovers are all part of the industrial charm.

Today's going to be a good one as we are onsite for a virtual experience content shoot.

We've spent 2 months building the content journey, through fact finding, story boards, scripting and feedback.

And today's the day we bring the story to life for our client.

Who doesn't love the buzz from onsite delivery?!

We've been a little quiet this week as it's been super busy delivering 5 Easter baking workshops for our clients.

It was such a great brief to work on, engaging with remote workforces to reinforce collaboration and team work, with a sprinkling of fun.

5 workshops across 5 days, brought together 120 people (virtually) who haven't been in the same office for over a year.

The result was a recipe of problem solving, idea sharing, creative thinking, communication, delegation and project management to ensure their team were crowned star baker!

How are you ensuring your team stay connected in this remote world? Need help, then reach out to our Story Maker team today!
