Virtual Awards

Virtual Awards Ceremonies

What happens to your Annual Awards Ceremony during a truly unprecedented global pandemic? Like many other events during 2020, the lavish venue has had to be put on hold or cancelled – and, in some instances, a virtual solution explored in its place.

Whilst many companies who’d been planning on hosting awards events have put their bubbly on ice and postponed the all-important final announcements, many innovative and determined organisers have decided to embrace the opportunity and to go virtual this year.

So what happens during a Virtual Awards Ceremony, and – without the slap-up dinner, late-night disco and bottomless fizz, how are we as event organisers ensuring that people are as engaged, excited and empowered as ever?

Creating The Perfect Online Awards Ceremony

Clean, crisp, innovative and professional event delivery is every bit as important in the virtual landscape as it is in the live space.

• We will work with you to tailor the event timeline to include elements such as a welcome speech (presented live or ‘as live’), professional hosting, a fun interactive element (such as virtual horse-racing / musical bingo/ cocktail mixology etc.), inspiring awards delivery and exciting reveals interlaced with supporting video content for maximum impact.
• In the virtual landscape, there is more onus on delivering sharp professional production flawlessly than ever before. Our expert production team will deliver bespoke tech solutions that allow seamless switching between slides, video content and live feeds throughout your event.
• Our online solutions enable award winners to accept awards live onscreen, make acceptance speeches (if desired) and interact with the host for all to see
• A speech from a CEO or company-exec is a powerful part of the event and a great opportunity to start the evening on a high. We can support with Live or Pre-recorded (‘As-Live’) content delivery either filmed at our studio locations or at a fully produced ‘Presenter Location’
• Let our exceptional creative team support with virtual production and branding to really get your message across and to help ensure a consistent visual look throughout the event

‘New Normal’ Virtual Awards Ceremonies Tips & Ideas

The new online medium does not always adhere to the old rules and here are a few simple ideas that clients have been integrating into their events.

• Maximise on the potential of the virtual space by keeping proceedings short, inspiring and impactful
• Encourage greater employee engagement by hosting your event during (or close to) working hours e.g. 3.30pm – 5.30pm / 4.00pm – 6.00pm
• Say thanks to your team and to their family/ loved ones by inviting them to join in the fun
• Why not go beyond the ‘fourth wall’ and let us help you to reward staff with food and/or beverage hampers, bespoke gifts or even prizes that can be delivered straight to their doorstep ahead of the event.
• Play to the strengths of the online space by combining your awards with fun interactive elements that encourage collaboration and increase engagement as they bring the team together.
