A leading name in financial technology approached us with an exciting brief: to design and execute a celebration for their 10th anniversary. We knew it had to be more than just a run-of-the-mill corporate event. The occasion was an opportunity to align with the company’s employee engagement objectives: cultivating a stronger sense of unity within their workforce.
By crafting an unforgettable, immersive experience, we captured the essence of this client’s people-centric ethos. The result? Every team member emerged from the event feeling refreshed, appreciated, and more connected than ever before.
Drawing on our rich festival background, we envisioned and brought to life an extraordinary event on the idyllic Isle of Wight, transforming the scenic Barton Estate into a vibrant celebration.
Our team curated a one-of-a-kind three-day festival that seamlessly blended elements of wellness, social engagement, nature and entertainment. Embracing the remote location’s questionable phone signal as a conscious choice, we offered guests a true escape from their everyday lives.
The experience kicked off in true style, with guests arriving by hovercraft, setting the tone for a weekend filled with unforgettable moments. Ditching the traditional ‘organised fun’ approach, we encouraged guests to explore and socialise at their leisure, in line with our client’s vision for a laid-back atmosphere that catered to a diverse range of interests. From rejuvenating wellness zones featuring yoga and breathwork sessions to fire-cooking dinners and food trucks, every detail was thoughtfully crafted. Central to the festival’s energy was a custom-built pub serving as a bustling social focal point, complemented by live music, DJ sets, and a woodland rave. Watersports and adventure activities kept the excitement levels high, offering moments of both adrenaline and camaraderie.
More than just a celebration, this bespoke festival was meticulously designed to honour our client’s accomplishments while fostering a deeper sense of community among their expanding team.
