In 2020, the event went digital due to the COVID pandemic and time for planning the live stream was restricted to 4 weeks. We knew that with increased planning time we would be able to improve many of the elements of the live stream, including the animated elements and virtual set.
The biggest challenge of the event both during 2020 and 2021 was how to take what is normally an in-person event and keep it engaging for the audience.
Hundreds of participants from across Europe joined and we had the challenge of capturing genuine reactions and interviews from the winners.
To manage this process we used 3 full time Zoom Producers, to manage the flow of nominees coming in and out of the live show. They also managed the Zoom rooms with the nominees from all over Europe, pulling them into the show one at a time, every 10-15 seconds.
We were able to build on the success of the 2020 live stream by producing an even better and more polished digital event in 2021.
You all make it incredibly easy for us to trust you with our events as you are such perfectionists and true professionals! Genuinely from me, a huge thank you to all of your team, especially to Fergus for being so brilliant. Couldn’t have done it without you.
