To create a Summer 'Thank You' party for TalkTalk Employees with
around 700 attendees drawn from all levels from the TalkTalk Group,
from board members to call centre agents. Ages 21-55.
The event had to be held at the TalkTalk head office in
Shepherds Bush at the end of July, and the events agency that
pitched successfully would be required to manage all aspects of the
project including theming, graphics, production, catering and
staffing all within a £23k budget.
On a beautiful summers day there really is nothing better than
grabbing a bucket and spade and heading down to the seaside. The
Great British Summer is here, and with it donkey rides, pier
games, fish and chips, deckchairs, ice cream, sticks of rock, and
(because we're British) a nice cold drink or two. The TalkTalk
brand is all about colour, fun and quality, and nothing says that
better than a traditional day at the seaside, spiced up with a
modern twist and a good old fashioned party, so that is exactly
what we proposed.
We applied the theming to the main recreational space in the TT
office, and also transformed the offices outside area with deck
chairs, traditional windbreaks, sand pits, Victorian games,
bunting, ice cream, a bouncy castle and fish and chips.
The TalkTalk staff were treated to a great fish and chip supper,
some great music (from both a DJ and a traditionally themed swing
band) and had a great time with the Victorian games. And
importantly they saw their canteen area in a whole new light -
transformed to give the wow factor and leave the employees in no
doubt that they are appreciated!
