Brief: To provide the support of an expert logistics team to execute ‘Covid catch-up’ graduation days
Event Overview:
We were brought on board as an expert logistics team to execute 2 back-to-back graduation days at The Royal Albert Hall. With 3 ceremonies taking place each day, the usual lead time on this project is 6 months. We delivered it in 2 months. Following this success. we were asked to support on an additional graduation later the same year. As well as executing the event logistics, our team developed an email communications plan that we distributed to 10,000+ graduants.
