The Peninsula London

In one of our most ambitious projects to date, Beagle Create was honoured to deliver a spectacular event for a leading international financial advisory company at the prestigious Peninsula Hotel in London. This was a bold brief for a bold business.

From securing the venue to executing every detail, our team worked tirelessly to turn the client’s vision into reality. With just three months from concept to completion, a remarkably short timeline for a project of this scale, we rose to the challenge.

The process began with a clear understanding of the client’s brief. We developed concepts, visuals, and ideas that were swiftly approved. Our team handled everything from organising the bar and a dynamic choreographed dance routine for the opening sequence to custom centrepieces and coordinating a show-stopping illusionist performance. This culminated in the CEO appearing magically before the audience – bold, creative, and unforgettable.

From finding the perfect venue to booking the event ballroom and securing accommodations for guests, we ensured every detail was thoughtfully managed to create a truly unforgettable experience. By taking the lead on securing The Peninsula London, we guaranteed a setting that not only aligned with the client’s vision but also reflected the prestige and scale of the event. Every detail was thoughtfully managed, showcasing Beagle Create at its finest.

This event exemplifies what Beagle Create does best: taking a vision and elevating it with creativity, precision, and flawless execution. It was hard work, but the results were worth it. A huge thank you to everyone involved for making this landmark event an extraordinary success.

Micebook Awards Ceremony

We recently had the pleasure of partnering with Micebook, specialists in conferences, events, meetings, and more, for the prestigious Micebook Awards. They approached us for our expertise in delivering exceptional award ceremonies and event coordination, and we were excited to be a part of this exceptional event.

The ceremony took place in June at the luxurious Landmark in London, a truly stunning venue that is celebrating it’s 125th anniversary this year. It was a brilliant showcase of collaboration between our team and Micebook’s show coordinators and producers. Together, we delivered a seamless production featuring back-to-back videos and a beautifully crafted backdrop. The concept and design was rooted in the client’s vision, Beagle Create brought it to life with our creative touch, utilising our products in innovative ways to maximise it’s impact.

This event marks the beginning of a strong partnership between us and Micebook. It was a fantastic opportunity that not only highlighted our capabilities but also gave Beagle Create valuable exposure within the industry.

What’s the Purpose of an Awards Ceremony?

How to Get the Most Out of Your Awards Ceremony

Awards ceremonies are a great way of gathering like-minded people into one area and creating a community to celebrate and acknowledge people in your industry. But how do you ensure that your event is a success?

The secret is memorability. You want your guests to leave exhilarated and elated having experienced an event like no other. This is where our experienced team come in. From impressive stage design to jaw-dropping entertainment, we will work with you to create an unforgettable experience for you and your attendees.

Content is Key

Once the bubbly is flowing and the awards are in full swing, the last thing you want is your guests clock watching or starting their own independent conversations. Using emotive video content alongside the speeches will keep your guests’ attention whilst creating an interesting talking point for the host, not to mention the branding opportunity that the screens would allow for.

Whilst on the subject of branding opportunities…

Whether you are hosting an awards dinner, lunch or even a breakfast, there are a myriad of ways to add your branding throughout. From bespoke lighting projection to a step and repeat press walls; your Production Manager will work with you to ensure you’re making the most of the branding opportunities available.

Location, Location, Location

Selecting the right venue for your awards ceremony is vital. Not only do you need to consider capacity and accessibility, but you’ll need to bear in mind the suppliers associated with the venue. Some venues may work exclusively with some suppliers and others may simply recommend their preferred suppliers.

Conference and Awards Ceremony

Our Client, provide some of the world’s most advanced, technology-led defence, aerospace and security solutions with a skilled workforce of 93,100 people in around 40 countries. They chose Beagle Create to produce their annual leadership conference and the first following some exciting restructuring and acquisitions.

There would be multiple days of presentations with detailed slides and bold videos all closed with an awards ceremony. They wanted something impactful that didn’t give their delegates presentation fatigue and brought this yearly event back with a bang.

Held at The Grove Hotel – London’s Country Estate, we were challenged with transforming the event space so that 200 delegates could all see the slides and video content. We designed a solution which not only delivered uncompromised views for every delegate but cut through the abundance of natural light flooding into the amber suite.

A 22-metre (roughly the length of two London busses) high-res super widescreen LED video wall was installed. It included three straight sections of LED, all linked with curved sections cunningly molded behind the pillars.  Everyone could see everything, with ease – mission accomplished.

Since this event was their 1st business anniversary as the new Digital Intelligence brand, they were open to rethinking the format of their awards evening and Beagle Create offered up an experience of how things might flow better for them and deliver a better experience to their guests.

After a long day and a large meal, we wanted to bring the energy levels up, ready for the awards ceremony so we commissioned a 5-piece LED drumming flashmob to perform. They were not only loud, visually stunning and slightly strange to look at, but interacted with the audience and closed their act to a huge round of applause.

A Night to Remember for a Finance Company

This financial advisory firm is based all over the globe and supports individuals in meeting medium and long-term financial goals.

They came to us with one ambition: give their team the best night of their life!

This included probably one of the best requests we’ve ever had – their CEO wanted to be flown over his guests before landing on stage.

The awards ceremony, held in Grosvenor House Hotel, London, began with an opulent Champagne reception for the 500 guests. This was followed by a seven-course meal with roaming close up entertainers circulating tables. Comedian Jimmy Carr had everyone in histerics (with the occasional ouch) and our opening sequence included a bespoke performance by a ultra-violet aerial hoop act, acrobatics, a stunning dance troop and framed perfectly by a Beagle lighting, laser, special effects & graphics production.

Once the CEO had made his spectacular entrance and presented the awards, the after party got started with performances from Girls International and rugby legend James Haskell Djing with dancing continuing into the early hours.

We were responsible for every detail of the event from booking the talent, lighting, staging, set and providing the LED video screen to organizing custom centrepieces for the tables.

With panto season in full swing, and only two weeks notice, sourcing the required equipment for the flying stunt was challenging – but one we smashed with our awesome partners in crime and leaning on some long term relationships.

What Is a Comfort Monitor and Why You Might Need One

What is a Comfort Monitor?

A Comfort Monitor, sometimes referred to as a confidence monitor, is a single or multiple display that sits within view of the presenter but not the audience, allowing the presenter to keep track of where they are in the presentation without breaking eye contact with the audience. Some presenters like multiple screens with the same or different content on – the next slide is a popular option along with notes. Countdown timers are also a good choice so they can clearly see how long they have left…or have run over!

The purpose of these aids is to give the presenter the tools to deliver a great presentation – we want them focused on their delivery, not concentrating on remembering their slide and whats coming next. They’re a great convenience for people onstage especially presenters who might not be used to presenting or are nervous. When you don’t get ahead of yourself and can link seamlessly to your next slide you deliver a cohesive presentation, one which the audience can follow easily.

 

Why do you need a Comfort Monitor?

Used at events with where presenters have visual content, such as a conferences or award ceremonies, speakers are given comfort and confidence, helping them to look polished. Seeing the next slide allows the presenter to give a seamless flowing presentation. The speaker is able to maintain a connection with the audience through eye contact and body language without breaking the flow of their presentation to check a larger screen behind them for the next cue.

What does a Comfort Monitor look like?

The comfort monitor is private to the speaker and is unseen by the audience due to its neatly finished angled hides and being dressed and finished in the same colours as the stage. Alternatively they can be placed at eye level behind or above the audience. All cables needed are discreetly hidden and risk free.

What other things does Beagle Create offer for presenter comfort?

We offer extensive presenter packages that can include:

  • Professional clickers
  • Auto cues
  • Programmable clocks and countdown timers
  • Lecterns
  • Drinks and hospitality packages

Hybrid Awards Ceremony

This international finance company required a hybrid awards ceremony for hundreds of in-person attendees as well as many more around the world watching via a live stream.

The prestigious event was held at Aqua The Shard, London, an impressive venue that comes with some unique challenges. We overcame them and received one of the best compliments you can hope for in this industry.

This financial company required a hybrid awards ceremony with guests in-person, that would also be streamed to virtual attendees internationally. They wanted something impressive and chose to host it at Aqua The Shard in London.

The client is based abroad and wouldn’t be in the country leading up to the event. After the initial brief we had minimal contact with the client – the logistics, plan and details were in our hands.

We were happy to take on all in-person responsibilities so the planning could go ahead. In their absence we chose the menus, arranged the food tasting with the venue and took care of every detail, down to the flowers and branded bar coasters.

The Shard – although a fantastic venue – did come with its challenges. There is very minimal storage space and limited access to the building. Naturally with such a prestigious venue there were rules to follow. We had tight build times and ‘tools-down’ intervals of four hours. Even the shape of The Shard can be challenging to work with as it isn’t square or symmetrical.
