Event Benefits Via Tax Efficiency

Our client is a CEO of a small company with ten employees. He always spent his own money on an annual group travel incentive. The trips encouraged staff bonding and helped to keep his annual profit margin. 

The result: We recommended that the client switch from spending his own money. He should use corporate funds. Switching to corporate funds allowed his travel incentives to become a business expense. So, they now qualify for a tax deduction. What’s better than a business owner paying less in corporation tax? They can keep their personal income for other purposes.

2.

A PR company in Philadelphia approached us. They asked us to organise daily packages. The packages must be all-inclusive. They are for 30 of the world’s top cardiologists. This included private dining experiences to hiring private boxes at sporting fixtures.

“The difference is in the results”

THE RESULT was the most memorable time experienced by all 30 delegates. We profiled the delegates. It helped us offer the PR company a designed group package. We based it on what would excite them.

3.

Celebrating Success

The client gave us a shopping list. It has the key elements for their upcoming celebration. 

We arranged the theming. It fits the client’s lavish message. The caterers offered a pre-selection of appetizers. The guests would sit down to a silver service. We also had an MC, sound, and AV ready. The entertainment was set, and we provided a guest valet service. All drinks and meals were pre-selected due to dietary reasons.

Breaking the ice

The Need: A law firm wanted to create a client showcase at their offices. Existing clients would be invited. The client’s aims were for their partners to network and talk with their clients.

THE RESULT
…was attractions that included cheese and wine tasting. They also had a large Scalextric game. The client saw the event as a good way of breaking barriers and obtaining new business.

Call Centre – Time is Money

A call center approached us for help. They wanted to reduce the level of cigarette breaks employees were taking. They would do this by introducing a healthier option that would keep the staff at their desks longer.

“We always welcome an opportunity to assist any HR office”

THE RESULT
We introduced 3 step motivation tool. The first way was to have different masseurs approach the staff while they worked. They would ask if they would like a neck and hand massage to help them de-stress. The second was offering them a selection of fruits. It had apples, pears, and grapes. They could nibble them at their desk. The third was someone going around early afternoon. They had coffee and mints served to them at their desks. The clients felt the operation was a complete success. It reduced staff numbers leaving the building for smoke breaks.

Private Small Group Away Day

THE REQUIREMENT We were asked by an office manager to offer a memorable day away group experience for five amazing employees. The goal was based on fun and communication within the group. It also had to leave a lasting impression.

THE RESULT
We let the five staff within a group think they were attending a corporate event. The event was being celebrated at a restaurant in Paris, except for the manager. The airline check-in desk asked everyone to meet early. Everyone was told not to pack too much luggage. They may return the same day. So we purchased cheap one-way low-cost flight tickets for the group. The focus was on pushing quality and value. This left many wondering if they would be going home by coach. Their return was pre-planned using a hired private jet. Imagine the impact that had, which still is a talking point to this day…

Staff away day package

THE REQUIREMENT The corporate client wanted us to source a catering school and organise a coaching facility for the event. The client was UK-based and required us to handle the logistics behind the whole event. 

THE RESULT We arranged a coach to pick up a group of 30 staff from their office and took them to the pre-designated catering school. The staff was then divided into their groups by coloured neck scarfs that had been provided. The group selection was pre-organised by the client. Team A was responsible for preparing the starters, Team B for the Main course, and Team C for the dessert.  Having chosen an Italian menu, you can probably guess what was created. The beauty was that the group was then treated to a shared creation. Later, we found out that the event was designed as a leaving gift for one of the senior member’s staff.

Well known brands

McKinsey & Company

We were required to organise a team-building event at the Palace Hotel in New York for over 300 McKinsey & Co staff. The event was aimed at establishing the benefits of working together. The overall feedback from the client was that it was enjoyable and created a good break between the serious discussions of the day.

Shell Upstream International BV

EVENT 1 We were required to design a relaxing destress event where the group could have fun communicating with each other away from the serious message of the day. By separating the two, the group was allowed to digest more of what they learned due to the relaxed nature of how we designed the event.

EVENT 2 Required to design a quiz evening for over 1000 guests at the European Space Centre in the Netherlands.

Siemens Information and Communication EOOD

We were asked to design with an overseas conference. We put forward several suggestions of which they chose one. A site inspection was organised where suppliers were introduced. Every aspect of the event was covered and this included all fine details including food allergies, physical tolerance level to activities, any dietary requirements, and most importantly the type of message Siemens wanted to share within its group.

MTV

MTV was hosting an event during the Cannes film festival and asked us to supply and manage some racing simulators that were coin free. These were great icebreakers and had everyone regardless of seniority within the organisation to relax and create a promotional awareness that complemented their brand.

Linkedin Corporation

We were asked to design a group incentive that would help individuals within the organisation come together which in turn help their communication skills amongst each other.

Reuters

We were asked by the Swiss office of Reuters to design a treasure hunt through the streets of Amsterdam. The event involved splitting the group into teams and were asked to travel on foot to solve the clues.

Daily Mail & Mail on Sunday

Our events team managed to create a brand new team-building game that was specially designed for the Daily Mail staff. It was based on newspaper circulations. Importantly, it was about learning and understanding how the paper industry works. It had everyone competing amongst each other which proved to be lots of fun.
