What We Did

We created an experience with employee recognition at its heart; delivering a spectacular evening of celebration for over 1,000 guests at London’s iconic Natural History Museum. 

The event titled ‘Midnight at the Oasis - a party under the stars’ was themed around ‘east meets west’, with a subtle nod to the venue’s history. The venue selection reinforced the feeling of recognition, by creating a special one-off experience in a heritage building that is not open to the public after dark. 

Working in collaboration with illustrator Emma Shipley, we designed a bespoke event ID which was then applied across all internal comms materials - from the initial Save the Date, through to event signage, menus, and beyond. This illustrative approach captured the essence of the event beautifully, but most importantly - created a unique look and feel which stood out from day-to-day business communications and enabled us to build anticipation throughout the year. 

Entertainment and activities were programmed across the evening, to encourage people to come together across the business and have fun - supporting the ongoing ambition of breaking down silos within the workplace. Activities included a bedouin bar experience, photo ops, glitter artists, costumiers and palm readers - all complimented with a delicious food and drink experience.

The Result

It was a night to remember - scoring over 95% in employee satisfaction surveys, and recognised by all as an incredible ‘work perk’ that the business has really invested in. The event was the talk of the office, both in the run up and for the months following!

“Thanks for organising this amazing party! It was wonderful to see people in other teams that I haven’t seen for ages, and to bond with so many new colleagues. The Christmas party is a real highlight and one of the things that makes our London office a great place to work!”
