UKREiiF - Pailion support

Introduction

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is a region with exceptional potential – rich in innovation, thriving business clusters, world-class universities, and ambitious plans for sustainable growth. With a newly appointed Mayor at the helm, the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) attended UKREiiF 2025 with a clear purpose: to showcase the region’s investment opportunities, forge new partnerships, and signal a bold new chapter of leadership.

To achieve this, CPCA partnered with Infrastructure Matters and TeamBA to deliver a dynamic, high-impact pavilion that would serve as a central hub for networking, events, and strategic conversations throughout the three-day conference.

The
Vision

The vision for UKREiiF was clear from the outset: create a welcoming, professional and high quality pavilion that could host high-profile panels and presentations while reflecting the energy and ambition of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

This was also the first opportunity for the new Mayor to publicly represent the region and position himself as a strong, visible champion for investment and innovation. It was essential that the pavilion not only supported a smooth event experience but also showcased the very best of what the region has to offer – from infrastructure and connectivity to culture and quality of life.

The
Journey

The journey to delivering a successful presence at UKREiiF 2025 began several months before the event. Infrastructure Matters worked closely with the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority to identify the key messages and themes they wanted to communicate to potential investors and stakeholders. These insights shaped a compelling agenda of events, carefully curated to highlight the region’s strengths and future ambitions.

Infrastructure Matters then led the development of this agenda, securing and inviting expert speakers for each panel, managing all pre-event planning, and ensuring speakers were fully briefed. In parallel, they coordinated a schedule of strategic meetings for the Combined Authority’s senior leaders, enabling targeted engagement throughout the event.

At the same time, TeamBA were brought in to transform the pavilion space into an engaging and functional environment. After being briefed on how the space would be used, the TeamBA team developed a design concept that balanced style with practicality. They produced and installed a large printed feature wall that communicated the Combined Authority’s core objectives and vision. Comfortable, flexible furniture was installed to accommodate networking and panel sessions, while a professional audiovisual setup was integrated to support seamless presentations and discussions.

TeamBA also designed and produced all printed and digital materials for the pavilion and oversaw the delivery of the event on-site, capturing key moments through photography and videography. During UKREiiF, both Infrastructure Matters and TeamBA worked in close coordination to ensure that the pavilion remained well-managed, welcoming, and ready for each event and meeting. Their collaborative approach allowed the client team to remain focused on engaging with stakeholders and making the most of every opportunity presented by the event.

The
Impact

The result was a vibrant and well-executed presence at UKREiiF 2025 that put Cambridgeshire and Peterborough firmly on the map.

Over the course of the event, the pavilion hosted packed-out panels, welcomed hundreds of attendees, and facilitated dozens of strategic meetings. The new Mayor was able to make a confident debut as a regional ambassador, and the CPCA team came away with a wealth of new contacts, fresh investment leads, and a renewed sense of momentum.

Together, Infrastructure Matters and TeamBA helped ensure that Cambridgeshire and Peterborough didn’t just attend UKREiiF – they made a statement.

Introduction

London Northwestern and West Midlands Railways is a train operating company that provides passenger rail services across the West Midlands and beyond.

The
Vision

London Northwestern Railway (LNR) wanted to celebrate the arrival of their brand-new Class 730 fleet with an unforgettable launch experience. The goal was to bring their brand to life in a high-impact way that would excite stakeholders and showcase the innovation and comfort of the new trains.

The theme for the event was “Our family is growing”, reflecting LNR’s ongoing investment in expanding and modernising their fleet. BA Events was appointed to deliver a launch moment that would communicate this message clearly while providing a memorable guest experience in one of the UK’s busiest stations.

The
Journey

Working closely with the client and Network Rail, we began with a site visit to Platform 16 at London Euston. We conducted a thorough risk assessment to ensure the event could be delivered safely and smoothly within a live operational environment.

Our production team led the print and installation of all branded materials, ensuring the “Our family is growing” theme was front and centre throughout the space. This included a striking 11-metre branded wall, a 4-metre stage backdrop, and additional graphics creatively wrapped around key pillars on the platform.

We installed a professional stage and PA system which played a central role in setting the atmosphere. Guests were welcomed with a live musical performance from The Greatest Showman, immediately immersing them in a joyful and theatrical environment. The Managing Director of LNR then took to the stage to officially introduce the new 730 fleet to invited guests.

Following the platform experience, attendees boarded the new trains for a short preview journey. Onboard, the celebration continued with further live performances, opportunities to win prizes for Merlin attractions, and a selection of indulgent dessert treats – all designed to reflect the excitement of the fleet’s arrival and reward guests with a fun, engaging experience.

The
Impact

The 730 fleet launch at London Euston was a resounding success – a powerful blend of performance, brand storytelling, and immersive experience. The “Our family is growing” message was brought to life across every touchpoint, from printed graphics to the tone of the entertainment.

The event showcased the new trains in a vibrant and memorable way, delivering a strong sense of progress and pride for LNR and its guests. To capture the moment, we produced a high-energy highlights video which was shared on social media, generating excellent engagement and reinforcing the campaign’s message to a wider audience.

This event proved that even within a complex operational setting like Euston Station, it’s possible to create something showstopping — turning a platform into a stage and a journey into a celebration.

A little look at the event

A few words from our client

Running a major launch event at a national railway station was a huge undertaking but the team at BA Events made the process easy. From our initial scoping meeting to site visits through to the execution of the event, we know that TeamBA have everything under control. With their fast and flexible approach, TeamBA have a “can-do” attitude which translated into an event our staff and stakeholders will remember for a long time. With their professional, approachable manner, our team and TeamBA worked together as one to deliver a memorable, successful event and we are already looking forward to collaborating on future projects together.

More about the activation

The
Vision

West Midlands Trains (WMT) launched their Destination Liverpool campaign to place Liverpool’s iconic docks at the heart of travellers’ plans. The campaign engaged the public in key shopping centres over three weekends, providing a series of interactive and lively experiences designed to showcase the ease and benefits of rail travel. With TeamBA’s proven expertise and experience, WMT placed their trust in us to bring this vibrant campaign to life.

The
Journey

Location Coordination

TeamBA handled the logistics of the event from inception to completion. We liaised directly with shopping centres to secure ideal locations for the activations, managing every aspect of the event, including setup and takedown. Using a publicly accessible venue like a shopping centre presented distinct challenges due to the unpredictable nature of such locations. However, we navigated these uncertainties with careful management and adaptability, ensuring a seamless experience. We also ensured smooth transitions between locations, guaranteeing the campaign was delivered efficiently across all three weekends. Our ability to coordinate all venue requirements and manage the logistics allowed WMT to focus on customer interaction without concerns about operational details.

On-Site Activation Management

Our team meticulously planned and executed engaging, interactive brand activations, which were central to the campaign’s success. One of the standout features was the popular spin-the-wheel giveaway, which generated excitement and drew large crowds to the activation zones. We worked hard to ensure that each activation was lively, fun, and aligned with WMT’s Destination Liverpool campaign, fostering a memorable experience for participants while highlighting the ease of travel to Liverpool.

Public Engagement and Brand Representation

To ensure the campaign resonated with the public, TeamBA provided a dynamic and professional team that worked seamlessly alongside WMT’s staff. Our role was to maintain a high level of enthusiasm and interaction, ensuring that visitors remained engaged and excited throughout each activation. By representing WMT in a consistent and approachable manner, we helped foster positive connections with the public, reinforcing the brand’s values and leaving a lasting, memorable impression. Our Videographer was also present to film the activation in action and conduct interviews with the client, creating an exciting and celebratory summary video that could be shared across social media and internal channels.

Event Set-up and Logistics

We took charge of the event’s setup and logistics, arriving the evening before each activation to prepare the activation. Our team ensured that all elements were in place before the public arrived, from the activation zones to the promotional materials. Once the events wrapped up, we also managed the pack-down process, ensuring smooth transitions between the three shopping centres and maintaining a high level of organisation throughout.

The
Impact

The Destination Liverpool campaign successfully raised awareness of Liverpool as a travel destination, engaging thousands of potential passengers through interactive, memorable activations. TeamBA’s expertise in managing logistics, delivering engaging activations, and representing the brand in a professional manner allowed WMT to focus entirely on customer engagement.

Our involvement ensured that the campaign was delivered with energy and consistency, helping reinforce WMT’s brand values and create a positive, lasting impression with the public. The multiplication, multi-weekend format helped extend the campaign’s reach and ensure that WMT’s message was shared far and wide, maximising the promotional impact of the campaign.

More about the event

The
Vision

Bringing together Community Rail Network, Community Rail Partnerships, and Avanti leadership, the Avanti Community Rail Conference was designed to inform, inspire, and strengthen relationships across the sector.

In partnership with Avanti, TeamBA played a pivotal role in selecting a venue central to the local community. Rather than choosing a conventional corporate setting, we focused on bringing a community-driven venue to life, ensuring the space mirrored the event’s purpose and values. Central to the event was Railway 200, a celebration of 200 years of rail in 2025. Through engaging speakers, collaborative discussions, and valuable networking opportunities, the conference provided a platform for meaningful conversations and industry connections.

The
Journey

Seamless Event Delivery

Appointed to manage the complete event, TeamBA ensured a smooth and professional conference experience. From planning to execution, we took care of every logistical detail, allowing Avanti to focus on fostering meaningful engagement opportunities with community and rail representatives.

Enhancing the Attendee Experience

By designing and managing the event registration webpage, TeamBA handled all event communications, including email campaigns to monitor registrations and follow-ups on behalf of Avanti. Engaging the audience ahead of the event, we built anticipation in the lead-up, strengthening the final experience with an engaged and primed audience at the event.

Venue Logistics and Speaker Coordination

Managing all aspects of the event space, we created a well organised and welcoming environment. We also coordinated speaker logistics, collecting and compiling presentations in advance to ensure a smooth, professional flow throughout the day. The result was an event that was polished, engaging, and designed to encourage productive discussions.

Audiovisual Production and Event Hosting

From staging to sound and visuals, we provided and managed all AV requirements to create a high-quality event experience. Our designers also contributed by creating the event slides in the Avanti brand, ensuring visual consistency throughout the day.

Our team member, Ben Dalton, hosted the conference, keeping discussions on track and the audience engaged, while our team managed all event logistics, AV production, and delegate support. Additionally, our videographer, Mike was on hand, capturing photographs throughout the event for the client to share both internally and on social media, further amplifying the event’s impact.

The
Impact

The Avanti Community Rail Conference was a resounding success, achieving its goal of fostering collaboration and inspiring action within the rail sector. With seamless execution from TeamBA, the event facilitated rich discussions and deepened relationships among key stakeholders. Attendees left with a stronger sense of community and purpose, with many expressing how the event reinvigorated their commitment to the sector’s shared goals. By carefully managing every detail, TeamBA ensured the event was not only professional but also impactful, contributing to a lasting impression on the participants.

A few words from our client

I reached out to TeamBA as I initially required AV support for a stakeholder conference but after meeting Luke and his team, I felt complete confidence to hand the management of the event over to the team.  They took care of everything from venue sourcing to sending out the invites, managing RSVPs, being on hand on the day to support with the meet and greets, hosting, and so much more!  Working with TeamBA was a pleasure, I felt I was working with close colleagues, not representatives from an external company. The pace of organising the event was fast paced yet felt relaxed.  The service I received from all the team working on my event was outstanding and I would 100% recommend their service to others who are looking for a company that will deliver results for you.

More about the event

The
Vision

Coach Hire Comparison came to TeamBA with a bold idea: to bring the coach industry together for the first time under one roof, for a day of open conversation, innovation, and collaboration. They envisioned an event that would challenge the status quo, spotlight the latest technologies and trends, and create a shared space where all parts of the industry could connect — from operators and manufacturers to compliance experts and technology providers.

They didn’t want just another trade show — they wanted The Big Coach Conversation, an industry-defining moment that would position them as thought leaders and changemakers. And to bring this vision to life, they needed a creative partner who could handle every element of delivery — from concept to execution.

The
Journey

From the outset, TeamBA partnered with Coach Hire Comparison to shape and build the identity of the event. We started by developing a distinctive and memorable brand for The Big Coach Conversation — one that felt fresh, future-focused and accessible to every corner of the industry. This included naming, visual identity, and a suite of branded assets designed for both digital and print.

As the event plan evolved, we worked hand-in-hand with the client to craft a compelling and practical event structure. There was an inspiring line-up of speakers and panellists from across the sector, creating sessions that sparked genuine dialogue and gave attendees space to challenge industry norms, exchange ideas and collaborate on solutions to shared challenges.

TeamBA managed every aspect of event production, including venue sourcing, delegate registration, sponsor coordination and on-the-day logistics. Our team delivered a full audio-visual package — from staging and lighting design to seamless show-calling and tech support — ensuring a smooth and professional experience for both presenters and audience members.

A key part of the day was The Beyond Awards, a celebratory element we helped shape and deliver in collaboration with the Coach Hire Comparison team. Designed to celebrate outstanding achievements across the coach industry, we supported every step — from award category creation and nomination logistics to staging, scripting and AV production. The awards added a heartwarming and memorable close to the day, leaving guests inspired and recognised.

The
Impact

The Big Coach Conversation exceeded expectations and set a new benchmark for industry events in the coach sector. As the first and only dedicated gathering of its kind, it brought together a diverse mix of attendees — from family-run operators to major manufacturers — all unified by a desire to move the industry forward.

The branding and experience design gave the event a distinctive identity that resonated with guests and set the tone for future editions. The content was praised for being relevant, challenging and energising, while the quality of production and smooth delivery ensured a professional and impactful experience for all involved.

For Coach Hire Comparison, The Big Coach Conversation wasn’t just a successful event — it was a platform that elevated their brand, positioned them as a leader in industry innovation, and showcased their commitment to positive change.

For BA Events, it was another example of how we bring ambitious ideas to life — through creative partnership, strategic planning and flawless execution.

A few words from our client

From initial concept through to execution and everything in between, BA Events have been brilliant to work with and made the whole process seamless. Their planning is meticulous which made the day itself more than what we could have hoped for. As daunting as it may seem to hold a big event with over 200 people due to attend, BA Events have got everything under control and guide you to create a day better than you ever imagine. We got to know each other and had catch ups every week, they are both a professional and friendly team and got to know of our business inside out, they felt like a huge part of our team and it’s a successful partnership that we will take forward, collaborating together for future events.

The
Vision

The Community Rail Awards are held annually to recognise the outstanding work of community rail partnerships and station adoption groups across the UK.

2025 marked a special milestone – the 20th anniversary of the Awards. CRN wanted this year’s event to be bigger, bolder, and more unforgettable than ever before. That’s where TeamBA came in.

The
Journey

Right from the start, TeamBA worked closely with CRN to reimagine the visual identity of the event. We created a refreshed logo and a full suite of brand assets to celebrate the landmark year.

To elevate the experience further, we produced a series of 90 on-brand animated graphics, designed to be showcased throughout the evening, adding energy, polish, and cohesion to the event’s atmosphere.

Our design process

From an AV production perspective, we played a key role in delivering a seamless and impactful live experience. Video assets were loaded into a custom-built Resolume file, enabling precise, real-time triggering of each animation throughout the show. We designed and executed an inspiring lighting display that was both atmospheric and dynamic, enhancing key moments and setting the tone for the evening. In addition, we managed all aspects of the night’s audio to ensure clear, professional sound for presenters, award announcements, and entertainment.

Our production behind the scenes

The
Impact

Our branding brought the 20th anniversary to life with a bold, recognisable identity. Used across social media, video content, and printed materials, the refreshed look and feel helped create a memorable, unified experience that celebrated two decades of community-driven success.

On the night, the seamless integration of lighting, sound, and video brought the event to a whole new level. The dynamic AV production helped maintain energy, amplify key moments, and immerse guests in the story of community rail—making it a 20th anniversary to remember.

Amplifying the event through video

A few words from our client

We engaged TeamBA as our dedicated technical management and production team for our 20th anniversary Community Rail Awards, which were held in Newcastle Civic Centre in March 2025.

From the outset, the team, led by Luke Bodin, were professional, accommodating and went above and beyond to support us and to ensure that we delivered an exceptional event, which we absolutely did!  TeamBA’s management of the event production on the day was exceptional, and we have already secured their services for our 2026 Awards in the Midlands.

Luke leads from the front, he is a positive, consummate professional, with a brilliant eye for detail. His priority is to provide the client with top quality service, and that ethos runs through the whole team, along with that wonderful positive attitude.

We worked especially closely with Libby, who created a suite of video slides of the quality you might see at more international style Awards, and even through multiple amendment cycles, she was always patient and professional. Nothing was too much trouble, and that really is the attitude of everyone in TeamBA. It is a real pleasure working with them, and I suspect, we’ll continue to do so for years to come. On behalf of all of us at Community Rail Network, I can honestly say that we love working with TeamBA and without any hesitation, we highly recommend their services!

Grand Railway Collaboration Away Day

Project Introduction

The GRC Away Day was a highly anticipated event, where rail industry professionals from across the West Midlands united to share, innovate, and shape the future of customer service excellence. Over the years, attendees have described it as a transformative experience, igniting excitement for the possibilities within the rail industry. From fostering collaboration to celebrating individual and collective achievements, this event is a testament to the wealth of talent and dedication across the rail industry.

Services:

Design / Event Management / Film / Marketing / Photography / Website

A little look into the project

The
Vision

The GRC Away Day event aimed to bring together key stakeholders from various train operating companies as well as other stakeholders such as Network Rail to discuss pressing industry issues, share best practices, and foster collaboration.

The goal was to create a memorable and engaging experience that would not only inform but also inspire the delegates. TeamBA, as an events and media company, envisioned an event that was meticulously planned and executed, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

Our mission was to manage every aspect of the event, from initial invitations to post-event follow-ups, thereby allowing the GRC team to focus on their core objectives without worrying about the logistics.

The
Journey

Planning and Preparation

TeamBA’s involvement began with the conceptualisation phase, where we collaborated closely with the GRC team to understand their goals and expectations. Our Graphic Designer, Libby, played a crucial role in creating a cohesive and appealing visual identity for the event. She designed a ‘golden ticket’ invitation, which was sent out to all delegates, setting the tone for an exclusive and exciting event. Additionally, she built a comprehensive landing page that included all necessary information about the event, pictures from previous years, and a link for sign-ups.

Event Management

As delegates signed up, we managed all email communications, including confirmations and follow-ups, ensuring that attendees were well-informed and engaged. Our team also handled the venue logistics, ensuring that all necessary arrangements were in place for a smooth event day. We designed a consistent and professional slide deck that aligned with the GRC’s branding, which was used throughout the event.

Multimedia and Engagement

Our Videographer, Mike, created a captivating film that was showcased during the event. This film included interviews with key individuals discussing the GRC’s impact and their expectations for the Away Day. It served as an engaging film that set the stage for one of the day’s main themes. Additionally, Mike was present to capture the event, including a group picture and various moments throughout the day. This footage was later used to create an impactful summary video, encapsulating the highlights and key takeaways of the event.

On-the-Day Coordination

On the day of the event, we managed the registration of delegates and ensured that the audiovisual (AV) setup was flawless. Our in-house host, Ben, played a pivotal role in organising and moderating the panel discussions with Managing Directors from different TOCs. His energetic and professional demeanour kept the event on track and maintained high energy levels throughout the day.

The
Impact

The GRC Away Day was a resounding success, thanks to the creativity, meticulous planning, and execution by TeamBA. The seamless coordination and engaging multimedia elements left a lasting impression on the delegates.

The feedback from the GRC team and the attendees was overwhelmingly positive.

The end-to-end management by TeamBA not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations, resulting in a highly satisfied client and a blueprint for future successful events.

What our client said about us

I have to say, every step of the way, they’ve been with me. All of the support from the media, the creation, making sure our agenda was flowing, on-day support, running the event. I feel like I’ve had so much support from the beginning to the end of the event which has just been amazing.

The Great Transport Debate

Introduction

CMAC are experts in ground travel solutions. They support clients with planned or emergency passenger transport and accommodation, making it simple for businesses to move people safely and efficiently. CMAC wanted to deliver an event bringing together all modes of transport into one room to ultimately discuss what can be done to improve the experience for customers.

Services:

Audio Visuals / Design / Event Management / Film / Marketing / Photography / Website

The
Vision

The Great Transport Debate emerged from a gap in the transport industry – a lack of collaborative events that unite all modes of transport under one roof. CMAC recognised this opportunity and sought to create a groundbreaking event – a live debate among transport industry leaders. They turned to TeamBA to make this vision into reality. The challenge was twofold; firstly, there was no existing event that brought together diverse segments of the transport industry. Second, launching such an event required comprehensive planning, coordination, and execution.

The
Journey

The first step was defining clear objectives for the event. The event was aptly named “The Great Transport Debate.” We were responsible for creating the event brand that was bold, recognisable, and captured the interest of the audience.

To set the stage for a unique and engaging experience, the decision was made to hold the event at the Concorde Hangar at Manchester Airport. The venue combines a rich history with ongoing transport investment. The venue is grand and breathtaking, and moreover, debating under the legendary Concorde was truly inspiring. To make the event unforgettable, tours of the iconic Concorde and a selection of street food were incorporated.

An e-commerce event website was developed to facilitate ticket sales and promote the event’s themes, speakers and panel debates. This platform was made simple for attendees to buy tickets for the event and also allowed us to create discount codes for sponsors and VIPs.

TeamBA collaborated with CMAC’s marketing team to create a range of resources to market the event. This included videos, personalised social media posts for speakers and sponsors, and printed artwork for our media partner Passenger Transport Magazine.

The event included speeches from carefully selected speakers and panel sessions. We prepared briefing packs and calls for speakers and panellists, ensuring they were well-prepared.

There were ten organisations that supported The Great Transport Debate in various capacities, from core event sponsorship to exhibition. TeamBA ensured sponsors had all the information they needed to maximise their sponsorship investment. This included planning the exhibition area onto a floorplan and ensuring a smooth set-up of the exhibition area on the day.

TeamBA crafted the script for the event’s hosts and curated the walk-up music, designed slides in the event brand and enhanced the event’s overall impact.

An experienced event delivery team managed various aspects, from guest check-in to venue management and event production. We handled AV including lighting the Concorde aircraft, live camera feeds and audio management in an acoustically challenging airport hangar environment.

Post-event, we continued to support CMAC by providing event photos for PR, a post-event summary video and a series of “snippet videos” that were produced to highlight key moments of the event.

The
Impact

The Great Transport Debate became a pioneering event, uniting the diverse modes of the transport industry and delivering a memorable experience. TeamBA played a pivotal role in the event’s success, from planning and execution to post-event amplification. This case study showcases our commitment to making unique ideas come to life. We are your partners in creating remarkable events.

Client feedback

From the outset, their dedication to understanding our company and the purpose of our event was exceptional. They took the time to delve into our brand ethos and event goals, ensuring every aspect of the event aligned seamlessly with our vision.

Throughout the entire process, there was always a dedicated member of their team available for us to contact. Their responsiveness and attentiveness to our needs were unparalleled, providing us with a sense of support and reassurance at every step.

Moreover, the BA Events played a pivotal role in equipping us with the resources needed to effectively market the event. Their collaborative approach and focus on increasing attendee numbers significantly contributed to the success of our event.

On the day of the event, their meticulous planning and coordination ensured everything ran smoothly. From logistics to execution, their team’s expertise was evident, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the day knowing that every detail was being taken care of.

Overall, working with TeamBA was an absolute pleasure, and I cannot recommend them highly enough for their professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication to delivering exceptional results.

Garage Awards

Introduction

We were asked by WhoCanFixMyCar to support with the event management of their annual industry awards event. The WhoCanFixMyCar Garage Awards brings together the best mechanics from all over the UK and the biggest names in the automotive industry. The 2022 awards were held at the Holte Suite, Aston Villa Football Club in Birmingham.

Services:

Design / Event Management / Film / Marketing / Photography / Website

The
Challenge

The Garage Awards are a key event and significant yearly milestone for WhoCanFixMyCar (WCFMC). The event is an important way for our client to give back to their network of Garages, celebrate success with their partners and build their brand.

However, the awards, like all events, takes a significant amount of staff time and resource to deliver. TeamBA were asked by the client to use their experience and knowledge:

1. To create a new look and feel for the awards, working within the strong WhoCanFixMyCar brand identity

2. To project manage the event, working with the internal client team and coordinating all event suppliers

3. To ensure the smooth delivery of the event on the night – allowing the client team to enjoy the evening

The
Solution

This was the first time TeamBA had worked with WCFMC so our first step was doing our research into their business, their existing brand, the automotive industry and the image they wanted the event to reflect.

We presented a new brand for the event. This brand was kept very close in line with their existing brand and using many of their key brand elements in the styling.

The creation of the brand also led to the creation of a new trophy. We created a trophy that looked heavy (and it was heavy too!), the finish needed to be metallic, and it was important that the trophy was unmissable no matter where the winner positioned it on the shelf.

A key element to any awards ceremony is making it easy for people to find information before the event, buy a ticket and promote the sponsors for the event.

We designed and developed the WhoCanFixMyCar Garage Awards website. The website contained all the information about the event, details of all categories, sponsors and integrated with our client’s payment portal to purchase a ticket.

We also utilised the website on the night to allow delegates to scan a QR code and find their table.

We drove traffic to the website through an agreed marketing plan with our client. This included creating new stories about the event such as announcing the venue, the award categories, launching the new brand and website, revealing the host and promoting the sponsors.

We also created social media assets for each of the sponsors allowing them to promote the event to their audiences.

We took care of event logistics such as designing and briefing staging suppliers, producing the show-run for the evening, creating the music playlist, briefing the event host Matt Dawson, creating name plates with guest food options and leading venue management.

On the night TeamBA took care of all event delivery – ensuring the right people were in the right place at the right time. This allowed the WhoCanFixMyCar team to have an enjoyable evening – focusing on building relationships with their clients, suppliers and industry partners.

The
Results

The event was a huge success – a lot of work was put in by TeamBA and WhoCanFixMyCar to create a blueprint for future events.

The feedback from winners, sponsors and attendees was all positive with them all having an enjoyable evening. The venue looked incredible on the night – the brand was applied consistently across every touchpoint and the production was slick.
