conferencing

It’s not effective conferences that inspire people. It’s extraordinary ones.

Here at Bray Leino, we create live events the way we create ad campaigns, with strategic thinking built on audience insights, shaped into big ideas. We’ve delivered more than 100 events in the last 18 months alone, engaging groups from 5 to 1000, using every resource from simple graphics to film-making.

Redefining high performance

Our Castrol client came to us to help relaunch its High Performance Industrial Lubricant products to a global audience.

Our response brought together not only 150 Castrol delegates but also, for the first time, 10 key distributors too. We brought them together for a three-day conference in Ascot to explore how Castrol Industrial could ‘outperform the competition’ and double the size of their high performance lubricants business within five years. more

Outdoor (and indoor) adventure

We recently worked on our sixth consecutive Timberland event: the Fall 2012 Brand Meeting. It’s a 5-day meet-up in Portugal for 300 of Timberland’s key distributors.

We created all the sets and stands and dealt with the lighting and AV for the duration, which included opening presentations, opening and closing gala dinners, fashion shows and entertainment. We also designed the branding for the entire event, and dealt with the logistics and transportation of three artic lorries of product and equipment. more

Harbouring a conference

We recently produced a three-day event in Cork which BP Castrol Marine used to focus the business on the immediate future and onwards to 2020.

At the three-day event in Cork (appropriately, the world’s second largest natural harbour), we managed the conference production from start to finish with a creative look and feel which spanned all conference materials and post-conference comms.

This is the way

When our client, Oasis Dental Care, came to us to in May, they gave us a pretty expansive brief for their national conference. They wanted to use the event to engage with their whole team and demonstrate their commitment as an employer. And our remit included every aspect of the conference, from event management through to branding. more

World class

We used the backdrop of the FIFA 2010 World CupTM to bring together 65 of Castrol’s mission-critical global distributors. We delivered Castrol’s Ambassador Club – a huge five-day event in South Africa – during the football tournament.

We created the Club website and the materials to engage the high-end delegates. This included sending invitations, creating delegate books, designing the working sessions, and building sets to organizing the gala dinner. more

Fashioning climate conversations

We worked with Timberland on its conference at Heathrow. To evoke climate change conversations, we created three statues made entirely from recycled cardboard, plastic and cans, highlighting key messages for the client about their environmental credentials.
We also created films: the journey of the boat shoe and a film on recycling. Two large show areas incorporated props and sounds and smells to create the feeling of being on the beach for the boat shoe graphic. In all, a story brought creatively to life.

We also worked with Timberland on a fashion show in Scotland. Set in St Andrews, we built all the set rooms and managed logistics, as well as converting a nearby barn into a stunning venue to hold the show. We got so hands-on at one point the Account Director was helping to dress the models! A piper accompanied guests into the candle-lit barn where a captivating show was put on.

Taking AIME

Castrol asked us to help them with its recent conference for senior leaders from across the aviation, industrial, marine and energy (AIME) businesses.

For this event, we took full control of the conference production, content management, collateral and video editing. We produced videos, breakout sessions, and helped with energizers to help the group work closer together.

Here we go

We were asked by Burtons to help fire up the workforce for a fresh start under ambitious new management.

At an event for c200 of their team at Alton Towers, we created all the core event collateral, including invitations, banners, stage set, films and filmed vox pops.

We helped the client take ideas from their own people – like a ‘Burtons Fortunes’ gameshow – and use them to help delegates embrace the four pillars of the business vision.

From start to finish, we made the conference as interactive as possible, to keep the audience engaged and build momentum through the day.

Brand new day

We worked with Sanofi Pasteur MSD to help them launch the world’s first vaccine against cervical cancer to the entire internal business.

Our challenge was to create an exceptional launch event to follow the campaign that won Patient Information Campaign of the Year.

The launch was to 350 Sanofi Pasteur MSD personnel at the London Metropole Hotel and a Gala Event at the Royal Albert Hall.

On day one, delegates were greeted by potent graphics highlighting the prevalence and consequences of HPV infection. In a twist, we redressed the entire venue overnight, to match the overall concept ‘Welcome to a Brand New Day’.

For the evening Gala Event, M People singer Heather Small performed with a choir of 50 girls, including a song written and recorded at Abbey Road studios specially for the occasion.
