Microsoft Gleam
To create a hybrid event to celebrate Microsoft’s LGBTQ+ employee community and their allies.
Solution
We designed, curated and produced a globally livestreamed event, managing every aspect of the delivery, including producing the script, the run of show and all tech, to ensure seamless production. Working with our in-house Community and Partnerships Manager, we also curated a talent list to support the LGBTQ+ creative community.
At the IRL event, we treated a small number of guests to a series of activities including Disco Bingo, with the iconic Ginny Lemon making an appearance as the show’s host supported by a comedy set by Suzi Ruffell.
The set was inspired by the glitz and glamour of live TV and was designed with Ginny in mind complete with mirror balls and shimmering stage curtains. The shows graphics were designed by our inhouse team to reflect the style of the big 90s TV shows of past Saturday nights, when live TV was at its peak.
To prepare attendees for the event, we designed and collated bespoke gifting packs to be shipped globally. Working with Scotty Gillespie, he designed bespoke ‘You Are Seen’ poster prints, pin badges and mugs which were complemented by bags of ground Queer Coffee Co to be enjoyed at home.
