Edinburgh-based 20/20 Productions, the creative communication, digital, film and event production agency, celebrates its 20^th year of producing the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) Annual Conference with biggest event yet.

Taking place in early November 2017 at the iconic Manchester Central Convention Centre, the 70^th Annual CIPD Conference welcomed a record number of over 4,000 delegates this year.

Focusing on the major shifts that are affecting organisations, the HR profession and the world of work at large, the two key themes highlighted during this year’s two-day event were: digitalisation of work and the impact of technology on today’s workforce.

Providing full creative, technical and production services, 20/20 Productions took care of every aspect of the event, from design work to AV, including the use of their own digital signage technology – Smoke Signal – to help communicate with delegates across all eight event spaces.

20/20 Productions utilised new screen-blending and projection mapping technologies, constructed a unique screen of interlocking abstract shapes and used the surfaces to display presentations, camera relay and a bespoke mapped films and presentations.

Speaking about their involvement 20/20 Productions Managing Director said: “We have been working with the CIPD Annual Conference for two decades now, and it has been incredible to work with such a forward-thinking client, and be part of their positive journey.  We have been fortunate that our ideas for developing the event, and keeping it up to date have been well received over many years.

“Working with a client for such a long period of time really showcases how much technology has advanced in the last twenty years, as well as the expectations of delegates in today’s conferences and events.  There is so much more that can be achieved and we are so excited to be involved.”

Sarah Watson, Events and Exhibitions Manager at CIPD Events added: “20/20 Productions have been a valued partner to us over the last 20 years, we are grateful for their technical and creative support in putting together our annual conference.  We have been lucky enough that we have stayed innovative and always delivered a top event for our delegates, and that is in part thanks to 20/20 Productions.”

Edinburgh’s 20/20 Productions, the creative communication, event and digital production agency, has teamed up with Edinburgh Rugby as they embark on a new season.

Using their creative and technical production expertise, 20/20 Productions are supporting the club’s video content, to help further develop their digital channels and the match day experience.

To help drive membership for the Edinburgh Rugby Business Club, 20/20 Productions recently produced a five-minute promotional film that showcases the value of becoming a Business Club member.

The Edinburgh Rugby Business Club provides members with regular opportunities to network and build relationships with like-minded senior business people across the city at every Edinburgh home game.

Ahead of their first home game of the season against Dragons Rugby (Friday 8th September, kick off 7.35pm), 20/20 Productions were also tasked with filming the players’ head shots to be used on the big screen on match days.

Experienced in delivering targeted, effective communications for a wide range of clients to varied audiences, 20/20 Productions have utilised their skills to make the most of this partnership with Edinburgh Rugby.

The partnership will continue throughout the season as the award-winning agency will be responsible for campaign-led video content for the club.

Following a permanent move to a new ground at Myreside, Edinburgh Rugby have also welcomed a new coaching team headed up by three-time English Premiership winning coach Richard Cockerill.

Speaking about the partnership, Edinburgh Rugby Managing Director, Jonny Petrie, commented: “In such an exciting time for the club, it has never been more important to strengthen the relationships we have with our supporters and the Edinburgh business community. With the help of 20/20 Productions that’s exactly what we aim to do.”

Alastair Scott, 20/20 Productions Managing Director added: “There are so many parallels between teamwork in sports and the teamwork required in business, utilising our expert creative minds and passion for rugby we are looking forward to working with Edinburgh for another season.”
