To bring 14,000 colleagues from across the UK together in one shared experience that would connect people to strategy, culture, and each other, while delivering lasting impact.

INSIGHT

As well as delivering business content, it was important to bring the strategy to life in a way that felt relevant, interactive, and rooted in Nationwide’s people-first values. With limited time to pull it off, we needed a bold creative approach and optimised delivery.

SOLUTION

We designed and delivered a five-day strategic employee event that as well as delivering company updates, immersed delegates.

Starting with a welcome from Nationwide’s CEO, colleagues were then free to explore five themed learning zones, each reflecting a different part of the business strategy. From an app-driven live gameshow to slam dunk challenges, a social investment house, and in-the-round presentations, the content was rich and varied.

Across the experience, multi-screen projections and 360-degree stages kept everyone engaged, while discussion sessions and gamified content created space for interaction, exploration, and connection.

And we did it all, proposal to execution, in under two months.
