The Glasgow2014 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee commissioned Speakeasy to design and produce a series of events to launch the training process for the ‘Games Workforce’ – a group of around 16,000 volunteers, contractors and paid staff.
We designed a high energy, fast-paced programme based on a Saturday night ‘live TV’ format mixing theatre, audience interaction, comedy, pre-recoded inserts and a high energy fashion show where a team of ‘Clyde-siders’ unveiled the volunteer uniform for the first time.
Speakeasy produced a series of short, memorable films, including a tour of all 15 games venues, fronted by Welsh Commonwealth Sprinting Champion and TV sports correspondent Iwan Thomas.
Our programme spanned four events over two days, with audiences of around 4,000 at each show. Speakeasy worked closely with Police Scotland and Transport Scotland to co-ordinate logistics including security bag searches, individual registrations, badging and the distribution of training packs.
So impressed by your creativity, tenacity and professionalism throughout the project – please pass on my thanks and congratulations to the team.
