EY’s Innovation Realized is an annual event for select C-suite executives across a range of industries. It’s an immersive experience that allows executives to collaborate, explore and share their experiences in an exciting environment that provides the opportunity to think outside the box.

The Project

EY asked us to be their official production partner for the 2022 event in Chicago. Our responsibility was to film all of the sessions, interview key attendees for various highlight films and content to be used post-event, and to work alongside the social media team in order to help create great content for their various social channels. It’s a big event and was a great chance for us to flex our muscles and create a global team to help pull it all together.

The Result

We had a lot of content to create so we put together a core group of 18 producers, editors, designers, cameramen and lighting technicians to help remotely and on the ground. The event was being held at a nightclub in downtown Chicago that had been transformed by C2, an events company funded by Cirque du Soleil. C2 creates a truly immersive experience complete with different sensory rooms to encourage innovative thinking. Past events used ball pits, VR experiences and swings to inspire attendees. We spent the week filming and working alongside C2 and the EY teams. It was important for us to showcase just the uniqueness of this event, and collaboration was key. It was exhausting - but also completely exhilarating and we were proud of what we were able to accomplish.
