Mystical forest evening
BNP Paribas is an international bank of French origin and is a major economic and financial player in Europe and the world. Wanting to create more communication between the different departments, they called on us to organize an evening worthy of their ambition. Their objective: to decompartmentalize the company's departments, which were used to working in silos. We imagined a "wild" evening for them.
-
For this evening, the brief was to surprise our guests and arouse their curiosity. They received an enigmatic invitation with clues to discover the place of the evening. They were guided through the old Paris in a vintage bus.
-
The client's wish was to bring the teams together and to encourage exchanges. Each guest was given an animal mask, an accessory that punctuated the course of the evening, promoting spontaneity and the relaxed atmosphere of the event. The place is an animal museum and played perfectly the role of a showcase for this evening.
-
The staff is still talking about that night with the masks. Icebreaker perfect. The fact that the location was kept secret until the last moment also aroused their curiosity and they were not disappointed with their findings. The participants gave the event an NPS of 9.5/10, which is representative of the success of the event.
An escape to open up to others and create links
To escape for an evening, to get away from it all, to make our guests travel without even leaving the capital, with the idea of creating a new participative collaboration; this was the objective of the Acmé team in order to surprise our client BNP.
In search of a breath of fresh air, our client emphasized the need to escape for a few hours. To give BNP members a complete break from their daily routine, Acmé decided to organize an intimate and original evening that would unite the teams and build a common story for all participants. So it was in a mysterious atmosphere that we came to set the scene for this immersive event where we combined a mystical theme with an uninhibited atmosphere.
A mysterious journey to the place of the event
To arouse the curiosity of our participants, the experience begins with a mysterious meeting in front of their office, where a vintage bus awaits them. An unexpected trip through the old Paris continues to build the excitement of the employees, the destination being kept secret.
Upon arriving at the exceptional location, the authentic atmosphere of the Marais intoxicates the participants, who only have to push the doors of the Hôtel Particulier in the district to discover a world converted into a mystical forest.
It is in a wild atmosphere and a place out of time that the employees were able to gather by taking part in a new experience, the time of an evening, in order to forge strong bonds.
We release the beasts for the evening!
In order to bring a "bestial" touch, animal masks are distributed upon arrival, to make the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming. The most reserved will keep the mask for a while, the most daring will quickly drop it.
To start the evening with a bang, icebreakers were launched by team to create transversality and interaction between the different teams, which delighted the guests.
From one surprise to another, the guests fully enjoy this experience. Immersed in this mystical universe, they let go, participate in union and leave room for communication. Surrounded by animals and creatures, the guests move at their own discretion and according to their desires in this atmosphere in total rupture with their daily life, conducive to exchange and participatory collaboration.
The event is in full swing. On the agenda: a number of activities organized around cohesion to encourage interaction between teams and the expression of each individual. A physical experience that brings BNP employees together.
Masks, immersive games, souvenir photos ... All the ingredients are gathered to charm our guests during this unique immersion which had the power to unite them and to give birth to the feeling of belonging to a new community. The masks allow to stage the photos and to immortalize the strong moments of this evening, by leaving engraved memories for our participants.
A clear result and a promising outlook
The immersive evening was very popular: all the teams were satisfied, and the contract was fulfilled for Acmé, which achieved an NPS of 9.5/10.
The evening was a real revelation for the participants, creating a new era of participative and collective work. The event is having a positive impact, both at the party and in the office.
"Acme has provided extraordinary service. The team is exceptionally efficient and responsive. Acmé took care of everything and for the first time I didn't take care of anything and enjoyed the event. The event was a success: it was the first time that the teams interacted so much with each other and that they stayed so late! I highly recommend Acmé and we will entrust them with the group's next events without hesitation." - BNP, COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
"Our problem to solve during this event was the communication between the teams. Acmé offered us a masked evening in a magnificent location. The atmosphere and the decoration immersed us in an animal and mysterious theme. We are delighted with our collaboration with Acmé." - BNP PARIBAS PACE, CEO
