Blink Payment partnered with Bespoke Events Management to elevate its annual team event, bringing 70 colleagues together for a full day of experiences across Central London. Having previously organised the event internally, Blink wanted to give its team something that felt noticeably different. The aim was to combine learning, team connection and entertainment in a way that reflected the energy and personality of the business.
A full company day needs enough variety to keep people engaged without becoming a series of disconnected activities.
For Blink, the programme needed to move between meaningful company content, team building and celebration while encouraging colleagues to mix outside their usual teams. Each experience also needed to feel personal to Blink rather than like an off-the-shelf corporate activity.
We created a multi-location London experience, using a quirky Central London hotel as the group’s base before taking the team out into the city.
A bespoke scavenger hunt was designed around the company, giving colleagues a fun and competitive way to explore London together. A keynote speaker and interactive workshop brought the focus back to Blink’s values, while a personalised pub quiz and interactive games added another layer of friendly competition.
As the day moved into evening, a DJ and electric violinist shifted the atmosphere from team event into celebration.
Guests experienced different sides of London and their own team throughout the day, moving from a city-wide challenge and shared learning to games, music and an evening together.
The combination of bespoke activities and Blink-specific content meant the event felt personal to the people attending, while the changing locations and experiences kept the energy moving from start to finish.
Rather than simply taking the team out for the day, Blink created an experience around its own people and culture, giving colleagues new ways to connect, compete and celebrate together.
