The Client

For more than 12 years already, Career Show has been organizing a variety of career events for qualified talent and companies worldwide. Their mission is to connect companies with top talent, supporting them in making the right choice. Their Career Show Awards are highly valued by employers and employees, showcasing inspiring employer branding practices and strategies worth sharing. They also organize Career Show Tech, which aims to connect employers with IT professionals.

We have been fascinated with the large-scale, creative, and professional organization of Career Show, as well as the parallel formats and events the organizers hold every year.

The Challenge

2020 was an unpredictable and different year at large. The first ‘wave’ of the lockdown was over, and the summer season made Career Show organizers feel more optimistic about organizing an offline, or at least a hybrid event possible with all the necessary precautionary measures.

At the beginning of the autumn season, our client had chosen a hybrid two-day format in Arena Armeec. The venue would also offer online presentations and interactions amongst employees and employers in a variety of industries. Launchee partnered with the organizers for the second part, being responsible for the quality live-streaming.

Just a month before the event’s premiere, the new epidemiologic restrictions forced Career Show 2020 organizers to rethink the format, making it completely online. Our teams had just a few days to propose a new working concept with all participants and partners.

The Solution

Launchee’s special forces team rolled up their sleeves and offered to support the event preparation and setup, pre-production, production, and post-production of the branded video content with over 40 companies.

After three days of intensive work, we produced everything needed, and then edited four more days. All videos were ready and were premiered in Career Show’s YouTube account at the start of the venue. The visitors were able to connect with their preferred employers online, thanks to Evalato – Career Show’s innovative platform, which was also its first debut in Bulgaria.

Our team completed the ambitious mission to support Career Show in linking talents and employers in an easy, engaging, and efficient way, as well as presenting all companies’ brands in the best possible way. Candidates were able to connect with preferred companies via video-interviews, as well as choosing from a variety of interesting lectures and presentations.
