Concept Summary

Best Digital Event Proske facilitated DSM and Firmenich's internal merger celebrations for 30,000 global employees. Our objectives: foster inclusivity, communicate new values, familiarize with business units, strengthen connections, and unveil the new brand. We used a hybrid concept: local celebrations, a 9-hour live TV broadcast, and a central digital platform. This platform became the new virtual brand hub, enabling global communication and engagement. We streamed content for 11 hours (incl. breaks), accommodating different regions, languages, and attendance preferences. Challenges included external brand development during the planning phase. The TV broadcast included live segments, pre-recorded videos, and content from flying reporters, edited in real-time. A large workforce of Proske achieved an outstanding planning and execution, while continuously supporting both clients and participants whenever necessary.
