Case Study

Industry: Major insurance provider

Service: Creating a memorable experience for the 150 top ranked insurance brokers

Location: Madrid, Spain

Objective

CWT Meetings & Events Brazil were given the opportunity to plan an incentive trip for one of Brazil’s largest worldwide insurance company, to Madrid, Spain. Even with the event complexities and challenges presented, CWT M&E executed a flawless event, receiving extensive accolades from the customer.

The requirements:

Provide a seamless digital experience with email invitations, online registration and a customized mobile app for the event.
Transport all 260 attendees from various locations around Brazil to Sao Paulo – the hub for international airlines - then to Madrid, Spain.
Deliver a memorable experience through numerous Spanish activities, gala and award dinners while adding in a few surprises throughout.
Keeping costs within budget.

Challenge

"The challenge was to prove our capability to create a unique experience, differentiating from a traditional leisure trip that any employee could have if traveling on their own. We proved our point through the program created specifically for this major insurance company" said Rodrigo Botono, Sales Manager, Brazil, CWT M&E.

Additional challenges arose when event’s key contact left the company. Internal changes caused important decisions to be delayed.

Pre-selected venues and activities were put on hold which meant other parties showed interest in the chosen venues. Payments and decisions needed to be made in order to secure the venues.

Solution

With the client’s destination of Madrid, Spain in mind, the global presence with local knowledge suited perfectly. The team in Brazil connected with CWT M&E Spain to brainstorm ways to deliver amazing experiences to 260 attendees.

Delivering cost savings with the venues through existing relationships and negotiating costs to stay within budget.

Activities planned included:
