ABOUT THE EVENT 

The SC Johnson Workshop was a two day internal training and development event held at the company's own office. The workshop brought together 30 to 40 participants, including foreign guests, for a combination of learning sessions, breakout discussions, and individual professional photography.

The a.c.e team demonstrated strong adaptability and coordination throughout the preparation and event delivery process. As the event requirements evolved, the team responded quickly by refining the layout, adjusting the technical setup, and ensuring the overall guest experience remained smooth and engaging. 

A key highlight was the individual studio photography experience, where guests had their portraits captured, edited, and printed as personalised magazine-style keepsakes within a short turnaround. Combined with Malaysian-inspired F&B elements, the workshop successfully delivered a culturally rich and memorable experience for all attendees.

EXECUTIONS 

Planning & Setup 

The team reused client's existing physical cutout boards as backdrop as an ESG efforts. Additional TVs on stands were brought in to ensure all guests could see screen content clearly. The venue shifted last minute from an external event space to the client's office, requiring quick adaptation of layouts and technical setups. For F&B, the team proposed nyonya pastries for foreign guests as a Malaysian cultural touchpoint. 

Program Management  

The team managed workshop flow, real time slides changes, and F&B arrangement including coffee and nyonya pastries. A significant component was individual studio photography for each guest with magazine cover style output. Shooting took place on day one, and by day two each guest needed their printed, edited photo. The team completed all editing overnight with no margin for error. 

Technical Support 

Simple console management was handled. The team installed backdrop with TV mount on top plus delay TV to ensure guests at the back could see content. No dedicated event photographer was engaged, so the team stepped in to capture and share photos with the client. 

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS 

• Repurposed a Client’s Resources for a Sustainable Event: When our client approached us to plan their upcoming corporate event, they had one key request: make it ESG-friendly. Sustainability wasn’t just a buzzword for them, it was an initiative. They wanted to reduce waste, lower the carbon footprint, and move away from the typical “build-and-dispose” event model. Inspired by their commitment, our team took this challenge head-on. Instead of starting from scratch, we proposed to use something from their current inventory. We began by conducting a deep dive into their existing inventory from old event décor and branded merchandise  and past activation materials. With creativity and intention, we saw potential where others might see clutter. We then decided to build up a backdrop while using their existing structures.  

• Magazine Style Studio Photography: Each guest received an individual photoshoot with photo output designed as a magazine cover page, serving as certification upon workshop completion.
