The Brief
Client: Adecco Group
Venue: Keele
Date: 4-5 March 2026
What we delivered: Full broadcast AV production for a live company-wide stream
Adecco needed their Keele office to become a broadcast studio for a day. We turned a working office into a professional broadcast environment, a custom set, multi-camera production and a live stream to 3,500 delegates, then handed the space back exactly as we found it the same day.
Projects like this leave no room for error. No backstage, no loading dock, no built-in infrastructure. Just an office that had to look and sound like a studio for a few hours, without losing the feel of a real workspace.
With 3,500 people watching live, there was no second take. Everything had to be built, tested and locked in before the broadcast window, so that once we went live, the programme simply ran.
The Set
The centrepiece was a fully printed 6m x 2.4m branded backdrop, framed by custom lightboxes we built to add depth on camera. Large-format print and illuminated signage gave the set real presence while still sitting naturally in the room, polished enough to read as a studio without overwhelming the working office around it.
Bar-height stools created two presenter positions, keeping the format conversational and the camera angles clean. Everything was designed to build fast and strike clean, so the set could go up, hold for the broadcast, and come down the same day with no trace left behind.
Production
Three cameras covered both presenter positions, giving the vision mixer room to cut between wide shots, singles and reactions live. A BirdDog PTZ added a further angle with no extra crew footprint. The gallery sat just off set, built around a vMix PPU handling the live mix, graphics and stream output, with a presenter monitor so on-camera talent could time their transitions back to live.
Twelve tuneable LED soft panels lit both positions evenly, ceiling-mounted where possible to keep the floor clear. Audio ran on eight channels of Sennheiser digital wireless with lavalier and handheld options for Q&A, mixed on a Yamaha QL1, with L-Acoustics X8 speakers for in-room foldback.
Streaming & Crew
We managed all pre-recorded content, handling edits and playback so videos dropped cleanly into the programme. Slido kept presenters connected to the remote audience, and the stream went out via Microsoft Teams on a dedicated 4G router, independent of the office network.
A crew of six delivered the project across two days: a Production Manager, Producer, Vision Mixer, Senior Sound Technician, General Technician and Camera Operator. The build, fit-up and rehearsals were done the day before, ready for the 2pm live window on day two, with derig wrapped by late afternoon, leaving the office exactly as we found it.
