NinetyOne

The Investing in a World of Change event is the annual keynote customer event hosted by NinetyOne. With a global audience of IFAs and high net-worth investors, a hybrid format was identified as the most effective. The events also coincided with a global renaming and branding initiative, as this UK-South African investment firm demerged from the Investec banking group.

The hybrid platform was developed for 150 in person delegates and 400 remote invitees. The format gave remote attendees a high level of visibility and voice in the programme, panels, and Q&A sessions. With multiple offices in all major geographies participating, we created a broadcast (hub) studio in NinetyOne’s London headquarters, fed by satellite ideation studios.

The hybrid event was a resounding success, effectively launching the new NinetyOne brand vision and a phased, strategic reorientation of the firm’s portfolios to sustainable investments.

The collaborative experience cleverly fostered a sense of connection and belonging with the IFA community and investors.
