Our work

The Credit Trends series has been run by Moody’s for many years throughout January and February. Initially, in the mid-2010’s the series ran regionally – Europe, Asia Pacific, Americas. Although the title was the same the content varied region to region. Adapting as the pandemic took hold in 2021, we chose to use the period to elevate the global reach of these thought leadership events. 

The world’s first airline, KLM, celebrated 100 years in 2019. Broadsword produced two full-service events in London and Manchester, sourcing all aspects of the event. The key event themes were celebration, innovation, and sustainability. 

The Mind Media Awards are a high-profile event celebrating the best reporting and portrayals of mental health in print, broadcast and digital media attracting A‑list celebrities, media industry professionals, sponsors and supporters. 

A 24-hour live streamed and in person rolling event between Hong Kong, London and New York, The Economist’s Pride and Prejudice Festival was a global conversation on the status of LGBT rights in specific countries, it aimed to map new battlegrounds and identify the scope for action. 

The delegate feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many comments highlighted within the in-platform chat. One positive from the global lockdown could well be that a companywide engagement piece to start the year is here to stay. 

Collaboration was at the heart of this project, working with the Saatchi gallery, Broadsword created a showcase exploring the what, how and why of virtual and hybrid events, producing and directing a short film on the new post-Covid challenges organisers and suppliers are facing.
