His presence illuminated the room, igniting a collective realisation that assumptions should not be made about people with disability and that they quite often possess immeasurable talent that as an employer, you could be missing out on.  Through his story, attendees were compelled to create inclusive environments where everyone’s unique abilities were celebrated. The event unfolded with a riveting panel discussion, where experts delved into the barriers encountered when striving for diverse workplaces. Their insights and lived experiences sparked a fire within attendees, challenging them to question traditional norms and embrace fresh perspectives. Let’s Rock NSW shattered the glass ceiling of conventional thinking surrounding disability and inclusion. It showcased success stories and emphasised the immeasurable value of diverse perspectives. It became an embodiment of the contributions people with disability make in the NSW public sector. BCS felt an immense pride in being part of an initiative that invited attendees to revolutionise their mindset and strive for transformative change. The impact of Let’s Rock NSW was profound and enduring. Participants departed with a renewed commitment to foster inclusive workplaces and become agents of change. They experienced a paradigm shift—a revelation that diversity and inclusion were not just buzzwords but catalysts for innovation, growth, and societal progress. BCS want to share this remarkable collaboration and the tale of Let’s Rock NSW, with their own clients, illustrating NSW Government’s unwavering journey towards creating a truly diverse workforce. Being part of this event is an affirmation that when organisations embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion, they set the stage for true greatness. And with each collaboration, BCS sought to propel this revelation forward, illuminating the path towards a brighter, more inclusive future.

Bonus Content – 10 Impactful Guidelines for Case Study Video Creation

By following these tips, you can create impactful B2B video case studies that effectively showcase your success stories and influence potential customers.

  1. Define your objective: Clearly identify the purpose of your video case study. Is it to showcase a successful implementation, highlight customer satisfaction, or demonstrate the benefits of your product/service? Having a clear objective will guide your entire storytelling process.

  2. Select the right customer: Choose a customer whose experience aligns closely with your target audience. Ensure they have achieved significant results or overcome specific challenges with the help of your solution. This will make the case study more relevant and relatable to potential customers.

Start by introducing the customer’s challenge or pain point, then showcase how your product/service provided a solution. Highlight the specific results or outcomes achieved and conclude with a strong call to action.

  5. Use visuals effectively: Visuals play a crucial role in capturing viewers’ attention and conveying information. Incorporate engaging footage, relevant product/service demonstrations, and on-screen text to highlight key messages. Consider using graphics, animations, or customer testimonials to enhance the storytelling.

  6. Feature customer testimonials: Include interviews or testimonials from the customer to add credibility and authenticity. Let them share their firsthand experience, challenges faced, and the positive impact your solution had on their business. Authentic and genuine testimonials can greatly influence potential customers.

  7. Showcase measurable results: Highlight the measurable results or key metrics achieved by the customer after implementing your solution. Whether it’s increased revenue, cost savings, improved efficiency, or customer satisfaction, quantifiable outcomes provide tangible evidence of your solution’s value.

  8. Add a strong call to action: End the video case study with a clear call to action, directing viewers on the next steps they should take. This could include visiting your website, contacting your sales team, or requesting a demo. Make it easy for viewers to engage with your company after watching the case study.

  9. Promote and distribute effectively: Once the video case study is ready, ensure it reaches your target audience. Share it on relevant platforms such as your website, social media channels, email newsletters, and industry-specific communities. Consider leveraging paid advertising or partnering with industry influencers to expand its reach.

  10. Measure and optimise: Track the performance of your video case study by monitoring engagement metrics, such as views, click-through rates, and conversions. Use this data to refine your approach and optimise future video case studies for better results.

FinTech Market Mission

The Brief

To design a program that was fully immersive and could rival a physical mission. To source and work with local trade partners and incubators who could attract FinTech’s who are serious about expanding into Australia, FinTech’s looking to expand to the UK and scale-ups from Western Australia looking to expand to the UK.

It was important to craft a programme that was balanced enough to provide scale-ups with the information they needed to set up in Australia and the UK, to keep participants engaged and be highly interactive with open channels of communication.

They needed us to:

  • A fully immersive program scheduled over ten days to accommodate multiple time-zones. Including:
    1. Keynote presentations from Industry experts and Government Ministers
    1. Workshops such as ‘setting up a business in Australia’
    1. Pitch day for scale-ups to pitch to potential local investors
    1. Breakout sessions
    1. Networking sessions
    1. 1-on-1 meetings
  • Content creation
  • Managing the virtual platform and sessions
  • Technical support
  • Speaker sourcing and management
    1. A dynamic MC
    1. Sourcing key speakers and innovators from the FinTech
    1. Community
    1. Script preparation
    1. Keynote performance coaching
    1. Rehearsal management
  • Secure Government support and buy-in

The Market Mission was insightful and well run. If you’re looking to break into a new market, these seminars can save you an awful amount of time, money, and pain. Access to senior people in the industry, even at the government level, is impressive.”

The Solution

The Virtual Trade Mission was a huge success. A large part was the ability to secure Government support from Senator Jane Hume, the Federal Coalition’s Assistant Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and Financial Technology, who launched the Australian virtual FinTech Market Mission. The Australian launch event had over 150 registered participants from nine countries.

For the mission, the program attracted:

  • 18 FinTech’s looking to expand into Australia
  • 18 FinTech’s looking to expand to the UK and
  • 10 scale-ups from Western Australia looking to expand to the U.K

The programme development was instrumental in bringing together key representatives from KPMG, FinTech Australia, Victorian Government, NSW Government, Trade & Investment Queensland as well as start-up communities such as Stone & Chalk & York Butter Factory, Innovation Hub, Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), Austrade, Ecosystm and many more. Following the event, these trade mission champions aim to keep the wheels of innovation and growth in motion during these challenging times.
