The Show Must Go On
When the global events industry dramatically collapsed in the wake of Covid-related shutdowns, Jeremy Fleming and his close-knit team at Sydney-based Stagekings faced a disastrous outlook. As a company that specializes in building state-of-the-art stages (think Formula 1 and a Shakespeare’s Globe replica), they had to think fast — and look to a whole new industry — after suffering mass cancellations.
In this episode, Jeremy recounts the importance of keeping his team employed, and how a fear of having to let staff go motivated nimble action.
He shares the fantastic story of how an idea from a friend inspired the team to use their existing skills and technology to quickly meet a new market need (for everyone all of a sudden working from home), and how his staff came together to launch a beautiful new product, IsoKing, within just days.
