Transcription

1 Take your team to the top! We create exceptional experiences for Corporates, Teams and Groups of any size. Whether your objective is to motivate or reward your employees with Sydney s best team building activity, or celebrate an occasion, the BridgeClimb experience will deliver unity, inspiration and a sense of achievement within your group. A BridgeClimb will help improve your team s on-the-job attitude, productivity and motivation. BridgeClimb is dedicated to tailoring the Climb experience for groups of all sizes. If your group is 50 people or more, we can recommend the best Climb for your team based on the details of your event. For groups of 50 people or less, we recommend choosing from a 3.5 hour, a 2.25 or 1.5 hour experience. Our Climbs BridgeClimb 3.5 hours The original Climb experience. If you have more time available in your team s itinerary, this Climb might be just the trick. In 3.5 hours, your group will take the upper arch to the summit where a panorama of Sydney awaits them. BridgeClimb Express 2.25 hours Introduced especially for the corporate and incentive market, the benefit of this Climb is time. In 2.25 hours, your group can experience the full BridgeClimb experience walking along catwalks, climbing over and under parts of the Bridge and ascending the inner arch to the summit for spectacular views across Sydney. BridgeClimb Mandarin 3.5 hours & 2.25 hours Follow either the BridgeClimb or BridgeClimb Express route to the summit led by a Mandarin speaking Climb Leader. BridgeClimb Sampler 1.5 hours Get a taste of the world famous BridgeClimb! In just 1.5 hours, ascend the inner arch of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge to a spectacular vantage point halfway to the top. This Climb is available at various times during the day and is suitable if your group would like a shorter and more economical taste of the Bridge without climbing to the summit. We really like the idea of literally sending our high-achievers to new heights by climbing a true Sydney icon. Mr Koo, Chairman, Perfect China

11 Case Study: Picture Perfect China sets new BridgeClimb record Situation In July 2013 more than 3,000 Chinese delegates, from direct selling company Perfect China, travelled to Sydney to attend the company s annual Leadership Seminar. Invitations to the event were given to high performing team members as a staff reward. The Perfect China delegates experienced a variety of iconic Sydney activities including a harbour cruise, sheep shearing, and a climb to the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Perfect China s Chairman, Mr Koo, said of the group s BridgeClimb experience: We really liked the idea of literally sending our high-achievers to new heights by climbing a true Sydney icon. Over four days more than 2,100 delegates climbed to the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge setting a new Bridge record for the largest corporate group booking in BridgeClimb s 15 year history. QUICK FACTS More than 2,100 Perfect China delegates climbed the Bridge between 13 and 16 July BridgeClimb operated under a Super Capacity Model in which group sizes increased from 14 climbers and 1 Climb Leader, to 42 climbers with 3 Climb Leaders. Climb groups departed every 15 minutes. Perfect China was granted exclusive access to the Bridge for a period over the four days. Outcome Co-branding was utilised in the Climb Base and on BridgeClimb memorabilia. 95.2% rated their overall BridgeClimb experience as very good to excellent. (Source: BridgeClimb Customer Survey). We came to experience the best of Sydney, and BridgeClimb was the perfect way to see the beauty of Australia s biggest city in a short space of time, said Perfect China President, Mr Woo Swee Lian. Outcomes From 13 to 16 July, BridgeClimb operated under a Super Capacity Model to deliver an outstanding experience to each and every Perfect China delegate. Due to the importance and size of this group, BridgeClimb granted exclusive access of BridgeClimb s Climb Base, as well as the climb routes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, to Perfect China for a period of time over the four days. Perfect China delegates were welcomed to BridgeClimb by a video of their CEO and President, specially filmed on the Bridge for the event, in BridgeClimb s Cinema. Co-branding was incorporated throughout the Climb Base as well as on the delegates BridgeClimb caps and certificates of achievement. Challenges The Perfect China group more than tripled BridgeClimb s previous group record. Based on the unique size and requirements of Perfect China, BridgeClimb developed a tailored climb experience, from delegate check-in to climber descent, to ensure every climber experienced a world-class customer experience whilst simultaneously respecting the intricacies of Chinese culture. To successfully cater for this group, BridgeClimb operated under the aforementioned Super Capacity Model where group sizes were increased, climbs departed every 15 minutes, and all groups were led in the Mandarin language. To achieve this, BridgeClimb sourced an increased number of Mandarin speaking Climb Leaders especially. The positive response from the delegates, evident in the customer survey results, is testament to the experience and professional nature of BridgeClimb s team during operation.

12 Case Study: So many from our group have always dreamed of taking part in the BridgeClimb challenge and we have all built some unforgettable memories, said Perfect China President, Mr Woo Swee Lian. BridgeClimb Chairman and Founder, Paul Cave, said, This is a very exciting milestone for us, both for our relations with China and because it demonstrates our ability to create tailored experiences for large corporate groups. We are committed to enhancing every climber s experience, so when the opportunity presented itself to host 2,100 people, we rose to the challenge.

A global leader in direct selling, with over 3 million independent business owners (IBOs) in more than 80 countries, Amway rewarded its high-performing Malaysian IBOs with a variety of bespoke group activities in the iconic city of Sydney, including the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to climb the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge with BridgeClimb Sydney. I loved making the journey all the way to the top [of the Sydney Harbour Bridge] and our Climb Leader was simply excellent! said See Sian Loong, Amway Malaysia. Invigorated by fresh air and excitement, Amway s top sellers were encouraged to dance and sing their way to the Bridge s summit by BridgeClimb Leaders tour guides who told tales of Australia s history and offered stories and secrets of the 80-year-old bridge. Demonstrating Sydney s ability to cater for large groups, Amway Malaysia s brief was successfully met when 700 top sellers experienced BridgeClimb and a Sydney Sailing regatta simultaneously and within business hours. We wanted to give our participants an extraordinary experience and decided on the BridgeClimb and the sailing regatta to be carried out on the same day, said Mohd Isa Ibrahim, Head of Sales, Amway Malaysia. BridgeClimb customised almost every aspect of the experience for Amway Malaysia, offering the client: Exclusive use of the attraction Amway branding opportunities throughout the Climb Base and on the climber s photos Customised merchandise Collateral support The BridgeClimb team was very professional and knowledgeable, working together to ensure this feat was successfully pulled off.

14 Case Study: NYU gets on top of business In 2015, forty one students from the NYU Stern School of Business visited Sydney in participation of AGSM & the University of NSW Business School s Doing Business in Australia program. During this program, the group had the opportunity to visit BridgeClimb and learn directly about how this unique and thriving Sydney business was conceived and built by one of Australia s leading businessmen, Paul Cave. From a novel concept to a thriving reality, BridgeClimb is the result of a dream that Paul was determined to share with the world. In a presentation led by Dylan Rowland, BridgeClimb s General Manager of Sales, in BridgeClimb s private cinema, equipped with theatre seating and large cinema screen, the students were educated on how this novel concept was turned into reality small group tours to the summit of the internationally renowned Sydney Harbour Bridge. Before having the opportunity to experience the original 3.5 hour BridgeClimb experience, the group was provided with a private lunch in their own space inside BridgeClimb s Visitor Centre, to reflect on their learnings. The whole BridgeClimb experience was a highlight of the program, receiving outstanding feedback from the participants. The staff at BridgeClimb were a pleasure to deal with their responsiveness and efficiency really adding to the whole experience. We look forward to working with the team at BridgeClimb to bring more groups through in future. Gemma Thompson, Project Manager, Strategy, Innovation & Academic Group, AGSM@ UNSW Business School UNSW Australia This tailored group experience was arranged in close collaboration with the UNSW Business School and BridgeClimb Sydney. QUICK FACTS Event: NYU Stern (University of NSW) Delegates: 41 pax from NYU Stern and UNSW Destination: Sydney, New South Wales Date: 6 January 2015 To ensure this large group enjoyed a cohesive experience of BridgeClimb s product, the students were separated into three exclusive groups departing 10 minutes apart.
