Cherryduck Productions was given just 24 hours to turn an event at the NEC Birmingham into a live stream after Covid19 stopped a 3,000 strong audience attending in person.

The event for Tropic Skincare (founded by The Apprentice contestant Susie Ma) was held on Saturday (14 March) to an empty auditorium, with Cherryduck providing an onsite live stream service.

The live stream had an online audience of 8,500 – reaching 5,500 more viewers than would have attended in person.
