How Hold the Front page Works

What are the rules of Hold the Front Page?

Teams create a newspaper front page to reflect aspects of your organisation. Props, Polaroid cameras and craft materials are provided, allowing everyone to get involved in this fun, business-relevant project.

Who is Hold the Front Page for?

Hold The Front Page is ideal for teams drawn from all levels of an organisation. It also works well for large conference groups with limited time and space.

How long does Hold The Front Page  last?

We can tailor Hold the Front Page to run for 25 to 75 minutes – or anything in between.

How do we tailor Hold the Front Page to our company?

To provide a business-relevant context, teams have to ‘fast forward into the future’ and create the front page of a newspaper a year from the date of the event. Each team’s headline story and features have to give a positive take on one of the organisation’s successes over the year.

The general comment today in the office is how amazing the event was and how much fun people had.

Just to say the event went brilliantly on Saturday. Had some really good feedback from people and everyone had a great time! Thanks so much for all your help!

Quorum

Working with Maximillion has been an absolute pleasure and a transformative experience for our organisation. Over the course of our 5-year collaboration they have expertly delivered a range of online and in-person events for us, including large-scale conferences and stand builds, internal staff gatherings, and engaging team away days. Their attention to detail, creativity, and seamless execution were evident in every event they organised for us. Whether managing the logistics of a high-profile conference or crafting memorable team-building experiences during away days, their professionalism and dedication shone through.

As always, seamless operations of the event. Very flexible working with you guys. Guests were delighted. Everything went super well. Well done Mike and Rhys!

Horizons – TPG Scotland

Maximillion provided our group with an incredible Scotland experience. We were in town from America for a small wedding at Dundas Castle. Our group RAVED about the events hosted by Maximillion. They said it made them feel (in a short visit) like they had the opportunity to get a real taste of Scottish culture. The planning, implementation and follow-up with the entire staff was seamless and easy. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. I can’t think of one thing you could have done better for our group. Thank you so much for everything!

Bonnie Periano
