JSCOACHING was formed by Jordan Smithson as a platform to share his journey through coaching rugby and developing coaches. Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Jordan coordinated and ran a number of virtual coaching conferences bringing like-minded individuals together to share knowledge.
Towards the end of 2020, Jordan decided to run a virtual quiz night to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. The concept was to host an online quiz that could be shared with family, friends and the wider public to bring people together for an evening of laughs, fun and fundraising.
Our mission was to support with the logistics, providing support with online hosting platforms, fundraising assets, and overseeing the running of the virtual quiz. We utilised the Lightstream platform to provide live stream support connecting Jordan and quizmaster Simon with the world.
We created pre-recorded video inserts and showcase clips to bring production quality to the stream. One of the biggest challenges was ensuring viewer engagement; for this, we utilised the hashtag #JSBIGQUIZ and direct access to YouTube live comments for quick interactions.
