Some corporate days feel like work. Monday’s Nike JDI (Just Do It) team day was not one of them, not even close.
I had the pleasure of hosting Nike’s team at The Home of the Matildas, and honestly, goodness me, the laughs. As a corporate MC, these are the gigs I live for: a room full of people who don’t take themselves too seriously, ready to be pulled into a bit of friendly chaos.
Six Rounds of Kahoot, Nike Style
We ran the afternoon as a live Kahoot quiz, six rounds deep, all Nike-centric trivia. Brand history, sneaker facts, campaign trivia, the works.
Here’s the thing about hosting employees of a sportswear brand: they are competitive. Every round brought genuine belly laughs, some good-natured trash talk, and a leaderboard that was fought over right down to the wire. It’s exactly the energy you want in a corporate team day host: a bit of rivalry, a lot of laughter, and everyone leaving with sore cheeks from smiling.
Why a Great Quiz Host Matters for Corporate Events
A trivia format like Kahoot only lands if the room is warmed up, the pacing keeps people leaning forward, and the banter never lets the energy dip. That’s where an experienced event host earns their keep: reading the room, keeping score dramatic, and making sure even the quietest table gets pulled into the fun.
Huge thanks to Solution Entertainment and Seeker Agency for another brilliantly run corporate day. These two consistently know how to put together an event that people actually want to be at.
