Live Graphic Recording for Corporate Events
WECU 90-Year Celebration Case Study
Looking for a way to make your corporate event more engaging, memorable, and visually impactful?
At WECU’s 90-year anniversary celebration, we provided live graphic recording and interactive visual storytelling to capture the organization’s story in real time—transforming a leadership event into a shared, visual experience.
Urban Wild Studio offers live graphic recording, visual note-taking, and graphic facilitation for events in New York City, Chicago, Portland, and remote/worldwide.
What Is Live Graphic Recording?
Live graphic recording (also called visual note-taking or graphic facilitation) translates spoken content into large-scale visual notes during an event.
As speakers present, a visual facilitator listens for key ideas and illustrates them live—so your audience can see the conversation unfold.
Best for:
Corporate events and all-hands meetings
Conferences and keynote sessions
Leadership retreats and offsites
Strategic planning and vision workshops
Case Study: WECU 90th birthday all-employee Event
WECU brought together their entire team to:
Celebrate 90 years of impact
Reflect on a decade of growth
Launch a new 5-year strategic vision
We created a live illustrated summary that captured:
Their origin story (a shoebox + community-driven lending)
Leadership insights and employee voices
Key milestones and transformation
Strategic priorities: growth, community impact, and equity
As the event unfolded, the visual built in real time—creating a shared map of WECU’s past, present, and future.
Interactive Art Installation: Capturing Employee Voice
In addition to live graphic recording, we designed an interactive art installation to capture employee voice.
Participants responded to the prompt: “In one or two words, what strengths should WECU carry into the future?”
Their answers were written directly onto 4-foot-tall foam letters spelling WECU, turning the installation into a collective expression of shared values.
Why Visual Note-Taking + Interactive Art Works
Combining live graphic recording with participatory installations creates a deeper level of engagement.
It helps organizations:
Increase engagement → audiences stay present and involved
Improve retention → visuals make ideas stick
Clarify strategy → complex ideas become accessible
Build alignment → teams see the same big picture
Create ownership → participants contribute to the outcome
Extend impact → visuals and installations live on after the event
The Result
By the end of the event, WECU had:
A large-scale visual summary capturing their full story
A participatory installation filled with employee-generated values
A cohesive narrative connecting 90 years of history to a 5-year vision
The outputs became lasting assets—used to reinforce culture, communicate strategy, and celebrate the organization’s people.
