Boom Boom Zoom
BoomBoomZoom was conceived to help performers who’d lost income due to their live shows and tours being cancelled during the COVID-19 crisis.
Both Jay and Paul Baker, who developed this together, were already very familiar with using Zoom for business meetings. Natural curiosity (or needs must) got them wondering how Zoom could be pushed further and be used as an entertainment platform.
After a couple of Zoom calls to the people at Zoom themselves, the first pilot ‘zoomcast’ went live to a paying audience within four days. That first show starred BBC Radio 4’s ‘Barry From Watford’. Following on there were shows starring Clinton Baptiste, from Peter Kay’s Pheonix Nights, and Angelos and Barry.
Designer Sam Eccles created the identity and got the website live in just three days.
Using the skills developed through BoomBoomZoom, Paul and Jay then produced the Soho House Lockdown Live Quiz, with Richard E Grant and Mel C.
