Inspiring Pivot Series II - Ricky Fox, with Sebastian Bates

FTEN X Academy will be hosting a LIVE interview with Ricky Fox and Sebastian Bates. The 'Inspiring Pivot Series is all about hearing incredible stories from small businesses that have managed to pivot online rapidly right in the middle of the global pandemic.

Ricky Fox is the co-owner at Captain Fantastic, one of the UK's top children's-party entertainment companies. Their team went from doing 200 physical kids parties a month to absolutely zero. Within a week, the team switched everything online and launched virtual birthday parties, playdates and live shows. The first seven days of launching parties online brought in over 100 bookings (with dozens in new countries). Their online following has grown from 3,000 followers to over 50,000 within a few days of launch, and their online events have already reached over three million people. Their online parties have also been featured on Sky News, BBC radio, The Evening Standard and The Daily Mirror online.
