Description
Experience Level: Expert
Estimated project duration: 1 - 6 months
Num. of words: 10,000
Industry: Lifestyle/Travel
Topic: London Olympics/Sustainable Olympics
Tone: Instructional/Educational
Outline & Structure: Hi, I run a London walking tour company.
We wrote two tours for the Olympic site in 2009. One was a general overview of the site and how the London 2012 games would run. The other was a variation on this content – it used the same route, but focussed on the sustainability initiatives and why London 2012 was going to be the greenest games ever.
I'm now looking someone to take these two scripts (which are about 12,000 words each) and modify them, so they a) are updated and relevant for 2014 and b) use a route (that you will design) that goes through the centre of the park. (The old route went around the perimeter of the site).
You are free to use content from the old scripts, as long as it is all relevant to a 2014 audience.
The existing scripts focus on:
– The different venues of the games, how they were used and how they were designed
– How the site was changed from an industrial area to an area with thriving wildlife
– Why London was chosen to host the games
– The predicted effects of the games on the economy and local area
– The design of the logo and why it looks the way it does
– The predicted legacy
Plus (of course) the Sustainable 2012 tour looks at the buildings and site in terms of sustainability and the social benefit of the games overall.
Updates that need to be included are:
– Reordering the script's stops to fit the new route and what's visible
– How the London games were received in 2012 – how many people watched, its effect on the nation and tourism
– The final costs, economic benefits and environmental/social impacts
– What is actually happening in terms of legacy/building use etc (and how the games delivered on their other promises, such as increasing the country's participation in sports etc)
– How other cities have been influenced by the London games (both in terms of delivery and sustainability)
– Other successes and failures and updates that are relevant
You'll need to do some research on the points above, but you will mostly be modifying our existing work.
You'll need to be able to visit the Olympic site yourself – at least once by yourself to see what's possible in terms of the route, and once with me so we can do a dry run of the tour, seeing what other changes need to be made. You'll need to cover your own travel costs.
I'd also like you to supply me with a digital A4 document of images that support the tour.
I imagine the workflow will be as follows:
– Look at existing documents, make a list of all the things you'd like to change
– Visit the site to see what's possible in terms of route
– Discuss all updates and route changes with me over the phone
– Rejig existing document according to new route
– Research changes, write up and put into document
– Seek out images and put into A4 document
– Walk and read through the tour with me at the Olympic site
– Make any small changes that need to be made
Thanks!
