Approach video as a must-have asset that anchors your event, with a return on investment that extends long afterward. From pre-show teasers to post-show takeaways, videos serve marketing, training and social impact needs throughout the year. 

Custom Video Content for Every Format  

Video production delivers on the “show, don’t tell” golden rule of storytelling. Some situations call for a cinematic approach and others benefit from quick-hit influencer reels. Whether it’s a polished keynote opener or UGC-inspired TikTok content, adapt content to maximize engagement. 

Involving video production experts in event strategy development shapes how multimedia can deliver key messages before, during and after the program. Early collaboration also ensures budget efficiency and content cohesion. 

Every visual is built with context in mind. Producers consider:  

• Where will the viewer be watching?  
• What will it take to maximize engagement?

Videos scale to any screen size or setting—from massive multi-screen LED displays in arenas to mobile-optimized formats. Video producers match the message to the medium. Keeping the brand voice front and center.

Creative Video Concepts Reinforce Brand Culture 

Video production technology transports audiences somewhere new, invigorating the event experience. Using AI-powered tools and green screen magic, we’ve created entire branded towns, immersive digital environments, and stylized universes—reflecting how organizations embrace innovation.  

But some of our most impactful projects are the most personal. Embedding video production crews in the day-to-day brings real participant stories to the big screen. Documentary-style short films are emotionally resonant because attendees see themselves reflected. The care taken to tell these everyday heroes’ stories builds brand loyalty.  

Video is also a tool for executives to embrace their more playful side. Nothing bonds an organization quite like hilarious brand parodies packed with insider jokes. Real-time camera filters can even bring the audience into the fun.  

Whether you’re setting out to make the audience laugh or give them a good cry, expertly produced event video reinforces what you want attendees to think, feel and do.

Repackaging Video to Expand Audience Reach 

Video content doesn’t just make events feel more immersive. It also drives return on investment. Event footage can be repackaged into internal communications, social campaigns and even website content.  

Video is especially valuable in events like trade shows and expos, when attendees can easily become overwhelmed by an excess of information. Demo videos for new product launches live beyond the event, with many brands using clips to showcase the latest innovation in consumer-facing communications.  

Hybrid showcase events can leverage video to hype products. We pre-produced video elements shared through a custom virtual event platform in a campaign that generated exceptional earned media. 

A shareable wrap-up video encourages attendees to post about their experience. It’s a sustainable way to scale, giving others across the enterprise a window into the event. And for global virtual events, we’ve delivered seamless, Netflix-caliber broadcasts in 150+ countries, across multiple languages. That’s powerful reach.
