Cranking the Humor Dial

Spoiler alert: corporate events aren’t always hilarious. As an attendee, you might hope to learn something new or meet someone interesting. But expecting to be entertained… even to the point of laughing out loud? Now you’re just being greedy. Yet that’s exactly what we aim to do at our clients’ corporate events. We want people to loosen up and genuinely enjoy themselves. After a day of serious sessions, they need a release valve. A bit of levity is a reminder […]

Let Your Employees Tell Your Story

Your company is about to host a big, important event, and you need a speaker whom everyone in the room will remember. Where do you look first? Facebook? The black hole that is Google search results? That guy on the street corner who is always yelling into his megaphone? Before you start searching outside your company, pause for a moment and look around you. Who do you see? What have they experienced? What unique perspectives do they offer? The ideal […]

Make Your Mission Come to Life

When you are running a nonprofit organization, your mission drives everything. Your mission is what motivates you to show up every day to do the work you do, and it inspires others to support your organization as donors, volunteers, board members, or advocates. The challenge for many nonprofits is communicating what exactly that mission is – why it matters and why people should be moved to contribute to your cause. Too often, the passion you feel doesn’t quite come through […]

The Best Videos Always Have These Things

We all know when we’re watching a good video. It moves us in some way. It makes us feel, or think, or laugh. But what about a great video? What about the best videos? The best videos are the ones that make you forget you’re watching a video. They never interrupt your experience of the video itself. And they elicit that universal “yes” we all want to feel. But what does that really mean? The average viewer doesn’t notice, but […]

Music is More Important to Your Event Than You Think

The right music can make or break an event. We’re not being overly dramatic here. Think about an event you attended that had music that wasn’t necessarily bad, just wrong. It didn’t fit the environment, the audience, or the theme of the festivities. The wedding reception playing a whole catalog of break-up songs. The corporate mixer blasting a playlist of explicit pop tracks. The awards ceremony featuring slow, sleepy walk-up music for honorees. Music sets the tone (we always keep […]

How to Tell a Story with a 100-Foot Wide LED Screen

When you walk into an event space and see an LED screen that spans the entire stage – 100 feet wide and 20 feet tall – you can’t help but stop and stare. It packs a huge punch. It’s a genuine “wow” moment. We’ve seen the power of the giant LED screen over and over again. We bring a client in to preview a big presentation, and they stand frozen on stage, looking back and forth, up and down, in […]

5 Tips for Delivering the Unexpected at an Event

The words “surprise and delight” are on the tip of every brand’s tongue right now. And for good reason. A pleasant surprise revealed at just the right moment stirs up the best kind of emotions – joy, excitement, nostalgia, giddiness. These are the reactions we all want to inspire in the people who attend our events. But how do you create a memorable, captivating experience without, say, a surprise performance from Beyoncé? (Note: this is either possible if you have […]
