Two day live streaming event

2009-09-08T14:22:00.001-04:00

We produced a two-day live streaming event last week, wrapping late in the date on Thursday. The client normally has a two-week road show every year to present business plans for the coming year to different U.S. regions. After much planning and testing, we replaced the road show with a two-day meeting streamed in real time to about 40 office locations. It gave the presenters "two weeks of their life back"!

This was a great collaboration and we look forward to doing more of these kinds of events as more companies embrace streaming video technology.

2009-09-02T15:06:00.000-04:00

EventStreams announces more award-winning videos and new interactive capabilities!

Highlights include:

ES client, the Atlanta Bar Association, wins an international ACLEA Award.
ES wins two Aurora Awards for productions for Agilysys and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
ES adds Interactive Flash Programming to our skill set.

The international Association for Continuing Legal Education (ACLEA) honored the Atlanta Bar Association (ABA) with an Award for Outstanding Achievement for Lincoln on Professionalism in the Best Program category. It is one of only 15 annual awards granted to competitors representing more than 300 organizations.

EventStreams worked with the ABA’s Lincoln Committee to produce a series of ten videos in the documentary style of filmmaker Ken Burns. The videos are used by the ABA in a comprehensive CLE program that is available for purchase by other bar associations throughout the country.

ACLEA will formally present the award to the Atlanta Bar Association at the Annual Meeting of ACLEA in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 28, 2009. Call us at 404-816-1114 to see this video series.

EventStreams is honored to receive two Gold Aurora Awards for Agilysys IBM Technology Solutions and CDC: Healthy Community Design. The Aurora Awards is an international competition designed to recognize production excellence in the film and video industries.

Agilysys successfully uses this video for business development and awareness of its storage solutions. Frank Casillo, Director of Marketing at Agilysys, says “A tool like this video goes a long way in establishing our brand in the market. It is played before customer seminars, several sales reps have attached it to their email signature, and it is even posted to YouTube.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention uses the CDC: Healthy Community Design video to help explain in plain language how community design affects health. It is included on the Healthy Community Design website and provided to Smart Growth advocates on DVD.

And in other news, we are very excited to announce our new partnership with Matt Morrison! This significantly expands our capabilities in web design and development, and allows us to provide interactive Adobe Flash and Flex-based applications to support your video-based marketing, training and communications efforts.

EventStreams wins Telly Award

2009-09-02T14:53:00.003-04:00

**Originally released March 2009

This month EventStreams won a bronze Telly Award for its work with the Atlanta Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (ACVB) to promote Atlanta as a top meeting destination.

Watch the video here: http://www.eventstreams.com/acvb/mpi2009/

Meeting Professionals International (MPI) hosted its annual MeetDifferent conference in Atlanta in February 2009; the last time this conference met in Atlanta was in the 1990s and many new and wonderful additions have been made to the city.

ACVB challenged EventStreams to create a promotional video to build attendance for the 2009 conference and show that Atlanta knows all about “Meeting Different.” The message also needed to remind meeting planners that, yes, Atlanta is a business city, but we also know how to have fun in unique and different ways. We wanted to remind them of all the many things to do in Atlanta.

EventStreams dove into the assignment and produced a fun and unique 45-second spot that included an underwater shoot at The Georgia Aquarium.

MPI and ACVB used the video in several marketing efforts, including featuring it on www.atlanta.net and in an email marketing campaign. ACVB has also permanently posted the video on their website to highlight Atlanta’s “meeting” potential.

With over 13,000 entries from the U.S. and countries around the world, EventStreams is honored to accept the Telly award and proud to represent an award winning piece. It is on display in our Atlanta office; be sure to check it out the next time you stop by!

EventStreams helps clients win awards!

2009-09-02T13:49:00.004-04:00

**Originally released November 2006

ATLANTA - EventStreams clients Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta and Powell Goldstein each recently won an award for communications efforts including streaming video.

JFGA placed second in the “Best Online Event Registration Category” from the International e-Philanthropy Foundation for its online marketing efforts supporting the Jewish Community Centennial Celebration at the Georgia Aquarium in February, 2006. Event registration was handled entirely online. An email registration pull-through campaign included a light-hearted streaming video featuring Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus and past JFGA President Linda Selig at the Georgia Aquarium.

“I am proud that we finished second in our category,” says Communications Manager Jeffrey Gold. “It was an honor to be associated with many high profile nonprofits like Greenpeace, the American Cancer Society, the ASPCA and the United Way. The award underscores the creative power of the internet to motivate people and generate a response.” “This video invitation was extremely timely and very well received by the local community,” says EventStreams COO Gil Wolchock. “Over 1500 people watched the video within 6 days of being distributed, and in that same time over 1300 tickets were sold. We are proud to be associated with JFGA on an on-going basis.”

Powell Goldstein won first place in the “Business Development Initiative Category” from the Legal Marketing Association Southeast Chapter for its InterAction Skits. The skits were designed to educate attorneys and secretaries how to effectively use InterAction CRM Software to improve client service, increase firm productivity and to capitalize on new business opportunities. EventStreams recorded and edited the skits, turning them into a training and development piece for new hires.

“The most effective way to deliver these skits is in a live setting, but we can’t realistically get to everyone,” says Marketing Manger Kate Frost. “The video helps us reach everyone with a consistent message, helps keep training costs down and introduces the marketing department to the attorneys and associates in other offices.”

EventStreams produces corporate videos for marketing, promotions, tradeshows, global best practices, employee communications and e-learning. We deliver on the medium that best suites each project, including streaming, progressive downloads, flash, DVD, thumb drive and CD.
