Social Media
Presenting and Event Solutions

Social media event solutions are perfect for award gala ceremonies, business summits and industry conferences. The social media coverage will be posted on all of your social media pages as it real-time to create a buzz throughout the event and expose more people, purpose and place to those involved in your event, especially sponsors. In addition to this, an event hashtag can be promoted to attendees throughout the event, including conducting interviews with speakers and providing real-time announcements as the event progresses. Live interviews with winners and keynotes speakers during your coverage of the event means we will also capture hours of content such as interviews, product demos, entertainers, and Q&A sessions with keynote speakers and panellists, who will answer audience questions from the floor and hours of B-roll footage of your conference reception or dinner service and much more!

Customer Reviews

Prue Weir Beagle Motor Inn

Have just completed the 3 day Facebook Marketing for Tourism and found it to be most helpful. Very good material and slides and is something everyone should look at doing for their business. Thank you, Despina.

Mark Williams

Her knowledge of business is very broad and her ability to motivate and inspire is one of her greatest strengths. She’s been tough with me when needed but always delivered her message with just the right amount of enthusiasm and kindness.
