It’s hard to miss the headlines touting the growing popularity of live streaming video. According to a recent survey, 80% of consumers would rather watch live video from a brand than read a blog or social media post. So, why should you even read this post? Clearly, to start researching live streaming’s potential!

Plum Media is home to a 1,023 square-foot studio capable of almost anything you can think of. And it is available to rent for those looking for space for their next project.

There are a lot of things to coordinate when it comes to hosting a live event. Conferences, meetings, announcements, award shows, and more all have several levels beyond the normal A/V needs. When they’re all managed well, your event can be more successful. Getting help from an event professional like Plum Media can help manage those details.

Are you trying to organize a company meeting with people in different cities, states or even countries? Do you have a timely message that every employee should hear? Consider live streaming your meeting. It connects people in real time when face-to-face isn’t an option.

Concept Design Group is an advertising agency that works primarily in digital media. They chose Plum Media’s live streaming services team to produce educational webinars for their client, General Finishes, an innovator in the development of water-based stains and finishes.

If you're a professional recruiter, you're no stranger to the hiring challenges in a tight job market. Cutting through the digital noise to attract the right talent can seem impossible – which is why you want to consider adding live video to the mix.

Imagine your boss walks up to your desk and says, “We need our communications efforts to engage more employees. Let’s webcast our next all-hands meeting.”

LET'S KICKOFF SUMMER!!  

It's finally summer here in Wisconsin (although a little chilly as I write this post) and we've been working hard on some incredible Plum projects. We hope you find some inspiration here for your next live event or video project. Here's the skim:

• Events & Meetings:
  • Unleash the power of your sales channel with a memorable recognition event
• Videos: 
  • Real Fun: Our Wisconsin State Park Story
  • VERUS® Edge Diagnostic and Information System
  • Celebrating a hero with the Red Cross of Southeast Wisconsin 

Live events and corporate meetings can be complicated. There's the technical aspect of coordinating audio, video, staging etc. and then there's the actual content or message that needs to be conveyed. I sat down with a few folks from our live events team recently and asked them, what really makes a live event a success? Here's what Rich, Gael and Ken had to say:

As soon as people find out that part of my job is to produce and stage large business conferences and corporate meetings across the country – and around the world – they inevitably ask the same question: “What is your favorite city or event venue?”
