Press & News Conferences
Doing it Right through experience and selection of the right equipment and production personnel.
Press conferences provide an instant means of mass communicating a message to the media for release to the public.
Press conferences offer a unique opportunity to relay to the public a common message with bite.
There is only one chance to get it right, and the sophistication of the presentation can vary greatly from a simple single podium to a massive entertainment quality multimedia show. The value of the press conference has to be judged by the value and income potential of the announcement.
To support you, I provide all of the technical support needed to assure that your press conference will be technically perfect. It means that all corporate imagery will be in place and that the press will get the message you choose to convey. It also means accommodating dignitaries, government officials, corporate officials, employees, and the general public, as well as the media.
An ever increasing use of press conferences is spin control. These presentations must be carefully prepared and supported with the appropriate materials. I can provide all audio-visual needs from the basic audio distribution to sophisticated multi-media presentations to reinforce the message and provide the press with stunning visuals. I also work with you and your client's print and internet departments to make sure the message presented in audio and video media matches handouts, internet content, and other support materials.
Press conferences must be carefully managed. Having strong technical support allows your firm to focus on the message, support of your client, and making sure the press is properly accommodated. As part of this service I often provide technical support for speech training and testing. We provide video and audio recording equipment, and playback facilities to allow the speaker to train and see their appearance before their press conference. This training gives the speech maker an opportunity to evaluate their message, appearance of sincerity and make sure it has the impact required to accurately deliver the message.
Press conferences can be planned well in advance or be implemented within hours or overnight. I have the skills and understanding to bring these events to fruition and can provide the technical facilities and crew within hours when required. All you have to do is provide the venue, or I can offer a selection of potential sites.
