Transforming Events with a Video Ecosystem: Branding, Sales, and More

At in-person events, every moment is an opportunity to impact the audience and strengthen the brand’s presence. Creating a video ecosystem allows you to integrate different types of visual content throughout the event, from the arrival of participants to the presentation of products and services, optimizing engagement and understanding of information.

In this post, we will explore how to develop a cohesive ecosystem with on-hold videos, branding videos on totems and stands, institutional videos and sales videos, ensuring that your brand is presented clearly and impactfully at every stage of the event.

1. On-Hold Videos: Building Anticipation and Preparing Your Audience

On-hold videos are a great way to create a welcoming and engaging experience for attendees as they arrive. They help set the tone for your event and prepare your audience for what’s to come, while also making the most of the time before the official start.

Strategies for on-hold videos:

• Dynamic countdown content: Create an atmosphere of anticipation with stylized countdowns and compelling visuals that align with the event's theme and visual identity.
• Essential event information: Take advantage of this time to inform the public about the schedule, locations of interest and important rules, preventing them from wasting time searching for this information in other ways.
• Preview content: Show short teasers of speakers, products or services that will be presented at the event to generate curiosity and engage the audience even before the official start.

2. Branding on totems and stands: visual engagement and interaction with the brand

Totems and stands are great places to promote interaction with the brand in a practical and visual way. Including videos in these spaces makes the experience more dynamic and efficient, allowing the public to get to know the company, products or services better in a visual and direct way.

How to integrate videos into totems and stands:

• Brand presentation videos: use short, impactful videos that reinforce the brand image on totems and stands, with visual storytelling, colors and graphics that resonate with the event's identity.
• Product demonstration: at stands, create videos demonstrating the features of the products or services offered in a practical and objective way. This makes explanations easier and generates greater interest among participants.
• Interactivity with QR codes: add QR codes to totems or around video screens, allowing the public to access additional information on their smartphones, such as digital catalogs or exclusive promotions.

3. Institutional videos: strengthening brand presence

Institutional videos are essential for communicating a company’s values, mission and trajectory at in-person events. They are an excellent way to build an emotional connection with the public, reinforcing credibility and creating brand identification.

How to use institutional videos at the event:

• Display in high-traffic areas: position corporate videos in areas such as reception areas or lounges, where the public can absorb the company's messages naturally, without rushing or being overloaded with information.
• Integration into lectures and presentations: when starting or ending presentations, institutional videos can reinforce the company's alignment with the purpose of the event, in addition to highlighting the brand's differentials.
• Emotional approach: focus on narratives that show the company's positive impact on the market or on social causes, increasing public engagement with the brand.

4. Sales videos: making it easier to explain products and services

Sales videos are a powerful tool for events, especially exhibitions and trade shows, where agility in communication is essential. By using videos, you can simplify the presentation of products or services in a clear and visual way, making it easier to understand and, consequently, speeding up the decision-making process by the customer.

How to use sales videos at events:

• Clear and objective demonstration: videos that show products in use or services being applied on a daily basis are highly effective. This allows the audience to visualize the benefits quickly, without needing long explanations from the sales team.
• Customer testimonials and case studies: Include short videos with testimonials from satisfied customers who attest to the effectiveness of your products or services. This type of content instantly builds trust and credibility.
• Technical details: for complex products, use videos that explain the technical characteristics in an accessible way, with graphics and animations that illustrate how it works in an easy-to-understand way.

Sales videos can be displayed on stands, totems or even sent digitally during the event, ensuring that all participants have access to the message clearly and efficiently.
