EISSI Awards

The EISSI Awards is an annual gala event – a hot ticket on the calendar for members of the Surveying industry.

The event includes a formal sit-down dinner, awards presentation and entertainment feature for 350 guests.

But the event doesn’t just begin the night-of.

For months beforehand organisers are connecting with attendees through multiple channels including social media, direct mail and print magazines.

Maintaining a dialogue with guests from the previous year’s event and forming new connections prior to this year’s event is a sure way to maximise engagement.

The benefit of being a one-stop shop for event design, content creation, media production and AV means two things for our clients; peace of mind and continuity.

As well as designing and running the technical production for this event, our media team was tasked with designing all of the collateral – from pre-event comms through to all content on the night.

The event collateral took multiple forms and was to be distributed across various channels. It included a variety of;

• print (magazine, invitations, brochures)
• digital (web, direct mail, social media, stills, animations, videos)
• event content (awards packages, voiceovers, wallpapers, screen animations, set design)

Managing the full production as well as content creation means our AV and media teams could collaborate together with the client on a design that would inspire all elements.

Our media team created a design that would invigorate the event brand, flowing through the year leading up to the event, on the night and beyond.

Collaborating on the design direction right from the beginning, coupled with our experience in the technical production of the event, meant the content was informed and fit for purpose. And ensured it would look spectacular across multiple viewing platforms.

Managing the technical production as well as content creation for this event meant our AV and media teams could collaborate together with our client on an inspiring design to influence all the various elements.

Our media team created designs which invigorated the event brand, and the content was both informed and fit for purpose.

As for the tech… it was a showstopper. Here are some of the highlights.

Portrait screens

For something different, we designed the visual content in portrait mode. Projecting onto three portrait screens created a sexy backdrop for the awards ceremony and was an unexpected visual feature for attendees.

Going portrait also gave us more real estate to work with, allowing full portrait IMAG and lending itself to the content design.

Colour-matched LED tubes

Wireless LED lights come in many forms and they’re always a winning element at any event – no matter the size.

We used a range of tubes and uplights to complement the LED backdrop as well as to create an entrance feature that lead attendees to a media wall. All of them were specially matched to the event’s colours, reinforcing the event brand.

Multi-layered content

Having awesome content is only awesome when it’s displayed and switched over seamlessly.

We created content that was multi-layered, so background visuals could loop continuously whilst in the foreground we could switch between text, logos, camera feeds and video content.

Keep it professional by executing the small details well.
