We operate across all forms of moving media, from traditional broadcast television to social media, and news, be this as a live transmission or post produced. These have included coverage at international sporting events around the world, to conferences, music gigs, gala dinners, high profile awards ceremonies and charity events. Our live streaming has become a real focus since Facebook Live came to the fore last year. We were entrusted to manage the first ever live stream onto Team GB’s Facebook page; we have worked with the largest social media sites, the SportBible, UNILAD and Give Me Sport on many occasions with different sports and social events. Additionally, we’re working with many other clients on this exciting development, as well as managing YouTube broadcasts and onto other streaming platforms too.

A part of this contract is to offer an innovative cross platform approach, to the overall presentation and entertainment for our clients around the world. We produce all the international news content plus all the social media videos and clips, no-matter what time of day or where in the world events happen, and we also offer live coverage from certain ports. Similarly, for the International Tennis Federation, we covered the Davis Cup and Fed Cup international ties for the past 3 years, which included live coverage of the all-important draw ceremonies. For Table Tennis England, we recently worked with their management to cover five England men’s and women’s international ties, plus the national championships, live streaming each of them to Facebook, while also producing a new ‘magazine’ style of TV programming for the sport, which first aired on Sky Sports Mix channel. The big international media companies dominate much of the market in the sectors we are in, however, due to their size, they are often no match for the flexibility, the ideas and the service we can offer our clients, as we can be adaptable to the constantly changing situations and demands that our clients need. Music Music coverage has also become an important and enjoyable area where our coverage has extended in recent years. We have organised the complete audio and visual set up for a client at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane, London for the past few years. Last year’s highlight was working with singer Fleur East and this year it’s Louisa Johnson; for Boisdale in Canary Wharf we have covered many events including performances by Jools Holland and other Jazz greats; on stage, there we’ve covered appearances by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kelsey Grammer, Jonathan Ross and infamously, Charlie Sheen! We’ve also been involved in helping to cover the Jazz Festival in London for the past few years. Live Streaming We have been running streaming operations for many years and our directors have been involved with ‘TV on the Internet’ for over 15 years, so we have a tremendous wealth of experience in this area.
