Influencer Partnerships

We are often integrated into branded influencer initiatives, as content creators, to produce advertising quality content to spark engagement across social, web and print platforms. We simultaneously fulfill the content needs for the partnering influencers, the sponsored brands, and the creative agencies behind the project. Our team of on-site editors deliver content in real-time to meet pressing deadlines and light up the social channels. Our work is often re-packaged for marketing campaigns, post-event recaps and award submissions.

Conferences

Team STS has partnered on both the agency and client side of conferences. We have scaled our team on a local, domestic and international level to fulfill a wide variety of content needs for both local and destination based conferences. Often, conferences have an intricate schedule with an overlapping agenda. We simultaneously capture event design, main- stage content, breakouts, sponsor activations, green room and arrivals, all while fulfilling immediate social and PR channels in real-time, for agency, client, supporting sponsors and celebrity guests. We will extract the valuable content for all of your output needs.   

Corporate Event

Editor Events

We partner with various clients in the fashion, beauty, tech and publishing sectors on editor and influencer events. Depending on our client, we shift our content capture approach but are generally focusing heavily on event decor, product shots, guest engagement with product and influencer specific content. These events tend to be held in more intimate settings, and we approach them very discreetly to not affect the guest’s experience. Utilizing the latest silent and low-light cameras greatly assists us in this manner.

Grand Openings

Team STS is routinely contracted for grand opening events on the PR and agency side. We are entrusted to capture environmental imagery prior to event start time, celebrity arrivals, guest interaction and engagement, speeches and special performances, sponsor content, and high-energy / eye-catching content for social and PR use. Our specialty and differentiation lies in our strong storytelling abilities and skillfully splitting our time between guest/VIP capture, engagement and environmental shots. Often the client and agency content needs differ and we routinely scale our team to fulfill both of these.   

Guerilla Marketing

This unconventional, high energy and edgy form of marketing is taking over streets, festivals, public parks, sporting events, beaches, shopping centers and just about anywhere else you can find a large crowd of unsuspecting people ready to be bombarded with free product. It’s creative, interactive, in-your-face, and quickly raises brand awareness. Like pop-up activations, this is a prime time to capture real reactions to the product or services you are pushing and get some real time feedback. We are often brought onto these projects to cover event documentation, and real-time reactions, for press and social media outlets.    

Pop-Up Activations

The exploding trend in these short-lived and temporary spaces allow brand-loyal consumers, and potential customers, to get up close and personal with new products and increase brand awareness. These creative and immersive environments present a golden opportunity to gather valuable consumer feedback and authentic reactions. We partner with brands on these high-energy and fleeting activations for details and environmental shots, consumer engagement, guest testimonials, and overall event documentation.

Fashion Week

We fulfil content needs for production agencies, sponsoring brands, hair and makeup artists, and fashion designers. We are often busy backstage, capturing the magic and energy of these productions, hours before showtime. Depending on our end client, we are routinely focusing on documenting production setup shots, dress rehearsals, hair and makeup, sponsored product placements, designers making final tweaks, and backstage beauty shots. Once the show starts, we are capturing various angles to accompany the usual runway shots.

Roundtables

We partner with a variety of clientele across the corporate and publishing sectors, on roundtable events. We have travelled extensively throughout the United States and Europe documenting many high-profile roundtable events. Our clients trust our discretion and professionalism to capture these events, which are often held in very private and intimate settings. We utilize the latest silent-shooting and low-light cameras to minimize any sound and reduce or eliminate the use of flash. This allows us to capture a wider variety of dynamic images without being obtrusive to the meeting.  Our content is routinely used for publication, PR and social media purposes. 

Festival Activations

Simply put, experiential activations and music festivals are a match made in heaven. As partners on these types of projects, we are able to work with attendees to guarantee results and provide high quality content, which aligns with the sponsoring brands media goals. Having professional quality experiential content is paramount in fulfilling numerous long after the event ends. Our content can be repackaged the for social media, marketing campaigns, media placements and award contests. Some of the festivals we’ve covered include, but limited to: Coachella, Outside Lands, Governors Ball, and Lollapalooza.  

Corporate Portraits

A big part to developing a successful brand identity is cohesiveness in aesthetic. We routinely partner with firms, agencies, and brands to develop and execute a customized look for the employee portrait section of the website. We bring ideas to the table that will deliver a distinct look but stay within brand guidelines. Having consistency here is paramount in making a bold and powerful statement about your organization. The portraits we create not only give consistently to the website, but can also be utilized as profile pics for LinkedIn, professional networking affiliations press releases, speaking engagements, marketing material, and award ceremonies.

Video Services

We take care of all video capturing needs: pre-event details, b-roll, and full documentation of all panels or presentations (with audio capture). For larger projects a site visit is recommended, to fully understand where the placement of cameras will be, and discuss audio needs with the audio visual team. We routinely offer the following videography services: 

Time-Lapse

Time-lapse coverage can be used to capture one or more scenes over a long period of time. We often integrate time-lapse capture to document the event build setup, or add a dynamic shot showing movement within a space or scene. We offer single and multi-camera time-lapse setups, and use high-resolution DSLR cameras for maximum image quality.

B-Roll

Generally a second or third camera approach on larger events, or a standalone method in capturing the overall story of the event, without focusing on audio. B-roll coverage normally focuses on getting a variety of angles during presentations, and guest reactions, while the main camera records from a stationary point. The footage can be integrated into larger edits, to give a more dynamic edit, or be used to assemble a highlight reel.

Main Stage

Main Stage Capture is documenting key note presentations, panels, presentations, performances,  or anything else where one or more cameras are shooting from a fixed position, while simultaneously recording audio. B-Roll cameras can be integrated to get cutaway shots, such as audience reactions or more dynamic angles of the main stage. We work directly with the audio visual providers for audio capture.  

Testimonials

We gather valuable content, from attendees, who have just been immersed in your live event. We uncover answers to pressing questions and get authentic feedback. We ensure the footage we get is edit-friendly and stays on track. This content is often used in conjunction with on-site surveys for market research, as well as, highlight edits and post-event recaps. 

The Studio Booth

The equipment and setup is specifically selected around your dedicated footprint and overall design aesthetic to either make a bold statement or discreetly blend in.
