Content for Detroit events

Festivals, galas, conferences, openings and brand activations. We promote it before, cover it during and turn it into a year of content after, with clips ready the same night.

What we do

How we help

Every project is scoped to what you need. These are the pieces we deliver most often.

Pre-event promotion

Teasers, creator posts and paid social to sell tickets and fill the room.

Live coverage

Ground video, photo and aerials, with a same-night highlight clip. See event videography.

Recap films

A 60-second recap for sponsors and next year's ticket sales, plus a longer cut for the website.

Sponsor deliverables

Logo-visible clips and stills packaged for each sponsor's own channels.

Speaker and stage capture

Clean audio and multi-angle coverage for conferences and panels.

Post-event content

A library of clips and photos scheduled across the months that follow.

Before, during and after

Most event content is an afterthought: a photographer shows up, and a gallery arrives two weeks later. We treat the event as a campaign. Promotion fills the room, live coverage puts it in front of people while it is happening, and the recap sells next year and rewards sponsors.

Detroit events we have covered

Eastern Market After Dark, Educators’ Night for the Detroit Cultural Center Association, the Detroit Grand Prix paddock for Pratt Miller, Knight Foundation programming, Kackleberry Farms’ Fall Fest and dozens of openings and galas across Metro Detroit. See recent work.

Sponsors notice

Sponsors renew when they can see their logo in content that people actually watched. We deliver a package per sponsor, ready for their own channels, so your team has an answer before they ask. Tell us about your event.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

How fast can we get clips after the event?

The first vertical clip goes out the same night. A polished recap follows within a few days, and the full library within two weeks.

Can you fly a drone over a crowd?

Not directly over people without the right waiver, and we plan the flight so we do not need to. We shoot the crowd from the edges and above adjacent space, and we check for temporary flight restrictions around stadium events.

Do you handle photography and video at the same event?

Yes. A typical event gets a videographer, a photographer and a drone pilot, coordinated so nobody misses a moment.

Can you help sell tickets, not just cover the day?

That is the part most crews skip. We run teaser content, creator posts and paid social ahead of the event and can put it in front of our own Detroit audience.
