Virtual Event Production

"Bringing Business Vision into View"

Experiential Marketing in a Virtual Events World

EVI is a global leader in Virtual Event Production.

Travel and social distancing realities have, at least temporarily, altered the landscape of event marketing. The times present new challenges to companies who rely on face to face gatherings to accomplish critical aspects of their business strategies. 

In some ways, the forced adoption of purely virtual events is an extension of a trend that has been underway in recent years. Over the past decade, with conferences attracting expanded global audiences, EVI and its clients have employed live streaming of events as a primary way of serving a broader constituency. Hybrid events, the combination of live and virtual attendance, have become part of the industry lexicon. 

Even before 2020, top to bottom virtual events have gained tremendous viability in situations where traveling large numbers of attendees is simply not practical or economically justifiable.

So, in spite of current restrictions, EVI is fortunate to already have virtual events solutions in place that enable companies to continue their experiential initiatives and capture much-coveted mindshare for brands, messages and products. Rather than retreat, leaders across all industries are quickly embracing the new normal and moving to purely virtual events models. With over three decades of producing landmark experiential events, EVI knows how to engage audiences across all communication platforms…including virtual events. We see this specific tool as a vital way to build community in a time when the need for connection is greater than ever.

Corporate Events Management & Production

"Bringing Business Vision into View"

As one of the world's top experiential agencies, EVI views Corporate Events Management & Production as a highly integrated component of a corporation’s overall strategy and business communications plan.

Too often, producers feel compelled to storm in with a slew of trendy ideas, without taking time to listen or contemplate how an event will impact a company’s overall mission.

From our view, the first step towards successful corporate events management and production is a careful study and understanding of a company’s strategic objectives. We immerse ourselves into the people, the vision, the products, the services, the history, the culture…How does a company want to present itself, to be perceived by its audience…what behaviors are they trying to reinforce or modify…what are the desired results?

We develop relationships with an “all-in” approach that positions us as a direct extension of your team, enabling us to maximize the event investment by making sure that every production decision is strategically and creatively on point. We team-up with marketing, branding, communications, advertising, product development, technical, finance…all of the departments that comprise a company. That business fluency is a major reason why many clients choose to work with EVI as their long-term experiential agency on a year-round matrix of events.
