A Year In Review

Haute Media 2022: A Year in Review

The year 2022 was definitely one year for the books, thanks to our talented team and amazing clients! Our Haute Media team had the opportunity to capture event photography and videography for some once-in-a-lifetime events and make incredible memories that we will cherish forever! Here is a look at our Haute Media 2022: A Year in Review, highlighting a few of our most memorable moments from this past year!

Ice-T at Raising Cane’s

In June, in honor of National Iced Tea Day, Raising Cane’s hosted a very special event. Ice-T, the legendary musician and “Law and Order: SVU” star, donned a Raising Cane’s uniform to interact with and serve customers as a fun surprise! Not only did Ice-T make and serve fresh Iced Tea, but guests were able to watch the Actor in action while he filmed a commercial for the popular fast-food company. Ice-T was also happy to take customer orders at the cash register and drive-thru window, and pose for many photo ops! It was an irreproducible moment for not only guests, but our Haute Media team as we got to witness the delight on all the customer’s faces. Not only are these moments special for us, but the photos are extremely valuable to Raising Cane’s as a brand who were able to utilize the images in marketing campaigns and publish on social media!

Elvis Movie Premiere – Harkins Hunka Burnin’ Love Party!

June was a busy month with our Haute Media Team also having the incredible opportunity to photograph a special screening party of the new Elvis movie at Harkins Theatres in Scottsdale, featuring a surprise appearance from the leading-man, Austin Butler, and director, Baz Luhrmann, themselves! As soon as Baz and Austin stepped into the theater, the crowd went wild and we could not wait to capture photos of these two and the ecstatic fans! We were pretty star-struck ourselves and we couldn’t help falling in love with these two.. We love looking back on these incredible images and remembering what an amazing day that was!

OBAP 2022 ReYOUnion Conference

In August, our Haute Media team captured photography and videography at the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals (OBAP) 46th Annual ReYOUnion Conference. OBAP creates pathways to success through educating youth, communities, and professionals; with the vision of “shaping an aerospace industry as diverse as the people we serve.” The three-day conference was held here in Phoenix at the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass to recognize 46 years of OBAP history and salute those leading the way for the future! The event included a social mixer, gala, professional headshot station (set up and ran by yours truly), and a special guest appearance by the United States Secretary for the Department of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg. Our Haute Media team was honored to work with such an incredible organization!

Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove 2019-2021 Kitchen Design Contest Summit & Gala

In October, we were fortunate enough to pack our bags and head to Nashville, Tennessee; where our Haute Media team captured photos for the Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove: 2019-2021 Kitchen Design Contest Summit and Gala. The Summit and Gala were held to highlight and honor the pioneering professionals, who with their outstanding creativity and dedication that have pushed the boundaries of kitchen design! The three-day event was a balance of both work and play with an awards dinner & gala plus excursions into the Heart of Music City! Our Haute Media team traveled alongside the Kitchen Design Contest finalists to the beautiful Cheekwood Estate and Gardens, the historic Belle Meade Planation, the iconic Graystone Quarry, and the world-famous Grand Ole Opry! Capturing these sights were definitely some of our top highlights of 2022!

In November, our Haute Media team also traveled to San Diego to capture photography for the Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association’s (STAFDA) 46th Annual Convention and Trade Show. STAFDA represents the best companies and leaders in the construction/industrial supply chain. Their 46th Annual Convention and Trade Show was a three-day event with highlights that included an opening party at the San Diego Zoo; educational workshops from seasoned economist, Alan Beaulieu; and wilderness adventurer, Bear Grylls, as the keynote speaker! Our Haute Media team loves to travel to capture photography and videography for events, and it was such a treat to see all of the memories they made during their travels.

Enhance Your Brand with Photography and Videography

Enhance Your Brand with Photography and Videography

Think about all the content you consume on a daily basis as you scroll through your social media feeds. Photos and videos are at the forefront of every successful social media platform. Photos and videos are essential tools for anyone looking to market themselves or their company. When it comes marketing your business, the content you share can make or break your brand. The key is to enhance your brand with photography and videography. Professional photography and videography is guaranteed to enhance your online presence and attract more followers!

In fact, a study from PR News discovered that high-quality, appealing visual content receives 94% more views than text-only marketing. When used correctly and especially when used together, both photos and videos will capture your audience’s attention and encourage engagement in a way that is beneficially different from traditional print media. The study from PR News underscores the importance of elevating your brand by utilizing both photography and videography in your marketing and advertising campaigns.

At Haute Media, we specialize in both Photography and Videography. Our team of professional photographers and videographers capture both commercial projects and events of all kinds from corporate conferences to community fundraisers. We can’t stress enough how important it is to capture both photography and videography at your events. Considering the amount of time and effort you put into planning your events, it is evident that you want to show off what a successful job you’ve done, and what better way than with stunning professional photos and high-quality videos! Not to mention, capturing photo and video is a great way to document your events and can be helpful for future planning. Plus, the more photos and videos taken, the more content you have to work with! All of the photos and videos collected can be utilized across different platforms and repurposed to fit different mediums. This gives you plenty of brand content to use for years to come!

Western Wealth Capital’s “We’ve Got Your Back” Event 

In July, our Haute Media team captured both photography and videography during the 7th annual Western Wealth Capital (WWC) “We’ve Got Your Back” event held in Phoenix, Arizona. The “We’ve Got Your Back” program was created to help school-aged children living in WWC’s multifamily properties get started off on the right foot. More than 15,000 backpacks have been donated by WWC to help students have a successful school year and make their communities a more positive place. The event took place at Arches Apartment Homes, where our Haute Media photographer and videographer captured all of the excitement including live testimonials and footage of the families enjoying their backpacks, the live DJ, face painter, and even a snow cone truck!

Enhance Your Brand with Event Photography

Event photography is essential to any successful business. Check out these awesome photos our Haute Media photographers captured at the Western Wealth Capital “We’ve Got Your Back” event! The irreplaceable candid shots captured during this community event wonderfully showcases WWC’s brand image and values.

Videography is a versatile and creative medium that can express your brand personality, as well as your company values. View the video we produced below from all the event footage including live testimonial interviews that our Haute Media videographer captured on site during the Western Wealth Capital “We’ve Got Your Back” event! Specifically, this video highlights the overall event and promotes the company’s mission and community outreach.

By understanding that their event was a perfect opportunity to capture engaging photo and video content, Western Wealth Capital collected important footage that is being utilized in marketing campaigns for print, social, digital, and more! These timeless photos and videos communicate ideas and values of the brand in a unique and positive way that differs from anything that could be conveyed by traditional print media.

5 Tips For Event Speakers To Captivate An Audience

5 Tips For Event Speakers To Captivate An Audience

Capturing the attention of your audience should be the goal of any event speaker. It can be intimidating to get a live audience to pay attention, especially at a loud event with many distractions and multiple speakers. The goal to differentiate oneself from other speakers and leave a lasting impression can cause immense pressure. A successful speaker has more to contribute than just the context of their words. Factors such as stage presence, personality, and props all play a role in how well an audience remembers your performance. It is important to take a step back to understand all of the elements outside of a speech that contribute to your overall success. Following these 5 tips for event speakers will surely help you captivate your audience and leave them with fond memories of you and your event for years to come!

5 tips for an event speaker
A. Tomica Adams, Board Vice Chair of Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals (OBAP)

5 Tips For Event Speakers To Captivate An Audience

1. Set The Stage 

Small details such as lighting and sound may seem obvious, but these minute details will contribute to the fluidity of a speech and make you look and sound your best. Make sure to double check preparations before heading onstage. It is also important to fill the background in a visually engaging way. Whether with a nameplate, corporate logo, or banner; include visuals that help the audience know who you are and what your business is. When guests are looking back at photos and/or videos, the company logos or event banners will help them recall details of your speech and event.

2. Use Appealing Visuals/Props

Many people retain more information with the assistance of visuals and props. The use of photos, graphs, statistics or props that correlate with the information verbalized in your speech will enhance the overall experience of your presentation. It’s important to note that visuals such as slides, PowerPoints, or videos should not deliver your speech for you. Instead, they are there to compliment your speech and offer a visual representation of your words.

3. Use Big Movements 

Standing in the same spot and position for the duration of your speech will likely cause you to lose your audience’s attention. As an attendee, it is not easy to give your complete undivided attention during a long motionless and monotonous speech. So it is up to you as the professional speaker to captivate your audience! Fill the stage with your voice and movements. Talk with your hands, raise your arms at key points, and fluctuate your voice to minimize any lulls in your speech. Having movement in your speech provides variation and will help keep your audience’s attention. Grand gestures not only keep your audience entertained, but also make for great candid photos to look back on!

4. Understand Your Audience

When preparing for any speech, it is always important to first understand who your audience is. This will equip you with the knowledge of how to best interact with your listeners, what visuals and props you should include, what jokes would resonate best, and what technology to incorporate. Tailoring your performance based on the exact audience creates a more memorable experience!

5.  Interact With Your Audience 

Don’t be afraid to interact with your audience. Ask questions. Make your way into the crowd. Maintain direct eye contact. If they are wearing name tags, use their names when addressing them. These techniques will liven up any crowd and capture their attention. By connecting with your audience, you add more dimension and humanity to your presentation.

Benefits of Reaching a Virtual Audience

Benefits of Reaching a Virtual Audience 

One of the main benefits of reaching a virtual audience is being able to target multiple markets at any one time. Virtual and hybrid events have incredible potential for growth in audience engagement. Live streamed virtual events can be attended by anyone from any location, allowing you to reach wider demographics and grow your overall customer base.

If you’re planning a live in-person event, incorporating a hybrid platform will allow you to increase your overall reach and gainmore attendees. Hybrid events combine both live and virtual event elements to create a unique and engaging experience while providing greater flexibility for your audience. Hybrid event models also help ensure that no one misses out on your amazing event due to travel or scheduling restrictions.

Broadcasting your live event via a virtual platform opens many doors by giving you the chance to connect with a larger audience than could ever be possible in person. A virtual audience is able to actively participate in your live event from their mobile devices or desktop computer in real time. They can be anywhere in the world and still attend and most importantly engage in your event. Virtual engagement tools you can incorporate in your hybrid events include live polls, Q&A sessions, and real-time audience chat for remote participants.

For event planners, corporate professionals, and business owners, it is important to understand the benefits of reaching a virtual audience and how to utilize virtual event components to enhance your overall attendee experience.

What are the Benefits of Reaching a Virtual Audience?

  • Target multiple markets at any one time
  • Expand reach to a global level 
  • Increase participant engagement with mobile accessible networking features
  • Provide greater flexibility for your attendees

Whether you’re hosting a virtual or hybrid event, there are several benefits of reaching a virtual audience. Successful event planners hire professional videographers to handle their virtual event video production to ensure a seamless production process and a polished presentation for the final event.

You can count on our professional video production team to:

  • Choose the right technology and virtual event platform to support the experience you aim to deliver
  • Handle all aspects of the live and virtual production including on-site audio/video requirements and remote speaker management
  • Deliver broadcast-quality content and provide support for A/V production

Feeding Matters 9th Annual Community Fundraiser Raised Over $200K Virtually!

Feeding Matters hosted their 9th Annual Community Fundraiser event in November and Team Haute was honored to produce their entire virtual event for the second year in a row! Reaching a virtual audience was a major benefit for Feeding Matters. The event reached a worldwide audience and raised over $200K virtually! 

Feeding Matters is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families who care for children with pediatric feeding disorder. Every year, Feeding Matters hosts a community fundraising event to raise awareness and help improve the system of care for pediatric feeding disorder.

Feeding Matters’ Annual Community Event unites families, clinicians, donors, and supporters to celebrate advances in PFD and raise much-needed funds to accelerate identification, ignite research, and promote collaborative care for children with PFD.

Hosting a virtual event allowed Feeding Matters to reach a global audience, some as far as South Africa, Italy, and Brazil! Attendees gathered virtually and were able to participate and communicate in real time via the live audience chat feature, allowing for a strong sense of community.

You can view the entire virtual event online at feedingmatters2021.hautephotovideo.com and to learn more about the work Feeding Matters is doing or to make a donation, please visit feedingmatters.org.

Reaching a virtual audience was a major benefit for Feeding Matters’ Annual Community Event and can make a strong impact on any event if done properly.

How To Optimize Your Hybrid Event

How To Optimize Your Hybrid Event

Learn how to optimize your hybrid event by following these pro tips!

A hybrid event combines a live in-person event with virtual online components. When it comes to planning a hybrid event, it is all about blending the “live” in-person and “virtual” digital channels to create a seamless shared experience for your entire audience. The following tips provide a great starting point to pave the way towards successful hybrid events.

Identify Your Event Goals 

Before you can begin to optimize your hybrid event, you should identify your goals and objectives. Start by determining your target audience, the event type/scope, and the type of design and engagement you are going for.

Identify the event type, size and experience you wish to create for your attendees – will you host a 30 minute webinar, a 1 hour single stream event, a full day event with breakout sessions, or even a 2-4 day event with multiple streams and sessions?

Choose The Right Virtual Event Platform 

Once you have determined your target audience and event goals, the next step is choosing the right technology and virtual event platform to support the experience you aim to deliver. In order to create an engaging experience for your both your “live” in-person attendees and your “virtual” remote participants, it is important to choose a virtual event platform that meets all of your needs. There are numerous event platforms that offer various digital features to engage your audience both on-site and online. 

When choosing your virtual event platform, a few components to look for include: 

  • High Quality Streaming Capabilities 
  • Custom Branding
  • Live Audience Engagement (i.e. Live Chat, Polls and Q&A) 
  • Social Hubs or Virtual Lobbies
  • Second Screen Capabilities
  • Ease of Use/User Friendly 
  • Data Analytics to measure the success of your event with advanced reporting

Second screens help bridge the gap between in-person and virtual audiences by encouraging cross-channel participation. The first screen at an event is the stage and main presentation screen. The second screens are your mobile devices (i.e. tablets or smartphones) that are used by audience members to see and interact with the presentation content. Second screens allow your audience to participate in presentation slide sharing, note-taking, polling, survey and Q&A participation, games, quizzes, and more!

Plan Your Production To Optimize Your Hybrid Event

After you have determined which event platform is best for you, it is time to starting planning and putting together all the pieces of your production. 

First, make sure you have assembled a professional media production team in order to handle all aspects of the live and virtual production including on-site audio/video requirements and remote speaker management. Give yourself the peace of mind in knowing you’ll have a team of professional to deliver broadcast-quality content and provide support for A/V production. Plus, as media professionals we can offer multi-location productions to bring speakers at various sites together in a single shared experience. There is never a reason to cancel sessions for presenters or panelists that cannot attend physically, we can bring them in remotely!

Next, choose a theme and determine what content you want to deliver.  Keep in mind, it is important to create a mix of live and on-demand digital content that is easy for viewers to find and follow. Offer a variety of content including welcome videos, keynotes, panels, and breakouts.

Incorporate audience engagement by enabling live chat, Q&A, polls and more to encourage your audience to interact and communicate with one another. You can engage an even larger audience by sharing your stream on your social media channels (i.e. YouTube, Facebook Live, LinkedIn Live, etc.) this will help you amplify your hybrid event by spreading the word and reaching a wider audience, allowing viewers from around the globe to tune in and participate!

Live chat tools allow your audience to interact from anywhere in the world. During our live broadcast of the Feeding Matters 8th Annual Community Event, the live audience chat was a fan favorite!

If you’re asking yourself how to optimize your hybrid event, follow these tips to help you prioritize your event framework and choose the right virtual platform that will allow your attendees to network with each other and optimize your overall event experience!

4 Tips For Planning A Successful Corporate Event

Planning a successful corporate event is a great responsibility that requires plenty of preparation. Corporate events range from conferences, trade shows and conventions to award ceremonies, networking, team building events and more. Whether you’re hosting a large incentive reward retreat or an exclusive company gathering, here are 4 great tips that will help you succeed in planning any corporate event!

Choose A Fun Theme

In the early stages of planning your corporate event, it is important to select a unique theme that will reflect your brand and resonate with your guests. 

Select a theme based around your event objective and make it memorable by incorporating creative decor, pops of color, festive food and drinks, and of course your logos and branding. 

If you’re hosting a corporate party or team building event, consider a Casino Night or a Western Barnyard BBQ!

Pick A Great Location 

In addition to themes and decor, another important element in planning your corporate event is choosing the perfect location! 

Phoenix is home to some incredible event venues including a wide variety of large resorts, the Phoenix Convention Center and smaller spaces for exclusive corporate gatherings.   

When choosing a location or booking a venue for your event, a few important factors to consider are size/space, budget, and convenience. Ideally, the location should be easily accessible to your guests, which will help promote a strong turnout.  

Be sure to take advantage of the seasons! If weather permits, outdoor events are always a guest favorite and give you endless possibilities for activities (not to mention offer beautiful views for your event backdrop)!

Include Interactive Entertainment and Activities 

Whatever theme and location you decide on, make sure to also include interactive entertainment and activities to keep your guests engaged! Choosing the right type of entertainment will help ensure your event is successful and memorable. 

Live music is always a great way to attract your audience and you can also wow your crowd with different performances from comedians, magicians, artists, and more!

Trade show exhibits are a great opportunity to show off your products while interacting with your guests. During conferences and conventions, include breakout sessions and hands-on workshops that focus on audience participation. You can even turn a corporate meeting into your own game show – the possibilities are endless when it comes to corporate event planning!

Promote Your Event

After putting together the perfect plan with a unique theme, location, entertainment and activities, it is time to spread the word and promote your event! 

Getting the word out to your guests early in advance and sharing the details online is important to ensure a strong event turnout. 

To promote your event, send your entire contact database a custom newsletter or e-blast with the event invitation and details. Also share it on your blog, website, and social media channels. You can even create a Facebook page or a custom landing page on your website for event promotion!

Whatever platform you use to reach your target audience, make sure your communication is clear and includes all of the important event information, plus a few sneak peek details to get everyone excited about what’s to come. 

Planning and executing a corporate event is no easy task but keeping these 4 tips in mind during your preparation will help you host a successful and memorable corporate event!
