The brief

Organisations need event coverage that does more than prove the event happened. Summit photography has to work for press the same evening. Launch coverage has to feed social channels before the audience has left the room. Gala photography has to look like the brand - not like a stranger with a camera.

SBT20 provides directed event photography across summits, product launches, conferences and galas: shot to brand standard, edited fast, and delivered in the formats each channel actually needs.

The approach

Every assignment starts before the event: a shot list built from the communications plan, a brief on the people and moments that matter, and an agreed delivery schedule. On the day we cover keynotes, delegates, partner branding and the detail shots most coverage misses.

Selects are graded to the client’s brand guidelines and delivered within 24 hours as standard - with same-evening priority sets for press and social where the moment demands it.
