Annual events for associations can be great for member engagement, but also crucial to build out long-term marketing strategy libraries.
AANA holds their biggest event of the year to supply Continuing education courses, networking opportunities, trade shows for the profession, governing meetings for the association, and many more events. Simply to showcase how grand the event is, Axiom produces all photo and video event coverage for members to enjoy. Beyond the event’s general coverage, it is a great opportunity for the association to create higher level messaging with specific members that are strategic in their role.
Summarizing the largest educational event for nurse anesthesiology in two minutes is no small task, let alone in 30 seconds. But that’s exactly what we set out to do with the sizzle reel, accompanying social cuts, and other content for long-term marketing strategies while covering AANA’s annual congress.
We conducted 18 interviews and captured over 400GB of b-roll in our 5 days of shooting. Now you might be thinking, “That’s a lot of footage. Maybe too much.” But there are benefits…
Oh yeah, we delivered photos too, 2,266 to be exact. 111 of those were headshots of AANA members and staff. The rest were eye-catching imagery of speakers, event spaces, and attendees having the time of their lives. In the tradeshow space, we had a headshot booth for members and staff to get their headshot done. Now, no one has an excuse to use some cropped out group shot if they speak at these events.
All that to say, our photographers covered a lot of ground.
Sharing a good summary of the event is so impactful to help next year’s event, but we also know how important exceptional imagery is for a long-term marketing strategy. Now there’s a great collection of engaging imagery to use for:
Another visual element we created for AANA is custom motion graphics based on their brand guidelines. These allowed us to highlight important messaging and impressive statistics related to their event. They also increased each videos’ production value, along with their overall entertainment value, helping maintain viewers’ attention throughout.
