Confused? Maybe this video will help
Excited yet? Here's a breakdown of how we can save you money and super-power your brand!
Stop stressing out about venue selection, multiple vendors and potential f*ckups!
In the old world, every time you brought people together for a meeting or event, it didn't get captured on camera. So that content never was able to be shared with anyone who wasn't there.
Even if you had the foresight and budget to hire a film crew to come out to the hotel ballroom you booked, they would need a bunch of gear and you'd be paying through your nose plus suffering through setup, mic checks and then tear-down post-show. Yikes.
Oh, and if you wanted to throw a couple of guest speakers, VIP audience members or colleagues onto camera - more planning, custom setups and billing from multiple vendors. Double Yikes.
StartWell is a one-stop shop that combines venue + media production, out of the box.
Our venues are wired with top-tier gear which is run by our in-house media production team, and we have multiple private studio sets - all pre-rigged for on-demand shoots.
When you book venues at StartWell, you pay a single rate per day that includes AV and technical (stage) production! You don't need to plan for or worry about infrastructure; just show up ready to present and start talking - our team can record presentations and handle a videoconference stream for you.
Now you can host large meetings and events whenever you want, and turn them into content capture opportunities that are affordable and easier than ever.
Our film sets are perfect for anything from talking heads to conversational video podcasts.
