We might be one of industries hardest hit by the #pandemic, but we're also one of the most creative and resilient sectors out there.
One such example: Katie Deighton of The Wall Street Journal takes a look at how we're reimagining the humble gift box for a #COVID19 era.
She spoke with our Chief Client Officer, Jerry Deeney - who discussed what #INVNT did with Cadillac for their #LYRIQ debut last month - and others about their approach.

An Insider’s Perspective: Walmart’s Virtual Holiday Meeting
Most of us are familiar with the saying content is king, but context is queen, which speaks to the notion that a piece of content will miss the mark if there’s no context behind it.
With 2020 a year of constant change, the context in which content is shared is more important than ever. From a pandemic to politics, brands must have their finger on the pulse and adjust, and then re-adjust, their content in line with what’s happening in the world.
Our President & CEO, Scott Cullather delves into this concept further with Forbes. Take a read: bit.ly/35XCWv2

Re-thinking your company and/or personal #BrandStory will be essential to success in 2021, explains #INVNT CEO, Kristina McCoobery. Why so?
✅ The world has undergone immense change in 2020.
✅ It’s our key differentiator in a crowded market.
✅ It speaks to a brand's history, purpose, and USPs.
✅ It adds an important human layer.

Thank you, Virtual Events Institute! Being shortlisted in the prestigious Event Tech Live Awards was one thing this year as our industry so impressively shifted to virtual, but to win both the Best Hybrid or Live Streaming Solution and Best use of Technology at a Brand Event categories? We're over the moon! Thank you judges, our team, partners, and of course, client.
