Sales kickoff photography
A sales kickoff has one job: send people home believing this is their year. We photograph the stage, the awards and the energy in the room, so the feeling keeps working after everyone has flown home.
Kickoffs and global meetings we have shot
Taboola SKO in Chicago and in Bangkok, and Cato Networks in Budapest and in Paris.
What a kickoff needs
- The executive keynote, including the room reacting to it
- Every award winner on stage, with a clean picture of each
- Regional and team photos, organized around the schedule
- The evening party, because that is what people share
- Sponsors and partner areas, if you have them
- Pictures ready the next morning, while the team is still talking about it
Why it is harder than it looks
Kickoffs run on tight schedules, with awards announced quickly and lighting built for the video screen, not for the camera. We go through the run of show beforehand and know who is about to walk on before they do. When several things run in parallel, a second photographer makes sure no breakout or team goes undocumented.
Common questions
When do we get the photos?
The edited gallery arrives the next day, and on multi-day events in rounds. If you want pictures on Slack or LinkedIn during the event, we can bring an on-site editor as a paid add-on.
Can you shoot headshots of the sales team at the same event?
Yes, and it is a good use of having everyone in one place. We set up a portable studio, at five to ten minutes a person.
Do you work outside Israel?
Yes. Our kickoff work includes Chicago, Bangkok, Budapest and Paris, and we have shot company events in more than 20 countries.
How many photographers do we need?
One for a single stage. Two if there are parallel breakouts, an expo area or team photos running alongside the main stage.
