How do you choose an influencer suited for live streaming?
+
Not someone who can read a script well, but someone who can answer an unexpected question in their own words. Live has no edit, so hesitation or a vague answer comes through directly. We check how much someone speaks in their own words in everyday posts, and how they handle comments, before casting.
Can you handle streams from storefronts or event venues?
+
Yes. Streaming from a venue carries more energy than a studio stream because the atmosphere comes through. Connectivity and audio conditions are harder to predict, though, so we plan around a site visit beforehand and redundant equipment. We can also design this alongside an event campaign.
How do you prepare for the risk of something inappropriate being said live?
+
We agree in advance on topics to avoid and how to handle sensitive questions. During the stream, both the brand and our team are present and can redirect if needed. The most effective safeguard, though, is screening out higher-risk candidates at the casting stage.
Can the stream archive be reused?
+
Yes. We don't let a stream disappear once it's over — we clip the strongest moments for posts or ad creative. Building usage rights into the contract in advance means more usable material comes out of a single stream.
