Oscar & Associates have been reaching out to associations and show organizers with a number of services either through newsletters, website or one on one direct outreach.

These are:

Promoting and educating the technology and services of our live streaming.
Offering complimentary digital access to photos and videos on our Libris digital asset management (DAM) platform. While usually a fee based service that we provide clients, during the time away from the office, recently we have found that teams have not had reliable access to their visual assets. Here is a quote from Sr. Marketing Manager Chela Piacentini of Informa when she found out about our offer - This is fantastic! you have no idea how much this will help. Sifting through the hi-res pics on our VPN has taken me upwards of an hour… just to find one pic! Learn more about Libris. Schedule a demonstration call by visiting http://trylibris.photoshelter.com/oa/
Promoting the need for fresh content and outreach as offices start to re-open and the importance of keeping visually engaged with press, members, attendees etc. with the attached newsletter.
Editing clients photo and video assets to create sizzle videos of prior years show for them to distribute to exhibitors/vendors/attendees/press etc. to stay engaged and promote 2021 with optimism.
