Five Inspirational Corporate Events

Innovating Corporate Storytelling: Dearborn Mid-West’s 75th Anniversary

For Dearborn Mid-West's 75th anniversary, our team integrated technology with corporate storytelling to reflect the company's leadership in designing and installing material handling systems. Our goal was straightforward: produce a highlight video that not only celebrates Dearborn Mid-West's rich history and achievements but also acknowledges the dedication of its employees.

Adopting a creative approach, we moved beyond the traditional hype video format. We offered a genuine look into the company's core operations by weaving in employee testimonials and capturing b-roll footage within the constraints of a manufacturing environment. Our use of a professional two-person ENG crew, the Canon XF405 camera, and the integration of historical photos and in-house stock footage provided depth and authenticity to our storytelling.

This project succeeded in its balanced representation of Dearborn Mid-West’s past and present, facilitated by our technical skill and thoughtful narrative strategy. Incorporating educational aspects into the video added value, making it informative and emotionally engaging.

At Creative Day, we are equipped to assist other companies in creating similarly impactful stories. With our expertise in advanced video production, historical content integration, and narrative development, we can adapt this successful technological and storytelling integration model for various corporate events. Our approach aims to celebrate significant milestones and meaningfully share a company's journey, values, and vision.

Green Initiatives in Event Planning: MSU's Sustainable Commencement

‍

Michigan State University's Spring Commencement 2021 showcased our commitment to sustainability in event planning. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, MSU and our team organized an outdoor commencement that complied with health guidelines while ensuring the celebration of student achievements remained intact.

This initiative was notable for its strict adherence to pandemic safety measures and its focus on environmental sustainability. By conducting 53 distinct ceremonies, we maintained a controlled outdoor setting that significantly reduced the event's environmental impact. Our approach demonstrated a thoughtful balance between safety and environmental responsibility by utilizing outdoor campus spaces, effectively managing attendance, and offering dedicated online streams for remote viewers.

The sustainable practices employed during this event significantly bolstered MSU's image, highlighting the university's dedication to environmental care and community well-being. Such efforts have positively influenced perceptions among students, faculty, alums, and the broader community, potentially setting a new benchmark for future academic ceremonies.

We advocate for integrating sustainable practices in event planning at Creative Day. These practices can be achieved through digital communications, live streaming to decrease the need for physical presence, and energy-efficient equipment. Our team is ready to help organizations adopt these practices, aiming to minimize environmental impact while leaving a positive and lasting impression through their events.
