The final of the Zima Startup Awards was held in London in February 2020. The awards bring together startups from Russian speaking communities and potential investors. Zima relies on high-quality visual media to promote the event, which in turn gives important exposure to the companies entering the competition. This year, they invited Splento to cover this important event.
How the Zima Startup Awards Used Splento
As well as the awards and jury decisions, the evening also had talks from successful entrepreneurs and presentations from each finalist. Splento captured it all for Zima’s event reporting and future promotion.
Fast delivery of the photographs from the whole evening - not just the highlights. Splento also had a hotspot for taking attendee photos - a great bonus for next-day sharing across Zima’s social media platforms and website.
A 30-second highlights video, a summary of the whole event, was also produced by Splento’s video editors. This gave a great overview of the evening, giving viewers a real taste of all the key moments.
