21st century business is largely dominated by corporates. Corporates, during the course of their lifetime, conduct several types of events. The basic difference between a corporate event and events of other types is that corporate events largely tend to be rather restrained and sober in nature. However, an exception to this rule may be product launches and road shows which involve a lot flourish and generous display of rich visuals accompanied by music.
This said, the basic approach to organising an event remains
the same. The planning, coordination, set-design and other aspects of event
planning are similar to other events.
One key thing to keep in mind while organising a corporate
event is the communication or brand philosophy of the corporate. Corporates,
these days, have detailed manuals called brand manuals which provide guidelines
for the usage of logo, colours and tone and manner of communication. The
agency’s representation of the company should be as per the guidelines specified in the manual to maintain
consistency in communication across all media.
A huge amount of money and the reputation of the corporate are
at stake, therefore, every care should be taken to avoid any mishaps.
Few of the type of corporate events are listed below:
- Launches: Refers to launch of a product or service. This may
be an indoor or outdoor affair depending on the circumstances that surround
product launch.
- Media Events: An event
where the corporate addresses the media. This could be for several reasons such
as product launch, change in policy, takeover etc.
- Dealer Meets: These are organised to get the dealer community
together, communicate and update them about new services or products and also
to build on corporate-dealer relationship.
- Conferences: Get-together of the executives of the corporate
to discuss issues, strategy, planning etc.
- Mall Promotions: Products or services are promoted in malls having
large number of footfalls. A welcome desk or set is created, depending on the
needs of the situation. The client and agency have a representative each to
attend to their respective duties.
- Client Relationship Management Initiatives: Events to boost
corporate-client relationships. Information is disseminated and consumers’
grievances are addressed. It may also involve interactive activities to
encourage consumer participation.
- Awards & Theme Nights: Events conducted to felicitate employees
for outstanding contribution. It is generally followed by a theme night such as
‘Bollywood Night’ which may feature Bollywood songs or acts.
- Road Shows: Done to introduce, promote or popularise a product or service.
They are conducted by an emcee and may be accompanied by music and dancers
