What We Do
- We help you integrate with and leverage social media more effectively, with quick and easy training for your staff.
- We engage your remote audience with a webcast player - a branded viewing environment that offers password protection, info capture, Twitter streams and Facebook photo albums - all in one place. Seeing all the fun turns remote viewers into event attendees!
- We improve the remote audience experience by bringing them into the event. We expand coverage way beyond simple IMAG (image magnification) to tell the whole story, not just the keynote address.
- We have a dedicated team member to ask the remote audience's Q&A questions - so everyone feels heard.
- After the event, rich data from our analytics will tell you what worked where, and what can be improved.
- We will professionally stream your event live to your Facebook page, your YouTube channel, Twitch.tv, your own custom built page, or all of them simultaneously.
- We record every stream for you to share with your audiences or archive.

Q: Can you create short "highlight" videos for YouTube and Social Media?
A: Yes, we can provide an editor onsite to edit your content and deliver short videos within an hour after your stream or webcast.
Q: Do you have a process for testing the stream before the event?
A: Yes, we have multiple stages of testing that we follow before each stream or webcast. Two weeks before the event we require an onsite internet speed test, and one or two days before the event we test a stream with our entire setup, and we do a full test with the onsite AV test the day before (or morning of, depending on schedule) the event.
Q: What is your support model, what hours are you available?
A: In the days leading up to the event you will have the cell number of the project manager and will be able to contact them between 9am-9pm. The on-site Honeycast team will be available for support 24/7 during the event.
Q: Do you have a backup plan or failover system for the stream?
A: Internet and streaming back up solutions are provided onsite. More complex redundancy solutions are included as options in all project proposals. Internet failover is automatic, and our CDN (content delivery network) software will deploy back up immediately if a problem arises.
Q: What kind of analytics can you provide?
A: We always provide metrics on unique visitors, total hits, average viewing session, and geographic data. Depending on the CDN (content delivery network) we can provide different kinds of metrics and analytics. If you have a specific need we can pair your project with the proper CDN to help you achieve your goals.
