Office Opening or Product Launch
Office openings and product launches: the ceremony, the reveal, the guest list and the photos you will use afterwards. We plan it and run it.
These two events look similar and work differently. A product launch is built around one audience and one reveal: get the media or the trade partners in the room, show the product properly, and make sure the demo works. An office opening is part ceremony, part open house: the guest of honour, the ribbon or the lion dance, then tours, food and conversation.
We plan both backwards from the moment people will remember, and around the rules of the building or venue you are in.
For launches we start with the audience, because journalists, distributors, customers and staff each need a different format and a different measure of success. For openings we start with the guest of honour’s diary and the building management’s rules, which between them decide your date and what the ceremony can include.
Quotes are itemised, with our fee separate from event costs. Where media are involved we will tell you plainly whether the event needs press at all, because most corporate launches do not.
Launches: start with the audience
Media want a story, a spokesperson, a photo moment and a press kit with price and availability. Trade partners want pricing, stock dates and hands-on time. Customers want a reason to turn up and an easy way to buy. Staff want to know how to sell or support it. One event rarely serves all four.
Openings: start with the building
Most offices sit in managed buildings, and the building’s rules shape the event: lift and loading bay bookings, what can be fixed to walls, fire safety for décor, noise limits for lion dance drums, whether the lobby can be used, and visitor registration for your guests. We get those in writing early, then build the ceremony to fit.
What's included
- Format and audience plan. Who the event is for, and what counts as success afterwards.
- Venue or premises. Sightlines for the reveal, power for demo stations, and the building’s setup rules confirmed in writing.
- The moment. Reveal choreography, ribbon cutting, plaque unveiling or lion dance, including eye-dotting and the plucking of the greens.
- Guest of honour. Arrival, protocol, briefing notes and the programme their office will ask for in advance.
- Demo and AV. Sound, screens, lighting, demo stations, and a recorded backup of the demo in case it fails live.
- Media, when it is warranted. Press release under embargo, press kit with photos and specifications, interview slots and a briefed spokesperson.
- Guests. Invitations, RSVPs, registration, tours in small groups, catering with dietary needs handled.
- Coverage. Photographer briefed on the key shots, video, and a livestream when people cannot travel.
How the planning runs
- Brief. What is launching or opening, for whom, and by when.
- Date. Set around the guest of honour, stock and demo units, or an auspicious date if that matters to your management.
- Rules. Building management or venue: hours, lifts, noise, décor, security.
- Programme. A run sheet built around the reveal or the ceremony.
- Vendors. AV, décor, lion dance troupe, catering, photography, each briefed from one spec.
- Rehearsal. The demo on the actual equipment, the walk-ons, the reveal.
- The day. We run setup, receive the guest of honour, call the show and clear up.
- After. Photos, press kit follow-up, and leads passed to whoever chases them.
