SecureLink are experts at designing, delivering, managing and supporting leading cyber security solutions. With over 15 years of experience, they are trusted by some of the world’s largest IT brands. We have worked with SecureLink in the past to produce merchandise for events and marketing campaigns. We were the first people they thought to come to for help with Security Bootcamp 2019, where they host their IT vendors in an exhibition format to present and promote their services to their customer base.
Their initial reason for their contact was for ‘Goody Bags’ with useful giveaways however during our initial meeting they asked if we would support them in the event management. They wanted us to organise the shell scheme and all graphics for the exhibition ensuring that all vendors had to do is turn up on the day. They could see instantly the benefit of involving us, as we can take care of all aspects from design, production, delivery and implementation. It was evident they wanted this event to be ‘next level’ and remembered much like you would a wedding. They wanted their audience engaged throughout the day and by understanding their business vision and values we could create on point branding to suit with some creativity to compliment the theme.
After proposing many ideas of different kinds of shell schemes and stand offerings, SecureLink decided on a freestanding box structure created using silver anodized Octanorm system with aluminium components. This structure included rear and side walling with white printed foamex infill panels and a 500mm deep fascia around. We took a site survey to ensure measurements and space along with the proposed floor plan would cater for their 8 Platinum and 7 Gold sponsorship stands.
Upon our site visit we realised that the customer wanted to have a main presentation area in the main hall. This was challenging as they needed two presentation theatres running simultaneously so all vendors could be accommodated within the allotted time schedule. We contacted an AV contractor to provide 2 wireless PA systems whereby delegates could listen through headsets removing any distraction to presenters and the audience.
We took care of liaising directly with the 15 vendors, ensuring the artwork was in the correct format and all in time for the deadline. We left no stone unturned or unbranded should I say, we even branded the small things like champagne glass covers for the Champagne reception, sponsored wine bottle labels and a branded sweet cart. SecureLink staff wore branded embroidered polos and corporate branded shoes laces which we produced for them to wear in corporate coloured VANS.
SecureLink wanted certain things unveiled at certain points, they wanted a giveaway which was much like a favour you would get at a wedding which we took care of. The ‘Goody Bags’ were all given out with the New collapsible Stojo Silicone Cups in a cotton tote, their very own branded Pringle mini pot, webcam covers, and high quality square pens. These were sourced, branded, fulfilled and delivered all by us and we provided event management services on the day to ensure the event went seamlessly.
Which moves me nicely onto the bar area, where there were branded beer mats and drink runners which looked spot on. If you have an event and need help we are your perfect Branding Agency. We will do as little or as much as you like leaving you to impress your clients while we take the stress out of event management and showcase your brand and drive the desired results.
Testimonial from SecureLink
Working with The MPC for our Security Bootcamp event was the best decision I could have made. What started as an initial enquiry about branded products, snowballed (in the best possible way) into The MPC providing full exhibition creation, organisation, set-up, management and eventually take-down. And this was in addition to the very many branded products they did end up sourcing, or creating in-house to make sure every idea I had dreamed up came to life. Emma and Paul carried out all tasks with the utmost of professionalism and enthusiasm , and went above and beyond. They were a delight to work with and I would genuinely recommend them to anyone looking for event management or branded products.
