Corporate product launch event with LED video walls and dramatic lighting for product reveal

Case Study

Corporate Product Launch Event

Theatrical Product Reveal with LED Video, Dramatic Lighting & Broadcast Audio

Atlanta, GA
March 2025
Corporate Product Launch
Overview

Client & Event

Enterprise technology companies invest heavily in product launch events because the reveal moment shapes market perception, media coverage, and sales momentum. The production environment must create genuine audience anticipation and deliver a reveal that matches the significance of the product investment. A flat or technically underwhelming launch undermines months of product development and marketing preparation.

Single-day corporate product launch event combining executive presentations, theatrical product reveal sequences, live demonstrations, media interactions, and post-reveal networking. The event format requires seamless transitions between corporate presentation mode and high-energy theatrical moments — demanding a production approach that can shift from boardroom polish to concert-level impact within a single lighting cue.

Project Scope

Full product launch production including main stage LED video wall with content management, theatrical lighting design with programmed reveal sequences, broadcast-quality PA system, confidence monitors, product display lighting, demonstration area AV, media riser with dedicated feeds, and post-event ambient production for networking.

Client Objectives

Client Objectives

Product launch events serve a singular purpose: creating a moment that shapes market perception. The production must generate genuine excitement without appearing manufactured, provide media-ready content quality, and sustain audience engagement through the demonstration and networking phases that follow the reveal. Every production decision either amplifies or diminishes the product's market entry.

Create a theatrical reveal moment that generates genuine audience excitement and emotional response
Provide broadcast-quality production that delivers media-ready content for press coverage and social channels
Support executive presentations with confidence monitors, teleprompter, and seamless slide integration
Ensure accurate product display lighting with high color rendering for photography and demonstration
Enable smooth transitions between presentation, reveal, demonstration, and networking programming formats
Maintain production quality throughout the full event duration including post-reveal networking and media interactions

The Challenge

Theatrical Precision Meets Corporate Standards

Product launch events occupy a unique position in corporate production — they demand the dramatic impact of theatrical staging combined with the precision and polish of executive presentations. The reveal moment must feel genuinely exciting without appearing contrived, and the transition from corporate keynote to theatrical reveal must be seamless. A poorly timed lighting cue or a missed audio stinger can deflate the exact moment the entire event was built around.

Theatrical reveal sequences requiring precise coordination between lighting, video, audio, and physical product unveiling
Seamless transitions between corporate presentation mode and high-energy theatrical moments within the same show flow
Product display lighting requiring careful color rendering to ensure accurate product appearance under stage conditions
Media integration with dedicated camera positions, clean audio feeds, and lighting optimized for broadcast and photography
Demonstration area AV requiring independent audio zones and focused lighting separate from the main stage environment
Audience energy management through production pacing — building anticipation before reveal and sustaining momentum after
Contingency planning for live product demonstrations where technical failures would be highly visible

Strategic Approach

Strategic Production Approach

Product launch production requires reverse-engineering the entire show flow from the reveal moment backward. The reveal is the production's reason for existing — every preceding element must build toward it, and every following element must sustain its momentum. Our strategic approach begins with designing the reveal sequence first, then working outward to create a show flow that naturally escalates audience anticipation. Lighting progressions subtly shift color temperature and intensity throughout the presentation phase, audio beds build energy incrementally, and video content pacing accelerates — all converging on the reveal cue.

Reveal-first production design where the critical moment drives all preceding show flow decisions
Progressive energy escalation through lighting temperature shifts, audio bed intensity, and video content pacing
Pre-programmed show files with single-cue transitions between corporate presentation and theatrical reveal modes
Redundant signal paths for all reveal-critical systems with tested failover procedures
Media integration planned from initial production design to ensure camera positions and lighting serve both live audience and broadcast
Rehearsal protocol requiring full-sequence run-throughs with all technical elements before presenter walk-through
Our Solution

Integrated Product Launch Production

Rocket Productions designed an integrated production environment that seamlessly bridges corporate presentation and theatrical reveal formats. The approach centered on pre-programmed show files that manage the transition between modes — corporate lighting, audio levels, and video content shift to theatrical mode with a single cue call, ensuring the reveal moment delivers maximum impact without visible technical transitions. Every system was designed with redundancy for mission-critical moments, because a product launch only happens once.

Venue & Logistics

Venue & Logistics Considerations

Hotel ballroom product launches present specific infrastructure considerations that differ significantly from convention center or arena environments. Ceiling heights limit lighting positions, power distribution may require supplementation, and ambient room characteristics must be overcome rather than leveraged. The production design must create a theatrical environment within a space not originally designed for dramatic reveals — transforming a hospitality venue into a stage-worthy production space.

Ceiling height constraints evaluated for lighting fixture selection, LED wall trim height, and theatrical sightline optimization
Power distribution assessed against production requirements with supplemental distribution for lighting and video systems
Room acoustics analyzed for PA system design ensuring speech clarity and musical impact within ballroom reflective surfaces
Ambient light management planned to eliminate window bleed and overhead lighting interference during theatrical sequences
Load-in coordinated through hotel freight access with equipment staging areas and build sequence optimized for ballroom configuration
Product demonstration areas positioned for optimal traffic flow with independent power and AV separate from main stage systems
Live Execution

Live Event Execution

Product launch execution requires a show caller with theatrical timing instincts managing a production team prepared for both corporate precision and dramatic impact. The presentation phase demands invisible production support — clean slide advancement, consistent lighting, and clear audio. The reveal transition demands theatrical precision — a coordinated sequence where lighting, video, audio, and physical elements execute simultaneously. The post-reveal phase demands sustained energy management through demonstration and networking programming.

Insights

Production Insights

The reveal moment should be rehearsed as a complete sequence at least three times with full technical elements — timing nuances that seem minor in rehearsal become obvious to audiences in real time

Progressive energy escalation through lighting and audio during the presentation phase creates natural audience anticipation without requiring explicit verbal build-up from the presenter

Product display lighting should use high-CRI fixtures rated above 90 CRI to ensure products appear in accurate color under stage conditions — standard stage lighting can significantly misrepresent product color

Media feed quality should be verified with the press team's actual recording equipment before the event, not just tested against production monitors

Post-reveal networking production is frequently under-planned — the ambient environment should feel intentionally designed, not like the show simply ended and the lights came up
