03 — The client

IronMarkets produces Pave/X, one of the paving industry’s biggest stages — an event where content either lands in real time or doesn’t land at all.

The challenge
A packed multi-day show with no room for post-production lag
Social had to run live to build buzz while attendees were still on the floor
Everything needed client approval before it could post
Exhibitors, demos, and education sessions all competing for coverage
The approach

We managed the content pipeline before the show — building and getting approval on the queue so it was live-ready on day one — then produced and posted from the floor: event recaps, demo-area coverage, education-session cuts, and podcast-style interviews, edited on site and out the same day.

Three days of a trade show, as it happened.
