Most town halls are a webcam and a slide deck. Attendance is mandatory, attention isn't. The difference between a leadership update people endure and one they remember is production: a set that looks considered, sound that's clear on a phone in a warehouse, graphics that reinforce the message, and interaction that proves leadership is listening.
We produce town halls from our Chichester studio, from a pop-up studio in your own building, or with executives joining remotely on managed links. The show goes into whatever your organisation already uses — Teams town halls, Zoom, your intranet player — with captions for accessibility and reporting so you know who watched. National retailers have trusted us with weekly colleague broadcasts to tens of thousands of staff.
What a VSE town hall includes
Studio or on-site set
A branded, pre-lit set in our studio or built in your office; presenters coached to camera in a 20-minute session.
Produced feed into your tools
Broadcast-quality programme into Teams, Zoom, Vimeo or your intranet, tested on your corporate network in advance.
Live interaction
Moderated Q&A with questions on screen, polls with results live, and a moderator working with your comms team.
Captions & accessibility
Live captions (human or automated), BSL on request, corrected captions on the on-demand version.
Executive support
Teleprompter, confidence monitor, rehearsal, and a floor manager for the leaders on stage.
Reporting
Attendance, watch time and engagement against the previous town hall, plus the on-demand numbers.
Guides for this kind of event
Presenting to camera: a room of one
Executives who command a conference hall often freeze in front of a lens. How to set presenters up to look natural, read well and take direction on a streamed event.
Live interaction: Q&A, polls and chat without the chaos
Interaction is why people choose live over on-demand. It's also where most virtual events look messiest. The workflow that keeps it sharp.
Accessibility: baseline, not bonus
Captions, BSL, audio description and accessible platforms — what good looks like, what it costs and how to build it into the production.
Teams, Zoom, YouTube, Vimeo or a dedicated platform? An honest comparison
The common delivery options compared by what matters to organisers: who can watch, what they can do, how much control you have, what it costs and how well it plays with a production gallery.
Town hall questions
Can you stream into Microsoft Teams?
Yes. We deliver a produced feed into Teams town halls, live events or meetings, and we test it on your network beforehand.
How much does a produced town hall cost?
A studio-based town hall with full production typically runs £2,000–£5,000+VAT. Regular series attract a reduced rate.
Can our executives present remotely?
Yes — on managed broadcast links with a technical check in advance, appearing in the same branded frame as the studio presenters.
Do you provide the studio?
We have our own studio in Chichester plus a partner network, or we build a pop-up studio at your premises.
