Stream UK at Frankfurt Motor Show

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

On 15 September 2009 Lexus held a press conference at the Frankfurt International Motor Show to unveil its new groundbreaking LF-Ch full hybrid premium company concept car. This car heralds a new dawn for Lexus as its younger, bolder and more dynamic than any other Lexus car before.

Two members of the Stream UK team were in Frankfurt at the event to encode the press conference and stream it live using the Stream UK content delivery network (CDN). This was another example of Stream UK’s ability to perform on an international job in short time frame. Stream UK’s team setup, managed and oversaw the live streaming of the event while keeping to a specified budget.

The press conference gained worldwide attention receiving over 650 connections from 26 countries worldwide. An on-demand version of the press conference is available HERE

The survey allows us to understand and act on customer satisfaction and loyalty information and remain competitive in our industry. In this quarter’s survey we also added custom questions to gather feedback on our core products.

27 of our clients participated in the survey and we were pleased with our results. Feedback included: “I can’t think how they can improve their services.  I have been using Stream UK for about 4 years now on various projects and they have always been professional and never let me down.”  James Howell, Kingshurst and “Overall Gadi and his team have been excellent…” Chris Catling, Delta Tre

All of our clients that participated went into the draw to win a bottle of champagne and the winner is Jonathan Birch from ecancermedicalscience

Thank you to all our clients who took the time to participate in the survey.
