John Sweeney and Brave New Workshop Creative Outreach comedic corporate communications and video services

Message Delivery

The point of just about every single event a Brave New Workshop speaker has been to is this: get a message across in a memorable way. That message doesn’t have to be something convoluted. Often, it’s as simple as, “thanks for your hard work, enjoy the evening”. We take your professional, very serious corporate communications—whatever they are—and surround them with memorable comedy. We use the same creative processes we use to write our mainstage shows and perform original, message-driven comedy that keeps its witty edge, without raising a single lawyer’s eyebrow.

Video/Electronic Media

Today, very few messages are delivered without some form of electronic media as part of the process. Even though we get our inspiration from the stage, we’re not luddites. As a matter of fact, in 2009, we were awarded with two bronze Telly awards and a finalist nod in the ABA’s Stevie Awards for videos we created. Whether you need video incorporated into your live meeting, want an internal training video or need something closer to a viral video or even a “mockumentary”, we’ll work with your business to produce original material that’s on target, memorable and SFW-LMAO-funny.

Custom Sketches and Scriptwriting

We use the same talent that writes for, and performs on, the Brave New Workshop mainstage to create unique scripted entertainment and speaking material. So, obviously, that same smart, funny writing is what you can expect here. We work closely with you from the start to make sure we translate your corporate communications into something that’s not only funny, but memorable too.

Master of Ceremonies

Just like they do for Live Entertainment shows, a Brave New Workshop emcee does more than just announce the next speaker. We'll show up, set the mood, get the crowd warmed up and then step back and let you bask in the limelight. As host, Caleb McEwen, for example, can help reinforce your messages and communications while he's serving up the high-energy, comedic commentary he's known for.

And what about those executive introductions? Life may be great in an ivory tower, but it's easy for leaders and visionaries to seem like they're out of touch. We'll sit down and work with you to create more personal, engaging introductions that help the audience see and appreciate their leaders in a new way. For example, as humans with a good sense of humor.

Internal Messaging

Not everything we do has to be for an upcoming meeting or event. We can work with you to create and execute other kinds of internal corporate communications in a memorable way, too. New initiative? Product? Policy? Something else you need to generate some excitement for? Whatever it is, if you want people to remember it, we can work with you to make sure “it” gets noticed and generates the buzz and excitement you need it to.

Within moments of the video going out comments captured: This is absolutely one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen! The video is excellent!! What a fun and clever way to build the momentum and excitement...
