SAVVY LAB.

Many organisations experience challenges in developing consistent visual communications that effectively convey their core message. (brand)Stories are essential in this: the human brain remembers images and narratives better than single facts or figures

In an increasingly fast-changing world, keeping up with new technologies and trends is a challenge. Many organisations find themselves struggling to keep their business story and visual communications relevant. Savvy Lab offers a solution by being a creative hub for growth and inspiration.

 

Our venue, the National Monumental Auditorium, was already a centre for technological innovation in the 1950s. We continue that tradition by organising training courses and events here aimed at strengthening skills and keeping knowledge about visual storytelling and technology up-to-date. This helps organisations and their employees to make and keep their corporate story future-proof, so they can stand out and make a lasting impression on their target audience.

At Savvy Lab, we offer the space to discover new (AI) trends, develop creative skills and strengthen internal creativity within an organisation. This way, we ensure that your story always remains relevant and your organisation is ready for the future.

THE SAVVY WAY OF DOING THINGS.

Our methodology – The Savvy Way of doing things – relies on three essential pillars. These pillars have been established thanks to the knowledge and skills we have gained over the last couple of years. The combination of these pillars and your business goals can ensure that when you are on stage, you make the impact that you have envisioned.

A presentation consists of more than simply the story you tell. Your presentation falls and rises with the way in which you convey that story. The key to success, therefore, is finding the perfect balance between the content of your story, the visual support you rely on (design), and the way in which you deliver the story.

THE ART & SCIENCE OF GREAT PRESENTATIONS

What is the message and who is it meant for? Memorable content gives the audience something to think about. Content which helps the message stick. Your content has to ensure that your audience will keep listening to what you want to tell them from start to finish and make sure that they won’t forget afterwards. What do you want to convey and which striking, distinguishing elements can you highlight to address your audience? You could compare the content of a presentation with a refined dish with well thought-out taste combinations that surprise and amaze you.

Which shape, which tool do you choose to convey your message? Your message becomes even more memorable when you make sure that it is supported by strong visual and physical tools. Eye-catching, obvious and distinguishing (visual) material contributes to telling an unforgettable story. To boost your content, you constantly decide on colours, shapes, image/audio, fonts and all other details that contribute to an impactful experience. After all, a three-star dinner isn’t complete without the perfect presentation on matching china.

How can you convey your message with impact? The ‘delivery’ – literally delivering your message – is the all-decisive factor in the total experience. The most beautiful story in the most gorgeous setting won’t make an impact if the storyteller doesn’t understand that aspect of his profession. The speaker will have to make sure that the story is conveyed in a tempting way and the audience can’t get enough of what he or she is telling them. To do so, a speaker senses the ambiance, the surroundings and the type of person that is sitting in front of them. The presenter will serve the unique three Michelin-star content at the table.

The (presentation) experience should be complete to actually make an impact. To create a total experience, you need to stimulate the sense, evoke emotion and create balance. And all of that at the highest possible level. The last words in or look of your presentation might be the last memory your audience has of you. Potentially, it is the last gift that you can give them. Therefore, you have to make sure that everything is right, from A to Z; that every smallest detail receives the most attention. Then you are handling things The Savvy Way!

Content Design Delivery

Make it memorable.

This methodology is applicable to all aspects of our lives in which we want to make an impact and present ourselves memorably. For example, when you have to give an important pitch presentation to investors, when you have to give a webinar for your students, when you are presenting your plans to your employees or when you reel in an important tender via a livestream. All of these moments rely on your presence, the impact that you make on your audience. Your presence is a present.

You can convey your presence in lots of different ways. We like to do things ‘The Savvy Way’ because that ensures that you distinguish yourself. Everyone can give webinars, but The Savvy Way makes sure, thanks to the right innovative tool and a unique design, that each and every moment of your presence is memorable.

Can we challenge you to approach your presence differently and take it to the next level?

With the hotel sector in our genes, we want to and can’t live differently than with the beautiful rules and values of hospitality. Each guest and each guest moment is unique. That’s how we view our clients. We empathise, think of the best fit every time. That’s how we provide the best and most unique ideas with a stage.

Customarily providing for the wishes of guests requires experience, finesse and the right tools. Our five-star experience isn’t about linen and silver chandeliers, per se. It is about our dedication and effort to create the matching experience. Where your expectations and unspoken desires suddenly get fulfilled and exceeded, that is where we have come into play. In our eyes, that is worth five stars. We’re not a chain that offers the same cup of coffee day in, day out. We like the experience customized to the person, such as how a boutique hotel provides for her guests: small, personally, with attention to the smallest details and with a recognizable face.
