5 reasons why virtual live illustration is the best thing since sliced bread

It’s official! Here at Illustrated Live we’ve officially entered our virtual era! 

Since the dawn of time (in our little doodle-liverse, that is), we’ve been banging our bongos about being an eco-first company, specialising in digital work where we wave our magic pencils from afar to bring you the best results. So we’ve made it official… 

Virtual, hybrid, remote - whatever you wanna call it - we’re ready to commit! Introducing Illustrated Live, your ultimate online graphic recording service! 

Yep, that’s right! Everything we do, we now do solely via the power of the internet! Now, let us tell you why this is quite literally amazing news for YOU… 

Gimme a hybrid-five!

The Top 5 reasons why virtual live illustration is great

1. It saves the planet!

Did you know that travel to events makes up around 80% of the carbon footprint of the events industry? Yuck. We've ditched the needless travel and overnight stays. Eco-friendliness ALL THE WAY, baby. Also, no trees are harmed in the process of drawing your event!

2. It saves the pennies!

Trains, planes and hotels ain't cheap. We're based in the UK and we LOVE our global clients. Let us help you remotely! We cover lots of different time zones, and as long as you have an internet connection, we can be there virtually. It really is that convenient.

3. Less distraction

The best part of live illustrations is the pictures on the screen, not the human drawing them, right? When you beam the illustrations onto a big screen, you have full control over when the illustration is displayed. YOU control what people are concentrating on. No more distraction and no more wandering eyes to see what that random person is drawing on a massive piece of paper in the corner. We’re still right there with you, drawing away… but it’s more orchestrated when we’re remote. The event and our visibility are in your hands while we are tucked away behind the scenes.

4. Flexibility and usability

The digital illustrations we create are available straight away and usable AFTER the event too (unlike those big illustrated boards at traditional conferences 😴). Our clients have created blog posts, social media content, explainer videos, and slideshows, added our illustrations to emails and websites, printed the illustrations on big walls and one even made a jigsaw out of them! The options are endless and the work is everlasting.

5. Engage the masses!

Yum yum, everyone’s favourite buzzword! Seriously though, engagement is serious business, and achieving it couldn’t be easier with visual storytelling in the mix.

Events come and go, but illustrations are here to stay! That wow factor isn’t going anywhere, and you can use it to grab attention and spark interest in what your organisation has been up to! Show folks what they’ve been missing. Our illustrations are always a big hit on LinkedIn, just sayin’.

If beaming us into your next event sounds like a smart move, then why not reach out for a chat to see if we can make something happen?
