“Our best SLM so far!”
Richard, CEO
“It was so amazing, best visual experience I had in events, including those not managed by me!!! Great job”
Paule P
“OMG this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool!!! I love it.”
About the AI avatar video
“100 people filled in a survey following the event, and the visuals and slides were rated mostly excellent by all!!! The client also really appreciated how thorough you all were, with no mistakes, grammar issues. Internally, their feedback is that they’ll only do this again if Emperor is on board”

When CMDs happen

CMD REVENUE BY MONTH, ALL YEARS
51%of CMD revenue is billed Sep to Nov
EVENTS STARTING BY MONTH
29 of 69events started Sep to Nov
A second wave runs February to May (21 events). Even without Sandoz's £79k leadership meeting, Sep to Nov is 46% of CMD revenue, so Q4 outreach is what fills autumn.
