How we work with your team
Built around your workflow
We join your project as an extension of your team. You keep the concept, the client and the direction. We make the local technical production work.
01
Your brief guides the work
We start from your brief, rider and run of show. We plan technical systems and production workflows; we do not take over your creative concept.
02
Scope and responsibilities are agreed
A written scope lists what is included, what is excluded and who owns each system, decision and line of communication.
03
Local coordination connects everyone
One technical lead connects your team with the venue, our crew and other local suppliers, before and during the event.
04
Your client relationship is respected
Client contact, branding, confidentiality and portfolio permissions are agreed with you in advance when they are relevant.
We describe how we work, not a contractual guarantee. Specific commitments are set out in each proposal.

How the process works

Technical review
We review the brief, venue and rider and come back with questions or a call.
Scope and proposal
A written scope with inclusions, exclusions, assumptions and price.

Recordings and other agreed files are delivered after the event.
Supporting digital services

When an event needs a public page, we can build it alongside the production so agenda, stream and replay links line up.
- Event information, agenda and speaker pages

Common questions
Straight answers to the questions buyers ask most. The full FAQ covers 46 questions.
What does First Impact do?
First Impact is a Mexico-based production partner that plans and runs the technical side of events, live broadcasts and hybrid productions. We work for agencies, producers, event planners and corporate teams, and we integrate into their way of working rather than replacing it.
In practice that means audio, video and LED, lighting, cameras, switching, streaming, recording and the crew to operate them, plus the local coordination with venues and suppliers that makes those systems work on the day.
Do you implement an existing creative concept?
Yes. Implementing an approved concept is a core part of what we do. We translate your brief into a technical scope, propose how to achieve it in the venue, and flag practical constraints early.
We plan technical systems and production workflows. We do not take ownership of the creative concept, the content or the show design unless that is explicitly agreed.

What is the difference between equipment rental and full technical production?
Equipment rental supplies the equipment; full technical production supplies the planning, coordination, crew and live operation that make it work.
Between the two sits equipment with technical operation, where we provide the systems and the technicians to run them while your producer directs. Coordinated technical production adds the site visit, venue advance, signal flow, crew plan and rehearsals under one technical lead. Tell us which you need so proposals can be compared fairly.
How is professional streaming different from a standard video meeting?
A video meeting transmits a webcam and a microphone; a professional stream transmits a directed program. Production adds cameras, broadcast audio, graphics, presentation control, live switching, monitoring and local recording.
Teams and Zoom are still useful as platforms or as a way to bring in remote speakers. The difference is what you feed into them and who is watching the output.

What is the difference between recording backup and live failover?
A recording backup protects the content; live failover protects the live audience’s viewing. They are different measures.
Recording the program locally (often on two recorders) means the content exists even if the stream drops, so it can be published afterwards. Live failover means the stream itself keeps running, for example through a second connection, a backup encoder or a secondary destination. A proposal should say which of these is included.
What determines production pricing?
Pricing depends on the systems, crew and time your event needs, not on a fixed package. The main drivers are the number of rooms and locations, screens and cameras, microphones, streaming and remote speakers, crew positions and hours, and logistics.
Connectivity, backup levels, rehearsals and post-event deliverables also affect the budget. Each service page lists its own pricing factors. If you share a budget range, we can propose a scope that fits it and explain the trade-offs.
How are additional requests and scope changes handled?
Scope changes are reviewed and confirmed in writing before they are carried out, together with any effect on cost, crew, schedule or availability.
Events change, and a proposal can be revised as the agenda, venue or content evolves. For SiGMA North America 2026, the technical and commercial proposal was reworked during planning so the essential production stayed within the approved budget.
How do we start working together?
Send us your brief through the form on this site with what you know so far; unknowns are fine.
We review it, come back with questions or a call if needed, and then prepare a written scope and proposal. Nothing is booked until the scope and terms are confirmed in writing.
