Automotive Event Media Coverage

We plan photography, video, and creator partnerships around your business goals. Clear deliverables, agreed on before we arrive, so the content keeps working after the trailers are loaded.

Plan Your Event Coverage

Event coverage built around your brand

You invest in events because being there matters. It's where customers meet your team, see your products in action, and get a feel for the people behind your brand. We help those connections last through photography, video, and creator partnerships that bring the experience to a wider audience.

Whether you're exhibiting at SEMA or PRI, supporting a team at the Ultimate Callout Challenge or racing in a prestigious event like the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the content you bring home should keep working after the trailers are loaded.

At MetaMartini, we plan event media coverage around your business goals, with clear deliverables agreed on before we arrive. You know what we're capturing, when you'll receive it, and how it fits into your marketing.

SEMA and PRI trade show media coverage

A trade show puts months of work in front of your industry in just a few days. We help automotive brands document product launches, booth activity, and the conversations that explain why their products matter. Trade show photography, product walkthroughs, interviews, and video coverage give your team content for dealer follow-up, social media, and future campaigns.

At events like Scheid Diesel Extravaganza (SDX) and the Ultimate Callout Challenge (UCC), the story runs from the pits to the track. We plan coverage around your vehicles, team, and sponsors, capturing the preparation and people alongside the action. The result is content that helps fans understand what your brand contributes to the sport.

Know what you are getting before the event

Good coverage starts with a conversation about what you need the event to accomplish. That might mean introducing a product, supporting a sponsor, or giving your marketing team fresh material for the next campaign.

Before the event, we put the scope in writing. Together, we confirm:

  • The number of edited photos and videos, video lengths, and required formats.
  • Coverage days, locations, key moments, and people to feature.
  • Delivery dates, including any content needed during the event.
  • Review and revision steps, with a clear point of contact.
  • Publishing responsibilities, creator involvement, and content usage rights.

That plan guides our shot list and schedule. On site, we coordinate with your team and adapt when the schedule changes, keeping the agreed priorities in view. Afterward, we organize and deliver the finished assets so your team can put them to work.

Photography and video your team can use

Your coverage can include:

  • Edited event photography for your website, social channels, and sponsor materials.
  • Short-form videos for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
  • Product demonstrations and interviews with your team, drivers, or customers.
  • Event recap videos and behind-the-scenes stories.
  • Selected content for posting during the event, with turnaround planned in advance.
  • Creative assets for future ads and campaigns, with usage agreed in the scope.

We'll recommend the mix that fits your goals, budget, and event schedule. Content quantities and turnaround times are defined for your project.

Event influencer partnerships with Alex Martini and Dusti LBZ

The right creator helps people understand why your brand belongs at an event. Through MetaMartini, event coverage can include partnerships with our creators Alex.Martini and Dusti_LBZ, bringing an enthusiast's perspective to product features, interviews, and the experience on the ground.

Alex Martinez

Alex Martini

Alex.Martini brings an established voice in automotive and motorsports storytelling, with partnerships spanning Cavallino Classic, Genesis Magma Racing, and Mazda Motorsports. His approach connects the technical side of a brand with the questions enthusiasts actually ask.

Dustin Korth

Dusti LBZ

Dusti_LBZ brings hands-on experience with trucks, diesel performance, and the aftermarket. His approachable, practical style is a natural fit for build features, product explanations, and conversations with the people making things happen at the track.

We plan creator involvement alongside the production scope. That includes who appears, what gets produced, where it will be posted, and how your brand can reuse it. Availability and audience fit guide the recommendation.

Event media coverage questions

Can you cover our booth or team at a larger event?

Yes. We can build coverage around your booth, product launch, race team, or sponsorship. We'll confirm the schedule and access needed to capture your priorities.

Can you deliver content during the event?

Selected photos, clips, and social content can be included for delivery during the event. We agree on the quantities, turnaround, and approval process beforehand so the production plan supports those deadlines.

Can we book media coverage without a creator partnership?

Yes. Photography and video coverage can stand on their own. We can add Alex.Martini or Dusti_LBZ when a creator partnership fits your audience and goals.

How much does event media coverage cost?

Pricing depends on coverage days, crew needs, travel, editing, and creator involvement. Share your event details and priorities, and we'll put together a defined scope with the deliverables and investment outlined.
