Seismic Events partners with Dacast for impeccable and peace of mind live streaming

Seismic’s story began with a passion for streaming. “I streamed a religious event from Ireland to the Vatican in 1997. That was my first stream,” recalls Willie van Velzen, founder of Seismic Events. This early experience laid the foundation for Seismic, which now offers a wide range of services including technical production and consulting.

“We are professionals, and failure is not an option.” Seismic Events’ founder said.

When Uncompromising Quality Meets Simplicity with Dacast

Before partnering with Dacast, Seismic Events faced many challenges with their streaming setups. The process involved a lot of technical complexities and the coordination of many people, from technicians to programmers, which increased the possible points of failure. Each step of the setup also added extra costs, from paying for technical help to covering equipment fees. Willie, Seismic’s founder, knew he needed a simpler and more cost-effective solution. He was looking for a service that could handle everything from small business meetings to big international shows with less hassle. He also wanted to cut down on the number of people involved to reduce the likelihood of errors and eliminate unnecessary expenses. Dacast impressed them with its strong performance and ease of use as well as customization capabilities. 

“Dacast’s flexibility and solid performance were exactly what we needed. We work with trusted partners to ensure every event is perfect”.

Whether it’s working with prestigious clients like the National Concert Hall, streaming events for The American Football from Dublin, or covering multinational events for NASA, Seismic needed to handle projects of any scale with impeccable precision.

The Immediate Impact of Dacast on Seismic’s Operations

Implementing Dacast’s solutions changed how Seismic approached its projects. The ability to set up streams in minutes and the invaluable around the clock support team have enabled Seismic to deliver exceptional value to its clients. 

“Onboarding was easy because you literally create an account and off you go, there’s no real difficulty. Dacast’s team is always there to help, there has always been someone available on chat or at the end of a phone” 

The easy onboarding process, responsive customer service, and the platform’s intuitive features have empowered Seismic to streamline their workflow and focus on what they do best—delivering peace of mind through creative and technically flawless events.

“Dacast has always been very supportive. So in other words if I needed something and let’s say to stream to China or else, I made a phone call and it was done” stated Wille. 

Enhancing Viewer Experience and Data Insights

Seismic Events’ founder has found significant value in Dacast’s multiples and comprehensive features, particularly the recording functionality, analytics, and the ability to customize the player. 

The recording feature ensures that every stream is archived, providing a safety net that captures the event exactly as it happened—a crucial reassurance for clients concerned about potential issues. “We are always recording our Live events at Seismic.” said Willie.

Willie also utilizes Dacast’s analytics to monitor viewer engagement and demographics, gaining insights that help tailor future events for maximum impact. 

The customization options for the player allow Seismic to align the visual aspects of the stream with their clients’ branding, offering a seamless and professional presentation that enhances the overall viewer experience. These tools collectively empower Seismic to deliver a polished, reliable, and data-driven streaming service.

“The Dacast’s paywall has helped us secure many events we wouldn’t have gotten otherwise,” the founder explained, emphasizing its importance for their business growth. 

The paywall feature offered by Dacast has proven to be a game-changer for Seismic Events, enabling them to monetize their streams effectively. By setting up a paywall, Seismic can offer exclusive content to paying viewers, adding a valuable revenue stream that supports their growth. The integration of promo codes allows Seismic to engage more directly with their audience, offering discounts or free access as part of promotional campaigns. This strategy not only enhances viewer loyalty but also provides Seismic with vital marketing data to help tailor their offerings and expand their reach in the competitive event streaming market.
