A BlackBerry Case Study
NCompass International, a Hollywood-based global marketing and event-production firm, stages large brand-activation events worldwide. With dispersed offices, heavy email volumes, constant travel and noisy, fast-moving live events, the company needed a reliable, immediate way to coordinate teams, manage timelines and monitor social media in real time.
NCompass standardized on BlackBerry smartphones, BBM and BlackBerry PlayBook tablets (with BlackBerry Bridge) to centralize communication, calendar management and social monitoring. The solution delivered rapid, reliable staff messaging during stadium-scale events, efficient mobile data use while traveling and seamless coordination of complex launches — enabling smooth execution of a three-day, 10-initiative event with 500 journalists and deployment of about 20 PlayBooks to production and business teams.
