Case Study: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation reaches global audiences with Telescope's live streaming and production services

Philanthropic Facebook live stream series for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Goalkeepers

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation partnered with Telescope to produce a series of live stream events, including the Goalkeepers Global Goals Awards and Conference, conversations with Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, and the annual foundation letter. Their challenge was to deliver engaging, interactive live content across multiple platforms for a broad global audience. Telescope used its Live Studio product along with Facebook Live Streaming, YouTube Studio, and full production services to support the foundation’s live streaming needs.

Telescope managed on-site production, custom graphics, real-time comment moderation, and multiplatform distribution, while also integrating a donate button directly into the live streams so viewers could contribute in-stream. The result was a polished, interactive streaming experience that helped the foundation reach and engage audiences at scale through social platforms. Telescope’s work supported the successful delivery of high-profile live events, although no specific numerical impact was provided.
