A long-term production partner: Statistics Finland

Statistics Finland 160v hybrid production.

When a public organisation needs a production partner for all kinds of broadcasts - from small briefings to big celebrations - trust is built over years of work.

Statistics Finland is Finland's official statistical authority, which produces statistics and data describing the state of society. The organisation employs several hundred experts, and internal communication covers a wide range of events throughout the year.

Solid Stream has been carrying out Statistics Finland's live productions since 2023, and the cooperation has included regular news broadcasts, an annual awards event and a large-scale staff party.

The long collaboration has enabled the same partner to support the client in a wide variety of productions - both recurring broadcasts and one-off large-scale events.

Situation at

The size and nature of internal transactions within Statistics Finland vary considerably.

The needs of the same organisation include, for example:

  • Regular information broadcasts to the media.
  • Annual awards ceremony.
  • Large staff events with hundreds of participants.

With such a wide range of events, flexibility is required from the production partner. Every event is different, but the technical implementation must work reliably every time.

When the content varies but the quality must not, knowing your partner is invaluable.

Information to the media

Regular information production is the basis of this cooperation.

Solid Stream has been implementing Statistics Finland's information broadcasts since 2023 on the subscriber's own Microsoft Teams platform. The broadcasts are part of the organisation's external communication - a regular channel through which Finns are kept up to date.

Repeated collaboration means that production does not start from scratch every time. Technical solutions, procedures and contacts are familiar. This translates into smooth operation in practice.

Reliable repeat transmission is more than technical performance. It is part of an organisation's communication culture.

Stars of the year - Awards broadcast

As part of the annual collaboration, Solid Stream will carry out live production of Statistics Finland's Stars of the Year awards ceremony.

Statistics Finland's employees are rewarded in the broadcast. It is a celebration within the organisation, where recognition and community are at the forefront.

In such a broadcast, the role of the production is to support the atmosphere of the occasion - not to emphasise itself. The technical execution makes the event clear and valuable to follow for all participants.

160th anniversary - big production, big moment

Statistics Finland's 160th anniversary celebrations were of a different scale and nature from the usual information broadcasts.

About 700 Statistics Finland employees participated in the celebration. Not everyone could fit into the auditorium, so the event was held in two large rooms at the same time: the live broadcast was also transmitted in real time to the second room.

Production included:

  • Live broadcast from two sites simultaneously.
  • Light installations for the event.
  • DJ services.
  • Sound systems in several rooms.

This type of production requires careful coordination before the day of the event. When the hall is filled with hundreds of people and the programme is going according to plan, the technology has to work without interruption.

In a big party, the technique is successful when no one pays attention to it.

Why this cooperation works

Cooperation with Statistics Finland is varied and ongoing.

With the same production partner for both day-to-day broadcasts and major events, your organisation has one reliable contact for everything. No need to go out to tender for each new production.

A familiar partner knows the organisation's policies, facilities and technical requirements. This reduces the workload of each individual production for the organiser.

When the production partner knows the client, the organiser can focus on the content.

Result

The cooperation with Statistics Finland shows that Solid Stream can be a reliable partner for an organisation with a wide range of recurring production needs.

When production works well:

  • The messages reach staff clearly and reliably.
  • Awards ceremonies look dignified and work technically.
  • Large parties run smoothly, even with hundreds of participants and several venues.
  • The organiser does not have to worry about the details of the broadcast.

Solid Stream's role is to ensure that the technology supports the way Statistics Finland communicates with its staff - regardless of the transmission.

Thank you for your trust and great cooperation!
