Made Manufacturers Feel Seen
at the NMA’s 20th Annual Conference
The Challenge
The NMA’s annual Manufacturing Conference had been captured by staff and volunteers with phones, leaving Darla Price and her team without the professional content needed to market to sponsors, celebrate attendees, or promote future events.
The Process
Orbit Creative photographed the full day - keynotes, panels, workshops, networking, and 200+ attendees. 169 photos and time lapse videos, optimized for social and email, delivered within one week.
The Results
The NMA now has a professional photo content library for 2026 marketing and beyond. Photos were shared with directors, sponsors, speakers and attendees, many of whom passed them along internally and used them in their own LinkedIn posts and on their websites.
"Pro photography elevated the event and gave us marketing content for years to come, and it was a great way to make members and speakers feel seen and included." - Darla Price, Executive Director, NMA
