How Event & Media Structures builds for legacy and next-generation media

Live events are no longer designed for a single audience. A moment on site now needs to work just as well for a broadcast camera, a press photographer, a livestream, a podcast recording and a smartphone held vertically by a creator.

At Event & Media Structures, we design and build the physical environments that make this possible. From traditional TV and press to podcasters, influencers, social media teams and content creators, our structures support how media works today and how it continues to evolve.

Legacy media still sets the benchmark

Television, press and broadcast media remain the backbone of large-scale events. They demand reliability, precision and absolute confidence in safety.

TV and press teams typically need camera platforms and towers with clear, stable sightlines, commentary positions and broadcast decks, interview sets and press backdrops, press working areas with power, access and weather cover, and secure compounds for crews, kit and OB vehicles.

This is where Event & Media Structures is widely recognised as a leading specialist. We are trusted to design and deliver camera towers and media platforms for some of the most demanding live environments, where structural performance, visibility and safety are non-negotiable.

These are environments where margins for error are minimal. Structures must be engineered, load-rated and delivered to exacting standards. Our background in event scaffolding, access systems and engineered solutions allows us to build media platforms that production teams can rely on, even under pressure and changing conditions.

Podcast and long-form interview spaces at live events

Podcasters and long-form interview teams now sit alongside traditional broadcast and press at many events. Their content is slower, more conversational, but it still needs to be captured to a professional standard.

Podcast recording requires a different type of space. It needs control within an otherwise busy, high-energy environment.

Podcast zones typically require semi-enclosed or acoustically considered structures, visual separation from crowd noise and foot traffic, seating layouts designed for conversation rather than presentation, discreet lighting and equipment mounting points, and branded backdrops that work visually as well as in audio-led formats.

Event & Media Structures designs podcast and interview spaces that integrate naturally into live event environments without feeling temporary or improvised. These zones are often incorporated into media compounds, VIP areas or brand activations, giving podcasters access to guests while maintaining sound quality and visual consistency.

For multi-day or touring events, Fabox™ modular structures are particularly effective, providing enclosed, repeatable podcast studios or interview rooms that can be deployed quickly, branded cleanly and reused across locations.

The rise of new media and creator-led coverage

Alongside broadcast, press and podcasts sits a fast-growing layer of digital-first media. Influencers, social teams and content creators now play a central role in how events are seen, shared and remembered.

They need something different. Not less professional, just more flexible and visually driven.

Modern media spaces often require visually strong backdrops and feature structures, elevated platforms for crowd and atmosphere shots, branded zones designed for photography and video, covered areas with controlled light and clean sightlines, and fast access to power with intuitive layouts.

These structures must look good from every angle and work across multiple formats, from short-form video to high-resolution stills.

One infrastructure partner for legacy and new media

The challenge for organisers and agencies is bringing these worlds together without compromise.

Broadcast needs stability and predictability. Podcasts need control and comfort. Creators need flexibility and visual impact.

Our role is to design structures that support all of these needs at the same time. We regularly create layered environments where broadcast cameras operate from engineered towers above, press interviews and podcasts take place in controlled mid-level zones, and influencers capture content at ground level in branded spaces, all supported by clear access routes, safe circulation and robust temporary infrastructure.

Where Fabox™ modular structures fit in

For events that run longer, travel between locations, or demand a more architectural finish, Fabox™ modular structures play a key role.

Fabox allows us to deliver semi-permanent media buildings, press offices and editing suites, podcast studios and interview rooms, influencer lounges and creator hubs, and VIP and media hospitality spaces.

The modular format offers clean lines, consistent quality and rapid deployment, while still integrating seamlessly with scaffolding, platforms and bespoke structural elements. This makes Fabox particularly effective for sporting calendars, touring events, exhibitions and brand-led media activations.

Designed for people, equipment and pressure

What connects all forms of media is pressure. Tight deadlines. Heavy equipment. Constant movement. High visibility.

Every structure we deliver is designed around real-world workflows, equipment loads and technical requirements, crowd interaction and safe access, and the realities of weather, lighting and sightlines. Whether it is a live TV broadcast from a camera tower, a podcast interview in a modular studio, or a creator filming short-form content from an elevated platform, the structure has to work first time.

A shared foundation for evolving media

Media will continue to change. Platforms will come and go. Formats will shift.

What remains constant is the need for well-designed, well-built temporary structures that support people doing their job in demanding live environments.

Event & Media Structures provides that foundation. From industry-leading camera towers and media platforms to event scaffolding, access systems and modular Fabox™ buildings, we help events perform across every channel.
