Straight Street handles the AV for press conferences and media events across Ontario: clear sound at the podium, a pool feed the media can record from, lighting that reads on camera, and livestream for the people who can’t be in the room. Short notice is something we’re built for, and every job comes as one all-in quote.
Backed by our Comfort Warranty — if something isn’t right, we do everything within our power to make it right.
If the room can’t hear the announcement, or the audio the broadcasters pull is noisy, the coverage suffers and your message is what gets lost. These events also tend to come together fast, sometimes with a day’s notice, and there’s no rehearsal and no second take.
Straight Street produces media events across Waterloo Region, the Toronto / GTA market, the Windsor–Essex corridor, and Southern Ontario. We arrive ready, set up quickly, and give you one all-in quote covering equipment, labour, and transportation. A senior event designer plans it around your announcement time and runs point from load-in through the last question.
Some announcements can’t wait for a two-week planning cycle. Government and public-sector releases in particular are often called with a day’s notice or less. When you need to be in front of cameras tomorrow, we can be loaded and on the road, with the gear and the crew to set up a proper media event on short notice. Full coverage across Ontario means dependable arrival wherever the announcement has to happen. You still get one all-in quote and no surprises, even when the clock is tight.
A press conference is not the moment to discover a dead microphone or an unusable feed. You want a partner who has done this under pressure and stays calm when the timing slips.
It’s why organizations trust us with high-stakes public announcements. We’ve handled press conferences for government departments at all three levels of Canadian government, in multiple cities, and major investment announcements in the Windsor–Essex corridor — including Stellantis and NextStar Energy. These are rooms full of cameras, with no second take.
