Astera — turning a major equipment investment into an industry story
Halo had invested in well over 400 Astera luminaires. The communication challenge was to turn a large inventory update into a useful story about production capability, product range and real event applications.
My contribution
I contributed Halo-side product and event context, gathered internal team quotes and supplied selected photography for the publicity process. I also supported the connection between the external story and Halo's own communication channels.
How the story was distributed
For the portfolio, TPi and Ambersphere Solutions are the two priority Astera contexts. The same core story was also distributed across additional verified trade channels. Ambersphere is presented accurately as Astera's UK distributor/supplier and the publisher of its own supplier-news version, not as an independent client.
Evidence-led proof
Published coverage described Halo's stock as well over 400 Astera luminaires and stated that an Astera element featured in 90% of Halo productions. Selected application examples included Nike at Vinyl Factory, Federer: Twelve Final Days at Odeon Luxe and the Barbie launch at Tate.



Secondary evidence: additional verified distribution is retained as supporting context, not as separate PR campaigns.
