GINKGO BIOWORKS — QUARTERLY EARNINGS CALLS
ROLE: Producer
CLIENT: Ginkgo Bioworks
FORMAT: Livestream
DELIVERABLES: Recurring 1hr livestream. 11 productions and counting
BRIEF: Ginkgo Bioworks' quarterly earnings calls are a direct line to their investor community — high-visibility, high-stakes, and unforgiving of technical problems. The format requires three executives presenting simultaneously from separate rooms, each on teleprompter, each connected through a coordinated Zoom infrastructure, and each appearing seamlessly contiguous to viewers. Every quarter, on schedule.
PRODUCTION: Each production runs across two days - setup, testing, and pre-record on day one; live playback and a live Q&A on day two. Three separate teleprompter rigs are built, matched, and documented quarter-to-quarter so the broadcast reads as unified regardless of through time. Thorough prep and clear communication means the team can absorb whatever scheduling changes clients ask for - and it never shows on camera.
“We need our team to be able to turn on a dime and get everything right. Over the years at Ginkgo, Andy has provided incredible support, demonstrating extreme professionalism and extreme reliability, proactively communicating and consistently delivering professional grade services and pivoting at a moment’s notice. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough.”
