Social Streaming and Distribution for STEM Events - Complex Subjects ➡️ Simple Content

In this latest edition, we sat down with our Media Distribution Coordinator, Sorosh Shahpoori, to talk about how he manages live streaming and content distribution for one of our biggest contracts from right here in our UK head office.

Early in the conversation, he said something that stuck with us:

“It doesn’t matter how complicated your topic is, trying to simplify it for the general public is always good.”

We thought this was a great summation, and the results that Sorosh and the team are getting on our client’s YouTube channel are amazing. 

But what are the commercial benefits of this tactic?

Meet Sorosh

My day-to-day is all about making content work harder for the European Space Agency’s YouTube (and a few other marketing channels). That means managing YouTube channels, coordinating livestreams, managing website media, and ensuring video distribution is seamless. Sometimes it’s as simple as pressing “go live” and monitoring a feed. Other times it’s editing a replay, adding chapters so people can find key moments, or turning long-forgotten archive footage into a YouTube Short that suddenly reaches millions of viewers.

At its heart, my role is about making complex information easier to access, easier to engage with, and more impactful for the audiences who matter most.

The Questions Every Organisation Should Ask Before Streaming Their Events

Whenever I work on an event, I ask myself: how could this content reach more people than just the ones in the room? What happens after the livestream ends - does the video get forgotten, or does it become a resource people keep coming back to?

There are also bigger questions you should be asking too:

These are the questions that shape every streaming and distribution strategy I put in place, and the answers that World Wide Group provides event-to-event, stream-to-stream.

 


 

 

Why Social Streaming Adds Real Value

When streaming and distribution are handled properly, the benefits go far beyond simply “getting a video online."

Greater reach and accessibility

By making content searchable, segmented, and available on-demand, you reach far beyond the live audience to engage global viewers.

Higher engagement during and after events

Moderating live chat, running Q&As, and enhancing replays keeps people engaged long after the broadcast ends. For example, I was part of the world’s first livestream from Mars. The live audience was huge, but the edited replay continued to generate conversation and coverage long after the broadcast ended.

Repurposing existing content

I’ve seen archive footage from ten years ago suddenly gain traction when reformatted for today’s audiences. In fact, one series of Shorts I created by zooming through space visuals has hit millions of views. That’s the power of breathing new life into existing material.

Professional execution

A well-managed stream isn’t just functional, it reflects directly on your brand’s credibility and professionalism.

Data-driven improvement

Analytics give us the insight to refine content, test new formats, and keep growing the audience.

This is why I don’t see livestreaming and distribution as add-ons for our clients. They’re strategic tools for building awareness, inspiring audiences, and strengthening reputation.

 


 

 

A Call to Organisations Leading the Way

If you’re in the public sector, aerospace, engineering, or STEM industries, you’re already working on projects that can inspire the next generation. But inspiration only works if people can access and understand your story.

That’s where social streaming and content distribution make the difference. They help you attract younger audiences, secure public trust, and show the world the real value of what you do.

If that’s a goal for your organisation, we would love to help make that happen.
