After working as an ABC affiliate in North Carolina for almost 15 years, television reporter Steve Litz moved to Miami in August to shake up the special event industry. He's putting a new spin on the way video presentations are, well, presented. His new company, Your News With Steve Litz, uses his expertise in news reporting to create several video themes, the most popular of which is what he calls a "life story report" that can be tailored to an event's honoree, host, chairperson, or C.E.O. Unlike the typical video montage, Litz uses commentary and interviews with friends and colleagues to create a news story about the person. Each video runs seven to 12 minutes. Litz also offers a 20- to 25-minute "special event report," in which he and a cameraman attend an event and cover it as if it were a news story as well. —Vanessa Goyanes

'[It all] helped create the organic atmosphere and helped transport guests into a gardenlike room,' said Schubert.](https://img.bizbash.com/files/base/bizbash/bzb/image/2024/02/Shogun.41_f.65dba8f23433b.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
