PRESS KIT
The Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles du Maroc is a sporting event that receives widespread media coverage (television, written press, radio, Internet).
International media coverage
Media outlets around the world, such as TF1, France 2, France 3, M6, 2M Morocco, VSD, Chérie FM, Hit Radio, CBS, ESPN, TVA propulsion and the Huffington post, report on the exploits and experiences of the women taking part in the event.
Some 100 journalists attend the event each year. Resources are put in place at the Rallye to enable them to relay the event: media vehicles, media room, video editing studio, media information centre, daily image bank (video and photo).
The organization provides daily press releases, video and photo footage, interviews live from the bivouac, live team tracking on the Rallye website. In the interest of quality, performance and service, all image production for the Rallye is managed by Maïenga, whose role is therefore that of producer as well as event organiser.

VIDEO PRODUCTION
A production manager, editor-in-chief, head operators and film editors ensure the production of daily footage that is sent via satellite to media around the world (USA, Canada, Europe, Morocco…), working in close collaboration with television broadcasters present on location to develop a pool of open-access images.
Each day a helicopter and 4×4 media vehicles capture images at the heart of the action. Each evening, at the bivouac, a sand-proof, air-conditioned editing room provides a protected workspace for journalists and film editors.
PHOTO PRODUCTION
A team of photographers spends long days capturing the action in pictures.
The bank of images collected is collated into a database. A high-speed satellite link at the bivouac allows immediate transfer of photos for publication. A dedicated team of technicians sorts, classifies and indexes more than a thousand photos every day.
