Projects: Festivals Activations and Experiential Events

Company: SimplyProtein, MakerKids

Date: 2011-2018

Responsibilities: Hiring, location selection, booth design, training, design, activity design, sourcing, sales, event selection, event applications

Event activations were sales and awareness drivers for SimplyProtein and MakerKids. They also were a tool to support local communities. I managed up to 25 events/year at SimplyProtein and up to 10/year at MakerKids. Attendance ranged from 2000 to 30,000 people/day. I managed the entire event process including application, hiring, activity design, execution and reporting.

Past events:

  • VegFest Toronto
  • CHFA
  • ExpoWest
  • Ukrainian Festival
  • EDIT Festival
  • Camp Expo
  • Scotia Marathon Toronto
  • TIFF Digiplayspace
  • Innovate U (Google)
  • Maker Festival
  • Gulfood, Dubai (world’s largest annual food trade show)

I have managed a variety of events and activations including B2B, B2C, local, international shows, and in-house events. I managed event selection to find the most impactful events that matched the companies’ budgets.

I created booth activities that matched budget, experience and logistics, which resulted in unique and scalable events.

Post-event marketing followed each event to optimize lead capture and sales. I organized post-event emails, customer outreach and social media.
