- Generate event ideas, formats, and experiences that are rooted in purpose and resonate with the intended audience
- Originate creative direction for events, from concept through design decisions, and shepherd assets through client brand approval processes
- Create and produce engaging content for attendees, including playlists, slide decks, and event collateral
- Design and produce promotional and event video assets, or project-manage their production
- Logistics & Execution
-
- Own event logistics end-to-end, including technical and AV needs for virtual and in-person events
- Lead onsite and virtual event teams to ensure smooth delivery and a strong attendee experience
- Oversee event setup, monitoring, and post-event wrap-up
