Figuring out the best way to bring our clients and their audiences together, to create genuine bonds and lasting loyalty, is an Event Planet specialty. We believe in the “keep it simple” approach. We start at the beginning and take the time to listen and understand your brief, your brand and your goals. We will work with you to design, manage and deliver modern and meaningful communications strategies, which are tailor-made to achieve your key objectives.

1. The Brief

First, we listen. We will understand your brand profile and who your target audience is. We will benchmark and analyse your competitors. We will uncover a true picture of your goals and objectives. Our aim is to go on a journey of discovery with you so we can tailor a strategy that will drive success.

2. The Creative

We will generate ideas, develop and discuss them with your requirements in mind. We will consider all the modern and innovative solutions the world has to offer. Together, we will decide what will work best within the parameters of your timeframe and your budget.

3. The Plan

We will present a detailed and illustrated proposal with a fully itemised budget. Our service includes managing all third party supplier contracts and invoices from initial deposits through to final settlements. We minimise and streamline your administration.

4. The Delivery

We deliver the plan. We set agreed project milestones. We operate to best practise standards and deliver quality products and services. We ensure efficient, effective resource allocation. We action checks and balances throughout the project lifecycle. We report back to you on a regular basis, until delivery is successfully complete.

5. The Evaluation

We debrief together. A post project review, including a written report, enables us all to assess and evaluate. It’s important to identify key learnings, project successes, and future opportunities for improvement. We will also evaluate financial success. This phase of work is the foundation stone for future projects.

“I just wanted to thank you for your creative and detailed approach to last night’s event. I think we all heard how good the feedback was, and it all started with the WOW factor that the room setting itself delivered, followed by the food, and of course, the amazing entertainment. Combined, it was a memorable event that I am sure the guys in IB&M will always now compare all our other events against – Thanks! Please pass on our thanks to all the suppliers behind the scenes, without whom of course, these great events just don’t work. We wanted WOW from this event, and you delivered. Thank you.”Commonwealth Bank

Frominitial planning and scoping to delivering the very finest details of a polished, smooth running and well-received national forum.

“Amy, thank you for all your hard work and coordination in developing and delivering such a major event. It was an absolute pleasure working with your professional, dedicated and client-focussed team. What you were able to achieve in under seven weeks was nothing short of amazing. The Event Planet team always went above and beyond to ensure things got done on time – even the little things that make the difference between a good event and a great one. And the outcome speaks for itself – we had nothing but positive comments from attendees, other areas within the department and the Minister’s Office. For that I sincerely thank you and wish you all the very best in the future.”NBN Forum
