Brighton Events Company
“It’s not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.” – Tony Robbin
An ‘event’ happens for a reason and it is important that the expected outcome is carefully thought about, managed, delivered and followed up. The event may be a publicity stunt, a way of saying thank you to customers, a launch, a form of entertainment – or an educational experience.
Events can be the bi-product of a marketing strategy and they are great occasions to get to meet customers and demonstrate capability all in one go. HMC actually kidnapped the Brighton Mayor once as a publicity stunt to drive more ticket sales to our Al Capone at the Dome event. This resulted in an increase in ticket sales because the stunt was a feature on ITV news working alongside Marcella Whittingdale.
Here are a number of Harvey Marketing Company events, which we currently event manage or have event managed in the past, they are divided into different event categories. These events are supported further on our testimonials page.
