challenge

  • Less than 30 days from contract to event execution.
  • Client was located on the west coast, so rapport had to be built via email and over the phone. Assessing client likes and dislike without face-to-face interaction can be difficult.
  • Client was an internal planner that also had “clients” which added another layer of ideas and approvals.
  • Attendees ranged in age from 20s-60s from all over the US so finding an engaging theme for the activation was a potential challenge.
  • With other national events happening in the Indianapolis area in the same time frame many venues were already booked. Date was non-negotiable.
  • Anthem Inc. had restructured awards event and budgeting from previous years so 2019 was the rollout of the new concept.
  • Established photo editing and imagery styles, brand typefaces, color palettes, patterns and textures as well as logo-lock up and brand guidelines to be used across all brand applications
