I never understand how time flies by so quickly but another month has come and gone. Here’s a quick recap of April’s events:

Events… and everything in between.
Events Internship Opportunity
If you’re looking for events experience, then this internship with the Vancouver Canucks might be the right opportunity for you. I job-shadowed a Canucks Event Planner back in September and had a blast working with and learning about big-scale productions.

My Top Event Brand

A few weeks back, Bizbash posted their Top 10 Event Brands list that profiled 10 companies who are leaders in experiential marketing campaigns. I was thrilled to see that Red Bull made the top 3 as they have long been my top event brand. Everything they do from the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championship to the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series to the recent Red Bull Thre3Style is exciting, innovative, fun and successful. Two my of favorite Red Bull events ever have to be Red Bull Stratos (seriously, making a freefall jump from 120,000 ft is insane!) and Red Bull Flugtag (one of the 1st Red Bull events I’ve ever experienced). I can only imagine the level of planning and coordination needed to put one of these events on and would love to have the opportunity one day to work for this brand on their event team.
What are your favorite event brands??
From Apples to Hard Hats
One of the things I’ve really enjoyed while working for Blitz is the number of ‘out of the ordinary’ things I’ve been able to experience. Case in point: a hard hat tour of the new Pacific Palisades buildings on Robson Street. PaPa is scheduled to be completed in June and a couple of weeks ago, Andrea and I (along with a few lucky others) were given a tour of the first few finished suites.
The Apple of My Eye
February marked the 2012 Apple Month across Canada. This meant that for 29 days I ate, breathed and thought nothing but apples. I actually had a lot of fun working with the client BC Tree Fruits to encourage Canadians to eat local apples. There were several different programs running throughout the month but I was personally responsible for managing managing the 2 media events, managing their social media communities, pitching and landing media stories, management of 2 sponsorship/partnership deals, and running the Classroom Visits program.
