Event agency
Twente
Not an agency with layers of account managers and subcontractors. We keep concept, technology and delivery in our own hands.
One point of contact, from briefing to delivery
If you're organising a business event, a traditional event agency in Twente will often route it through an account manager, a creative team and a subcontractor for the technology. Every link costs time and money. We do the conversation, the concept, the software and the delivery on the day itself ourselves.
- Trade show activations, company events and festival installations
- Concept and our own software from one source
- Direct contact with the builder, no layers in between
- Also our own public productions, such as Speed Daten Overijssel
How an assignment runs with us
1. The conversation
What is the occasion, who is coming, and what should stick. The form follows from those three answers, not the other way round. This conversation rarely lasts longer than half an hour.
2. The proposal
A concrete concept with a price attached, not a menu with three packages. We also say what doesn't fit, so you know where you stand before you commit to anything.
3. Building
Writing questions, making materials, building software, preparing the set. This is the part that determines the lead time and the part we work on ourselves.
4. The day itself
Set up, run, take down. Vincent is there himself, so the person who organised it can take part too instead of having to run things.
What kind of work do we do?
Our work falls into two kinds of assignments that have little to do with each other. One side is marketing: a trade show game that draws visitors to a stand, a full trade show activation, or gamification around a campaign. There the game is a means to an end, and the goal is named in advance.
The other side is groups: a company outing, an pub quiz, an team games day or a city game. There the day itself is the goal. A full overview is on the activities page.
In addition we run our own public productions. That is not an assignment from a client but our own work, and it is where we try things out that later end up in assignments.
When is an agency actually the easier choice?
A big agency is easier if you want a complete package in which venue, catering, technology, transport and overnight stay are in one quote. We don't offer that. We build the content side, the programme people take part in, and work alongside the parties who take care of the rest.
We are the better choice if the concept itself matters most and it shouldn't feel like something that ran at another company last week. Because we think it up and build it ourselves, it can still be adjusted right up to the day without three parties having to sign off.
If you're unsure which way to go, just describe the situation. If someone else is better at it, we'll say so.
Frequently asked questions
Are you an event agency?
In practice yes, though we work differently from a traditional agency. No account manager passing the work on to a subcontractor: we come up with the concept, build the software or installation, and are there on the day itself.
What exactly do you organise?
Interactive concepts for trade shows, company events and festivals: branded games, scavenger hunts, multiplayer competitions and bespoke installations. We also run our own public events, such as Speed Daten Overijssel.
How far in advance should we request an event?
For an existing concept with your own content, three to four weeks is usually enough. If software or an installation is being built for it, allow six to ten weeks from the first conversation. Around the holidays and in trade show season the diary fills up earlier, so it is wise to book sooner.
What do we need to supply ourselves?
For most assignments we need a space or a piece of ground, power, and a point of contact who knows how many people are coming. If it involves your own brand, we also want the logo, house style colours and the message that should stick. We bring materials, technology and hosts.
Can you also add to an existing event?
We regularly build around an existing event. Drinks, a staff day or a trade show appearance is already set, and an element that brings people together is missing. We then build just that element and fit in with the programme that is already there, including the times that are fixed.
What does it cost to organise an event through you?
A compact concept starts at €195. Every assignment is bespoke. After the first conversation you receive a concrete price.
