Nearly another year in the books for our world-class team. With changes in store for 2022, we can't help but reflect on how lucky each of us is to have stood side by side for dozens of landmark events spanning the globe. We wouldn't want to do it with anyone else. We look forward to what the future holds! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

What's one thing all of our client brands & events have in common? ➡️ Each embraces the value of seeking personal improvement in a fun and innovative way.

Our portfolio will show that activity, fitness, and athletics have been a major theme in our work and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Nike World Headquarters ✔️ + a mission to create more diversity and inclusion ... that's a pairing that puts serious meaning into the work that we do.

During this 18-month project, we hosted 200+ people across the Nike NXT community and the result was vibrant and productive small group discussions that effectively cultivated awareness, empathy, and deeper connections among teammates from all functions. 👏🏽 Whatever work you do, make it meaningful.

There's always a touch of magic ✨ that goes into gathering a large group of talent in one place to create an immersive event experience. Like this one at the 2020 Forum event we did last year. The coordination and planning required were significant but we're super proud of the way this came together. 👏

Change to -- Rule of thumb 👉🏾 a properly staffed crew is the key to a successful event. While innovative designs and VIP guest lists are important and exciting, curating a cohesive, personable, and appropriately experienced staff is the most time-consuming (and our favorite 🤩) part of the process. Every member plays a necessary role in our ex*****on plan, which is why we take the freelance hiring process so seriously.

When interviewing potential crew members, we consider:

1️⃣ Do they align with Now and Zen’s values?
2️⃣ Do they align with the client's values?
3️⃣ How knowledgeable are they about this particular event?
4️⃣ How well will they fit into the team being assembled in terms of communication and conflict resolution style?

The number 1️⃣ thing a production company can do to make sure the event is a success both for them and the client is to have clearly defined roles & responsibilities in writing 📝 .

A clear Roles & Responsibilities document will ensure:
👉🏾 No tasks are overlooked
👉🏾The budget is as accurate and cost-efficient as possible
👉🏾The clients know what they can and can’t expect from you
👉🏾You know what you can and can’t expect from the client
👉🏾If additional requests are made, a “surprise” budget increase is avoided
