Make Events is the go-to corporate events agency for the North’s household names, from Kellogg’s
(22)

Founded in 2012 by Holly Moore, Make Events has taken the industry by storm, enjoying huge growth, several awards and a client list that reads like a who’s who of the North’s most successful businesses. Determined not to make anyone sit through death by PowerPoint ever again, our ambition is to bring the creativity and energy of a party to a corporate event. We believe that deeper engagement happens when you are immersed in a live event.

Always wanting to LEVEL UP our clients events it’s super important to look outside the industry and the UK to bring the best ideas for clients. ⁣
⁣
Holly has been in NYC at a business conference and got plenty of ideas. ⁣
⁣
Here’s some ideas we learnt to help our clients -⁣
⁣
Catering - it doesn’t have to be expensive it just has to be different and tasty! We were served sweet and savoury donuts and bagels for breakfast; croissant sandwiches for lunch and pizza as a post conference snack. There were baskets of snacks and cans to grab for additional subsidence. ⁣
⁣
AV - if you don’t have lots of content keep it simple with smaller screens with holding slides. If you can deliver your message with Q&A rather than keynotes this saves on content, rehearsal time and tech. It’s just about having the right questions prepared. ⁣
⁣
Content - snappy segments on stage - give the audience cards to fill in questions. Some clients like to do this via an app but if budget is tight this is an easy way to engage. ⁣
⁣
To spend your budget in the very best way. Get in touch today!

A milestone for Make Events🎉

We’re so excited to have partnered again with the Co-op team on a massive 2-day build and event production for the Co-op Pioneer Awards at the incredible Co-op Live—the first-ever corporate event held in the bowl! 🙌

From full production, lighting, and branding to digital, print, entertainment, and activations—we covered it all, and the result was a huge success!

We couldn’t be prouder of the teamwork and collaboration with the Co-op team and the shared vision that made this event so special. Take a look at what our amazing crew and the brilliant Co-op team brought to life!💪✨

Menu Tasting at .mcr ⁣
⁣
Manchester newest venue opened last month where Artisan used to be in Spinningfields. ⁣
⁣
A night time hotspot for food, drinks and clubbing but also an alternative venue for corporate events. ⁣
⁣
Here’s how we’d use it -⁣
⁣
Utilising the outside space for a branded entrance ⁣
⁣
Imagine your guests arriving in the morning to chilled breakfast beats from a DJ at reception ⁣
⁣
A healthy breakfast with smoothie bowls, brunch bagels and pastries ⁣
⁣
Conference using LED screens - theatre style side of the venue; catering the other; utilise the private dining rooms and club for breakouts ⁣
⁣
Nestled in Spinningfields we’d tag on the choice of a private fitness class ; pilates at or a guided walk ⁣
⁣
A GPS treasure hunt round Manchester⁣
⁣
Its African inspired decor, pockets of space which are fit for Instagram Raft offered an exiting alternative to a corporate event

This week we went to 🇫🇷 which is a popular destination for leadership conferences and incentives.

It’s a great example of a brand “owning” a town and activating throughout the whole area. It was a great lesson in brand activation.

🦶 Gold metal 💧 drips line the pavements leading you to “source”

⛲️ At “source” you find 2 mosaic taps where you can fill your water. Also spot locals bringing 20 empty bottles to fill!

💦 Visit the Evian gift shop with a small brand exhibition and even get your bottles personalised.

🏊 An Evian spa and fitness centre.

📸 Giant letters and photo props around the town for photo opportunities.

A 3 day conference could include -

A GPS treasure hunt round the town
Boat trip to Switzerland
Wine tasting dinner
Evian spa day

We ❤️ putting together incentives and overseas trips like this for clients!

🇬🇧 We’re very excited to see all the pageantry and fanfare for the Trooping the Colour Parade today to mark the official birthday of King Charles III. Of course, in true Make Events style, we celebrated the event with….FOOD! Who doesn’t love scones, cream, jam and strawberries? 🇬🇧

And whilst we are thinking about all things royal today, we are looking back at a very special Team GB event we helped to create for the 10th Anniversary of the London 2012 games, where our keynote speaker was HRH Princess Anne.

To learn how we managed royal protocol and created a truly magnificent experience that was in keeping with the beauty and tradition of the Guildhall London, take a look at our website (link in the bio) for the Team GB-2012 Anniversary case study. 👑💂‍♀️

What other themes would you love to see us bring to life?

New Era! A note from me

Being brave enough to change the shape of your business is no mean task!

In 2021 I knew I had enough talent within the team to grow a strong management team and capacity to bring in more.

I saw I had rising stars that needed to be nutured.

People that were showing different skill sets that we could create new roles for.

And a new way to create a path to progression and nuture talent.

I also knew it was time for me to change my role. So at the start of this year I took a slight step back to allow the team to run the business more day to day. The best decision I made. Not only are they flourishing I’ve fallen in love with Make Events all over again as I’m only involved in the bits I love and bring real value to!

This week was our New Era interim away day. A response to our employee survey.

Let me I introduce you!

Commercial Director
Client Services Director
Head of Events & Ops
Head of Design
Head of Creative
People & Culture Manager

I’m the noisy one - so it can look on the outside it’s me still involved in everything - it’s truly not.

I am splitting my time between and 🌈 Working with Make now is same but different - my values run right through it but believe me we now have so much more talent.

Nothing changes if nothing changes! Bravery leads to happiness.

The team at Make Events were thrilled to support the Sedulo Christmas Toy Appeal, to help deliver Christmas for hundreds of children who would otherwise go without.

Each member of our team was nominated a child and given their respective Christmas wish list. They then went away to buy and wrap gifts for them to make their Christmas more magical🎁

One of the best ways to improve office culture👇 Personal development programmes📈 As part of our employee benefits at Make Events, the team have their own Anything is Possible training programme🌈 We believe that giving them the tools to manage every aspect of their life will help and enable them at work too. Yesterdays was under the “Finance” banner with founders of the app @Financielle. @HollyHolland (@Financielle) and @laurapompfrett delivered a workshop around personal finances. The team earn a profit-related team bonus and a recruitment bonus, and the workshop inspired them to the way that they can directly increase profit and their personal wealth. We can't wait for the next workshop✨
