Tamsin Gallick, our seasoned Head of Production, has gathered invaluable insights over her remarkable journey in the industry. Here are four pearls of wisdom she's generously shared:

Excel - Your Ultimate Project Management Companion: πŸ“Š Tamsin's top tip after a decade in the field: Excel is your steadfast ally. Learn it inside out, embrace it, and cherish it. It's the guiding light through the chaos of production. Master the principles of project management in Excel, and you'll conquer any project management software. 🌟

Details Make the Difference: πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ "The devil's in the details," they say, and it's never truer than in event planning. File management, people management, supplier management – every aspect hinges on meticulous attention to detail. Every element must be meticulously thought out for a seamless production. πŸ“‚πŸ“

Unleash Creativity through Collaborative Problem-Solving: πŸ’‘ Tamsin thrives on collaboration. Some of her most rewarding moments at Mann Made involve solving complex technical challenges. Brainstorming with our Creative Director and Technical Director to tailor solutions for clients, especially in virtual streams like Hopin, is immensely satisfying when it all clicks into place. πŸ€πŸ”§

Capture Every Insight: πŸ“ Take notes, and lots of them. Embrace automation (AI, like Fred at Fireflies, can be a trusty friend), but when in doubt, a trusty pen and paper never fail. Your meticulous notes can be your superhero cape when saving the day. πŸ¦Έβ€β™€οΈπŸŒ

Thank you, Tamsin, for sharing these gems of wisdom that keep our productions shining bright! πŸ’ŽπŸŒŸ Tamsin Gallick

Here are some things your event agency will need to know when planning your next event:

➑️ Your Event Objectives and Vision
What are the primary objectives and desired outcomes of the event? Understanding the client's goals will help the event planner align their efforts and make informed decisions throughout the planning process. It's important to inquire about the client's vision, theme, or atmosphere they envision for the event to ensure that the planner can deliver an experience that matches their expectations.

➑️ Budget and Financial Considerations
What is the allocated budget for the event? Obtaining a clear understanding of the budget early on allows the event planner to suggest appropriate venues, vendors, and services that fit within the client's financial framework. We’ve had clients with limited budget refer to the quality and scope vs budget as β€œCan I get a luxury Toyota or an S-Class as opposed to the Rolls Royce budget” or β€œI am going to need you to beat this crocodile into a lizard.”

➑️ Target Audience and Attendee Profile
Who are the intended attendees of the event? Gaining insights into the target audience demographics, interests, and preferences enables the event planner to tailor the event experience to the attendees' needs. Understanding the guest profile also helps in determining suitable event locations, themes, activities, and selecting the right vendors or speakers that resonate with the target audience.

➑️ Timing and Venue
When and where do you plan to host this event? The timing of the event includes both the date/s and time of day, whether the event will be held during the day, in the evening, or even over multiple days. In addition, the choice of venue is a critical factor. The event agency will need to know if you already have a specific venue in mind or if you need assistance in finding one. Considerations for venue selection include the location's accessibility, capacity, ambiance, and any technical requirements, such as audiovisual equipment or staging.

By asking these key questions, the event planner's client service team can establish a strong foundation for planning a successful event that aligns with your objectives, budget, and target audience.
