I don’t know everything. And that’s exactly why my network - my (not so little) black book - includes experts from a wide range of fields. This allows me to connect the right expertise to the right project, ensuring the best possible results. However, when it comes to what I bring to the table, there are two key strengths that set me apart from the rest: 💡 Truly understanding my clients’ pain points Whether through my own knowledge or by collaborating with top specialists, I have a knack for identifying challenges and delivering innovative, creative, and well-informed solutions that truly work. 💬 Engagement I know what makes an audience tick. Whether it’s creating a magical experience for families at an immersive Christmas experience, helping shy delegates to step out of their shell at a conference, or encouraging camaraderie in a team reluctant to engage in a team-building activity; I understand how to connect people - without intimidation and often through simple, effective strategies. This is why my clients rely on me: for solutions that are tailored, creative, and always focused on delivering results. If you want to connect with the right expertise, engage your audience in a meaningful way, and ensure your project is a success - let’s talk. julia@sneakyexperience.co.uk #engagement #conference #MICE #exhibition #events #SuccessfulEvents #teamwork #collaboration #partners #SolutionFocussed #results

What’s Your 12%? This is Lora, the stage manager, locking eyes & giving me the countdown before I walk on stage. Years ago, I asked her why did she need to face me instead of what’s happening behind her? - She said “I have to ensure you hit the stage at the right moment and anticipate your needs, no exceptions.” _ She’s wearing a headset, constantly communicating with the back of the house, but by facing me, she stays locked in on her target. In that moment, if I need anything, she’s already anticipating it before I can even ask. - What’s the message I’m getting at? - It’s these small, (12% more) intentional actions that elevate your performance in any profession. So, what’s your 12%? What’s that extra edge you can bring to stand out? - And, If you’re hosting an #event or work for a company that does events, I’m available for speaking as a professional host & emcee. Hit me up! #globaleventplanner #eventplanner

THE ESSENTIALS FOR A GREAT EVENT Let’s get one thing straight—safe events are boring events. If you're in the business of ‘just fine,’ feel free to keep doing what everyone else is doing. But if you’re here to make an impact, it’s time to start thinking differently. At Straight Street Event Services, we believe in shaking things up. This isn’t about ticking boxes or following the old playbook. This is about creating something unforgettable. Inside, we break down what truly matters: Tech Won’t Save You (But It Can Bury You) Creativity Is Not a Buzzword, It’s a Requirement A Comfortable Event Is an Unremarkable One Communication That Actually Happens The Audience Isn't Just Watching, They're Part of It If you’re ready to stop settling, it’s time to talk. Because playing it safe is boring, and boring doesn’t win. Get in touch with us today and see the Straight Street Event Services difference for yourself. #greatevents #eventpros #audiovisual #liveevents

I was asked to brainstorm ways to deepen connections at a brand-new event. The result? "Values Vista." This initiative was all about strengthening attendee bonds right from the start. As attendees arrived, we invited them to choose a word or phrase reflecting their goal or aspiration for the event, like "Connect," "Learn," "Inspiration," or "Innovate." Next, we captured a Polaroid of them with their chosen word and pinned it to a large display. The photos were organized into categories, making it easy for attendees to see who else shared their goals. To further the conversation, each category was linked to a QR code. Scanning it took attendees to specific chats in our event app, where they could engage with others who had similar aspirations. "Values Vista" quickly became a focal point of the event, visually demonstrating how each person's presence added to our collective story. Feeling connected to both the event and its participants enhances that sense of belonging, a key reason people return year after year. Ever experienced something at an event that made you feel part of something bigger? I'd love to hear your stories! #eventprofs #eventplanning #engagementstrategies #keynotespeaker #belonging

Ever noticed how a simple smile can transform a room? I’ve seen it firsthand. At the start of college events, there’s this initial tension. Students approach our table, a mix of excitement and nervousness in their eyes. They don’t know what to expect. Are we friendly? Will this be fun? The air is thick with anticipation. Then, something magical happens. As we work, we make it a point to smile. Not just a courteous smile, but one that reaches our eyes, genuine and warm. And slowly, you see the change. Those waiting in line, are seeing how you are warm and smiling. Their once-nervous faces light up, their apprehension melting away. This transformation isn’t just about the airbrush swag they’re waiting for. It’s about the atmosphere we create—one of kindness, positivity, and warmth. Whether it's a corporate event, a bar mitzvah, or any gathering, the principle holds. Yes, the context might change—a candy bar here, a DJ there—but the effect of a smile, of that human connection, remains powerful. In our line of work, especially as event vendors, we wield the incredible power to set the tone. It’s a reminder that beyond our services, it’s our demeanor that can turn an event from just another day into a memorable experience. So, let's not underestimate the power of smiling, of being kind and positive. After all, the best part of any event isn't just the activities, but the joy and warmth shared among us. #eventvendors #powerofkindness #attitudematters #eventvibes
