If you’re wondering: Does my client feel taken care of? What impression is my team leaving? 💡 You might be missing a Deck Manager (Backstage Manager/ASM). Event agencies know the value of having a dedicated professional behind the scenes, ensuring everything runs smoothly. However, a Deck Manager isn't just a logistical coordinator; they bring a special combination of skills that elevate your event and build on strong client relations. ✅ Why You Need One: They cue presenters, manage stage props, and provide emotional support, ensuring your clients feel confident and ready to shine. ✅ During Rehearsals: They work with Stage Managers/Show Callers to ensure smooth rehearsals, guide presenters on stage movements, and address any issues early on. ✅ Pre-Show: Deck Managers coordinate with audio and video teams, ensure mics are correctly placed, make sure presenters know where to stand for best light and camera angles and cover every detail before the event goes live. ✅ Showtime: They support presenters emotionally, handle last-minute details, and provide that human touch that makes all the difference.

Are you effectively evaluating whether your event would benefit from the expertise of a Deck Manager, often called an Assistant Stage Manager (ASM) or Backstage Manager? Here are a few key considerations: ❇️ Event Scale & Complexity: Think about the number and types of stages, technical requirements, and the level of coordination needed among various teams. ❇️ Team Capabilities: Can your current team handle last-minute changes, high-profile presenters/performers, and intricate logistical challenges without compromising quality? ❇️ Virtual Events: Events with streaming components or specialized requirements benefit immensely from a Deck Manager (often called a “Green Room Manager”). They work with your talent behind the scenes, ensuring smooth communication, flawless technology, and perfect framing for the cameras. Investing in a Deck Manager ensures your event runs seamlessly, making a lasting impression on your audience and presenters. Don't leave it up to chance—make your event memorable for both the audience and the presenters! #EventProduction #DeckManager #EventSuccess #VirtualEvents #EventPlanning #EventManagement #BehindTheScenes #EventProfs #EventFreelancers #EventContractors

Event production & artist management: The details that make all the difference! As an experienced leader in event production and artist management, I understand that the magic of any successful event happens in the details. It's not just about coordinating schedules or booking venues—it's about managing people, protecting the integrity of the artistic process, and ensuring that every element comes together seamlessly. I’ve been in situations where the “obvious” had to be spelled out. The realities of managing a professional team often require clear boundaries and expectations—especially when working with artists and crews. That means making sure that access to private spaces is respected, that the team knows where they should be and when, and ensuring that everyone maintains a professional standard in terms of attire and behavior. It’s not always glamorous, but it’s essential. When you lead with clarity and set firm boundaries, you ensure that the focus stays on what matters most: delivering an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for an experienced producer who can handle the logistics, communication, and management of both front and back of house operations, I'm here to make sure your project hits the mark—and soars beyond expectations. Here’s how I can support your next project: - Artist & Talent Management: From coordination to the stage, I handle every detail to ensure that the artists have everything they need. - Production & Event Coordination: I manage the logistics, scheduling, and operations so you don’t have to worry about a thing. - Logistics & Team Leadership: Whether it’s a small show or a large-scale event, I’ll lead your team with precision, professionalism, and a commitment to excellence. Let’s work together to bring your vision to life—no detail is too small. Reach out today to start planning your next successful project. #EventProduction #ArtistManagement #Logistics #TeamLeadership #ExcellenceInExecution #Professionalism

I recently supported a new client by filling their need for a Deck Manager the day before the show started! “I just wanted to express my sincerest gratitude for not only helping us out last minute but for sending someone who far exceeded my expectations, especially given the limited notice! Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with, he jumped right in as if he’d been part of the team from the start. Can’t wait to be able to work with him and your team again, thanks a million!” This gives me a chance to spotlight the fantastic, supportive role that a Deck Manager (Backstage Manager or ASM) plays in events! I know we often think of this role as someone backstage helping push presenters out on cue; but the support a Deck Manager provides to presenters is so much more valuable to the client/presenter experience! Deck Managers bring value: ✅ Provide emotional support: the last person the presenter sees before going on stage and the first person welcoming them back off stage! ✅ Prioritize client relations: they support the needs of your clients from rehearsal to performance, making sure their experience is positive and memorable. ✅ Partnership between departments: the role you can count on to watch for unprecedented challenges and the safety guard behind stakeholder management! This is an absolutely crucial role for event agencies looking to impress their clients and leave them feeling cared for. I could not recommend getting a Deck Manager for your next event MORE!

Why Some Events Flop: The Missing Links A successful event is like a well-oiled machine, with every role contributing to its smooth operation. Here's why every piece matters: 1️⃣ Events Production – Ensures the stage, sound, and overall AV setup are top-notch. 2️⃣ Stage Management – Coordinates performances and communicates directly with artists' managers. 3️⃣ Backstage Management – Keeps the backstage area organized and chaos-free. 4️⃣ Artist Manager – Ensures artists’ needs are met for seamless performances. 5️⃣ Event Planner – Leads the entire project but depends on a reliable team for execution. 6️⃣ Event Communication Strategist – Drives online presence and capitalizes on audience engagement. 7️⃣ Vendor Manager – Oversees vendors to ensure services are delivered seamlessly. 8️⃣ Event Entry Manager – Manages ticketing and entry, ensuring everything flows smoothly. 9️⃣ Security Team – Ensures safety for everyone and helps maintain order throughout the event. Communication is the glue that holds all these roles together. Without clear coordination between teams, even the smallest misstep can disrupt the entire experience. When everyone aligns and works as one, success is inevitable.

There's a HUGE difference between an "organized person" and an events professional. It takes a special person to spend months building a vision and to-the-minute plans for an event, only to have everything thrown off by weather, shifting business priorities/client desires, a pandemic, you name it. Event professionals are the real deal - and their talents have "Swiss Army Energy" for any part of your business.

Hire an operator. Hire a planner. Hire from the event industry. There are a lot of talented experiential and event professionals available for work in Q4. I can personally say, these are not just event planners, these are project managers and operators at the highest caliber. Stressful situations, client management, many moving parts, short timelines - we do it all. This year has been unique for me, I've actually produced and been approached for a lot of projects that are outside the industry - longer term installations or even real estate development projects. If you're looking for support this holiday season, consider an event professional, they will take your project, execute to the highest level and ask what's next. #eventprofessionals #networking #contractors #hire
