About Fresh Perspective
As business owners, we regularly make decisions based on ROI (Return on Investment). As an event marketing strategist, I propose leaders make event decisions based on achieving the highest ROM (Return on their Moment) possible. Think about the ways that events can deliver a message: "Come together to donate money to support our cause," "Join our webinar and learn about our company," "Visit our location and 'see' yourself here." What do they all have in common? They are each an event, a moment in time that an organization uses to communicate a message, need or desire to a specific audience. We partner with clients to define their “why” and their “how” to ensure that the ROM matches or exceeds their ROI. We tackle areas like defining specific target audiences, creating well-defined pre-event, during event and post-event messaging and delivery tools, as well as ensuring that event content consistently reflects the messaging so the event’s purpose is abundantly clear.
