<p>Have you ever gone for an event that blew your mind? I mean the type that you can spend hours talking about. Good events don't happen by chance. <em>Why remain average when you can be special?</em> I had the opportunity to write a few proposals for some brands you use frequently, and I'll be sharing a few tips that can make your next event the talk of the town. Yes, I'm sharing for free because I'm a great guy! </p><p>So, you've received a client brief on a specific event they have in mind, or maybe it's your friend that's seeking help in planning their 7th baby shower. That's perfect! Hope you got the joke. Don't rush into execution without a strategy in mind. There's a number of things to consider. Target audience. What kind or class of people are you expecting to attend the event? You need to research them and understand their thought process, as it can inform other parts of your event. You don't want to play songs from the 60s at a Gen Z party. No be gadus be that! <em>Think of your event as an experience. </em></p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/images (1).jpeg" alt=""></p><p>If you're giving invites, it wouldn't hurt to be creative. Imagine receiving an invite for a robotics program from someone looking like Iron Man. That will be memorable. A smart invite will equally be great. You don't want to host a child's birthday party at a club. The venue for your event matters. Think of the ease of movement, positioning of the stage, emergency exits, and seating arrangements. Decoration has to align with the event theme. Yes, your event should have a theme. If a brand wants to position itself as being rooted in culture, it can choose a theme such as ROOTS. It could have a lot of traditional decorations. Even the choice of songs could be strictly traditional. They can as well have a live band. It's making sense abiii!</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/images (4).jpeg" alt=""></p><p>If you plan to have managers or ushers at your event, they must be presentable. Basically looking the part. You can hold a virtual training for them to better understand the event and the experience they should sell. If the brand wants to sell themselves as being energetic, then your ushers should be energetic. Hire people who match what you want to achieve. </p><p>Use these points hold body!</p><p>To be continued...</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
