      Live Events Production Review from Stephanie Worthington, CTSM

      Working with Meeting Tomorrow has been a consistently excellent experience. Their team brings professionalism, creativity, and reliability to every interaction. From the earliest planning sessions through on-site execution, they demonstrated exceptional organization and clear communication, often anticipating needs before they arose. Their ability to manage complex logistics, collaborate seamlessly across internal and external teams, and maintain a positive, solutions-oriented attitude made them an invaluable partner in producing high-impact, polished events. After such a smooth and successful collaboration, it was a no-brainer to hire them again for future events.

      We rented a 55" monitor and it worked great in our booth at the International Workboat Show in New Orleans. The monitor was set up before we arrived and we needed it adjusted so we called their 800 Help Line and technicians were there in less than 20 minutes to make the adjustments. Great Work!

      Public Relations Review from Viktor Bálint

      Despite the extremely short timeframe and complexity of the project, Enterie team has done an excellent job preparing a cross-European communications plan and executing it. They coordinated our merger communication on 8 markets, helping us to secure 130+ publications in two months.The agency approached the project of communicating our news a merger of the two leading EduTech companies in CEE that resulted in the formation of one of the biggest powerhouses of digital skills in Europe in a unique way. First, they prepared one central press release (template) and managed to coordinate the creation of all the local versions. Then, Enterie very well coordinated the distribution of the news in 8 different countries. Finally, they started pitching to journalists with exclusives, proposing interviews, articles and thought-leadership pieces by our C-level executives. The angles of communication were genuinely customized for different kinds of outlets HR, business, and startup ones. Special kudos to Ranbir, the person in charge of this part of the project, who would motivate us to stay proactive in the sphere of media relations.

      Public Relations Review from Maja Wiśniewska-Hardek

      We came to Enterie with the need to find local communication partners who would help SMSAPI enter the Italian, Spanish, French and German markets.We wanted to cooperate with agencies that would advise us not only on the specifics of PR in a given country, but also on economic trends, consumer behavior and the cultural localisation of the product we offer.I can confidently say that after several months of cooperation with local teams, their efforts have become an irreplaceable help in taking the first steps in these countries. It is worth emphasizing the professional approach of Enterie at the stage of briefing and setting communication goals.Thanks to PR activities, we noticed a significant increase in referral visits to local language versions of SMSAPI and improved visibility in organic search results in a short time. Importantly, thanks to regular positioning in local media, we have gained many qualitative publications that directly influenced the recognition of SMSAPI brand in European countries, which quickly became visible in brand searches.It is also worth saying that each of the agencies associated in Enterie is characterized by high professionalism and an understanding of the needs of the tech customer.

      Zachary and his team at FIG are top notch. I hired them to run an advertising campaign for an event our agency was doing in the Denver market, and from first reaching out to them to after our event was wrapped they were exceptional. They were extremely professional, took the time to sit down and gage our needs for our agency, and created incredible ads that brought our agency and event incredible success far exceeding my expectations. They communicate very well and it's clear they genuinely care about their clients. I would highly recommend FIG for any marketing/advertising needs you have!

They communicate very well and do what they say they are going to do which is rare to find in the marketing space. They have been a great asset to my business.

They were collaborative, organized, fun to work with, and always resourceful—no matter the challenge.Together, we created immersive, memorable experiences that elevated our brand in front of key audiences.
