VR/AR Review from Sam Rogers
The fine folks at Groove Jones really delivered with this project!See for yourself at https://4-h.org/clover/activities/rockets-to-the-moon/Our organization had worked with them before, but this was my first time...and my first time working with an AR project at all. Giving all the stars in all the categories isn't something I do much of, but in every way Groove Jones earned it.From the beginning, they got the intention and guided us through the choices needed to keep us within our fixed budget and immovable timeline. The team consistently delivered what we needed to get approvals from our internal and external stakeholders, and worked with us when we faced unexpected delays and technical surprises. We're just launched and already looking for the next opportunities to work with Groove Jones again! Totally professional, and totally fun :) They really made our team and our brand look good.
VR/AR Review from Amy Chao, CMP
The client had an exceptionally positive experience with Groove Jones. The agency delved into new technology boosting user experience, ensuring it aligned with the existing environment and was multi-channel compatible. Groove Jones in less than 90 days unveiled an interactive platform that was not only visually captivating but also had a striking impact. Throughout the journey, it remained communicative, promptly addressing modifications and infusing their unique insights. (verified via email)
VR/AR Review from Alan Fletcher
The client collaborated with Groove Jones on a challenging initiative, marked by a lofty yet vague objective and a pressing deadline. Discovered through online research and having no prior association, the collaboration swiftly took off. In merely three months, Groove Jones conceptualized and constructed a 20x16x10 Holodeck for the client's participation in the MWC event in Barcelona. (Verified via email)

Event Marketing Review from Ana Prieto G.
I've had the pleasure of working with Brain Brand at both companies, Corona and H&M. Their professionalism, creativity, and dedication are unmatched. From the CEO to every staff member, they have always shown an incredible commitment to making things happen, no matter how out-of-the-box or ambitious my ideas were. They consistently went above and beyond, often bringing even more innovative suggestions to the table. They have been supporting H&M since the Grand Opening event and continue to be partner on the following openings and BTL activities. Their ability to adapt, execute flawlessly, and deliver exceptional experiences has made them an indispensable partner. If you're looking for a professional and genuinely invested agency to bring your brand's vision to life, I highly recommend Brain Brand.

Gracias a la excelente gestión de Brain Brand, nuestra apertura de la primera tienda de IKEA en Cali fue un éxito total! Brain Brand es un excelente aliado para manejo de eventos masivos, la planeación del evento fue tan bien hecha que su ejecución fue impecable y no dio lugar a improvisaciones.

Nada quedó fuera de control! Los recomendaría siempre!!

Por todas esas razones, considero Brain Brand como la mejor opción!

Social Media Marketing Review from Joshua Black
Two things that are rare are quality and consistency. TCE provides both and that speaks volumes about who they are. They always deliver well above expectations! Without a second thought I would recommend TCE to anyone looking for a Creative Agency!

I’ve been working with TCE for over 1 year now and am blown away by their professionalism, their constant drive to bring new ideas to the table, and their fiercely analytical nature they apply to their decision making processes. I have recommended them to two fellow business owners who have both begun working with the TCE as well. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

Toby Boys's Review Sourced from Google
Bek, Caitlin and the team have been great to work with over the last few months. They've done a terrific job of helping me to set up my new business website and social media accounts. Always responsive, understanding and a pleasure to work with. Thoroughly recommended for your marketing needs.
Sam S's Review Sourced from Google
As a sole trader, I was honestly pretty overwhelmed and not a tiny bit daunted by the whole social media marketing thing when I first spoke to Bek at BeKonstructive. Bek, Caitlin and the team did such a fantastic job at making the whole process as easy as possible, and they were endlessly patient with me! They really took the time to understand my business and helped me build a presence that actually feels like me. They were super warm, super supportive, and so easy to work with. Definitely recommend.
Penni McCluskey's Review Sourced from Google
Overseas Packers & Shippers contacted Bekonstructive when COVID started with a challenge - how do you market and international relocation company when borders are shut. Bek and the team rose to the challenge. Since then they have managed our SEO, Google Ads and social media. This is working so well we recently ceased purchasing leads from lead generator companies. Bekonstructive also arranged a photo shootand redesigned our website and brochures. We are more than happy with the complete service Bekconstrucive can supply.

charles lambert's Review Sourced from Google
Steve Drury of Web-aviso made getting my books published and promoted a breeze. He did everything allowing me to just worry about writing it! He then used his own network to promote it internationally. I would not have written the two books he has handled for me without his help and expertise!Thanks to his work, my books are handsome, hardcover books (he even designed the attractive cover art for me) with very exquisite, appropriate artwork scattered throughout!All this with no money from me, just a very fair percentage of sales income for his efforts!
Anthony Hawkins's Review Sourced from Google
I required a personalised book designed and printed in a short time frame, and Steve was recommended to me. I have no technical expertise in this field and at all stages of the design proofing and printing my hand was held by Steve, via supporting and informative emails. His consummate experience and patience made me extremely comfortable with a new experience and the result exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend his services highly enough and unreservedly give him a FIVE STAR recommendation.

Steve is the most professional, friendly and inspirational person I have ever had the fortune to meet and work with. Thoroughly trust and recommend.

An event marketing agency is a specialized agency that plans, organizes, and manages events as a strategic marketing and communication channel for brands and organizations. Simply put, an event company promotes a brand, product, or service before, during, and after an event.
Their expertise extends to exhibitions, conferences, trade shows, exhibitions, seminars, pop-up shops, workshops, product demonstrations, launch parties, celebrations, charities, fundraisers, seminars, webinars, festivals, concerts, and customer VIP events.
Event marketing companies organize virtual, in-person, and hybrid events wherein businesses can host, co-host, sponsor, speaker, or be a participant in the happening. Their work consists of making sure each event reflects the client's brand and offers memorable experiences for attendees.
They work closely with partners and sponsors to boost event visibility. After the event, they keep attendees engaged, handle crises, and plan for unexpected situations to ensure a successful outcome.
Professional event marketing is particularly beneficial for industries with complex products or services, long sales cycles, and a need for direct customer engagement and relationship building. Tech and B2B sectors, for instance, use events like conferences and trade shows to demonstrate intricate solutions, capture qualified leads, and establish thought leadership.
Similarly, luxury goods and high-end service industries use exclusive events to increase brand reach, create immersive experiences, foster a sense of community, and nurture high-value client relationships.
The top-rated event marketing agencies on DesignRush in 2025 are:
Event marketing companies offer the following core and specialized services:
The cost of event marketing services in 2025 can range between $10,000 to $50,000, depending on the type, scale, and location of the event, as well as the agency's expertise. For large-scale productions, the agency fees can exceed $200,000, while hourly rates typically go from $100 to $150, though some boutique firms may charge more. These price ranges often fluctuate, influenced by industry benchmarks, with high-growth sectors allocating a larger percentage of revenue to these initiatives.
Metrics like registrations, website traffic, and social media engagement, results can be determined relatively quickly, often within a few weeks of the campaign launch. However, for more intricate objectives like sales-qualified leads and ROI, it usually takes longer to see results.
A full event marketing campaign operates in a cycle: pre-event promotion to drive attendance, during-event engagement, and post-event follow-up to convert leads. The most critical period for lead conversion is often the first 48 hours after the event, but it can extend longer for these leads to fully progress through the pipeline and for the agency to demonstrate a positive return on investment.
When hiring an event marketing partner, look for an agency who can turn your ideas into experiences that are attractive and engage the right audience. Inquire about their tactics to boost attendance or engagement and ask for examples of campaigns within your niche.
Additionally, check what tools and vendor networks they rely on and pay attention to how they communicate and manage projects. A good partner should keep you in the loop and adapt on the fly when unexpected hiccups arise.
Watch out for agencies with vague portfolios or case studies that claim “memorable experiences” without showing tangible results like attendance growth, leads, or ROI. Lack of experience in your specific event type can also lead to misaligned strategies and poor execution.
Other major red flags include overpromising outcomes, weak digital integration, or minimal focus on audience engagement, all of which suggest outdated or superficial approaches. Finally, be wary of agencies with limited vendor networks and reliance on generic metrics instead of actionable data.
Before signing an event marketing contract, you should ask the following key questions to ensure the candidate is a good fit for your project:
Event marketing differs from traditional advertising and PR by shifting the focus from one-way communication to two-way, immersive engagement. The core distinction is the emphasis on experiential connection over passive consumption i.e., turning the audience from passive recipients into active participants.
Unlike advertising, which uses paid media to broadcast a controlled message to a mass audience, event marketing creates a physical or digital space for direct, hands-on interaction with the brand. On the other hand, PR seeks to manage reputation through earned media and third-party validation, while event marketing offers a controlled environment to build emotional connections, gather first-party data, and directly influence the sales pipeline.
Top event marketing agencies use an ecosystem of specialized platforms to manage the entire event lifecycle. Core tools include all-in-one event management software like Cvent and Bizzabo, which centralize registration, marketing, and on-site logistics, with strong focus on data integration with CRM and marketing automation platforms such as Salesforce and HubSpot.
They also use specialized vendor networks and marketplaces for sourcing venues and other services, and often employ engagement-focused platforms like Whova for mobile event apps and networking, alongside advanced analytics tools to provide clients with granular data on attendee behavior and ROI.
Our goal is to provide accurate and useful information to both businesses and agencies, which is why we partnered with Mike Melen, co-founder of digital marketing agency SmartSites. He answered common questions about launching successful events and what to look for in an agency partner.
As a young entrepreneur, Mike Melen sold his first company at 19 years old. He has since led SmartSites, which has garnered eight Inc. 5000 recognitions and more than 1,000 5-star reviews. Melen’s work in the marketing field has also received honorable mentions from Forbes, AdWeek, and Inc. Magazine.
