Manager of Events

• Sep 2019 - Jun 2022

My current role as Events Manager at Barcadia Media is a very varied and fast paced working environment, which I thrive in and really enjoy. My main responsibility is for our companies awards ceremonies. We boast three of the biggest financial services award ceremonies, including a newly launched Property Reporter Awards, Financial Reporter Awards and Women in Finance Recognition Awards. All three events, held in different locations in London, are ceremonies to congratulate and recognise the hard work of the industry individuals throughout the years and both are up to 500 people. I am solely responsible for the management of these events from concept, to budgeting, liaising with external contractors and venues and management on the day. I am also responsible for managing logistics, bookings and arrangements for all educational roadshow events we hold on a fortnightly basis, including: sourcing and booking suitable venues and hotels, meeting budgets/targets, liaising with venues and hotels prior to events, managing invoices and commissions as well as liaising with the accounts department on this, venue contracts, managing event stock and providing relevant, topical and important information to all attendees inline with the marketing schedule. Being responsible for these educational events has always meant a lot of travelling up and down the country to secure venues and manage the events on the day. Additionally, the business has recently taken on other local business opportunities. This means I have also been responsible for external launch parties and networking events to target the locals and emphasize brand awareness. I solely plan and manage any client networking events along with all staff occasions and events. This includes client Christmas parties, client award ceremonies and client networking events - all of which need to be in line with a brief and budget.

My daily tasks included: writing call sheets, booking crew/cast members, booking and managing audio sessions, prepping/maintaining/storing camera and sound kit, hiring kit/props, researching locations and acting as a runner on shoots. My role also included general office administration including petty cash and card receipt reconciliation as well as answering the phones, booking couriers, diary management and maintaining a tidy and well-stocked office. In order to be the most effective production assistant and to prepare for the next step, I was granted the funding to undertake an Essential Skills for Production Co-ordinators course run by DV Talent. The course was led by a very experienced BBC Production Manager and was a really helpful course. Finally, I was responsible for our social media accounts which included posting relevant and frequent content to engage with our audiences on a number of platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram. In order to do this effectively, I completed a Social Media Marketing course with MediaTraining UK.
