SPIN OFF EVENTS
Based on the success of our initial event, we were asked to partner with the founders of "Career Relaunch", the pre-eminent Return-to-Work event offered within the US and internationally. We helped to develop initial agendas, all marketing material, and managed the marketing efforts for the first two years of this successful event.

RESULT
An award-winning, multi-city event that has been lauded as an outstanding resource for parents, employers, HR professionals, and anyone interested in new approaches to career development. Attendance and sponsorship have been driven by strategic partnerships with key organizations, forward-thinking companies, and important media relationships on both local and national levels. Strategic public relations efforts have included editorial coverage and television interviews; we have delivered a high-end conference experience and one of the top return-to-work events in this space.
