Melanie is one of the original 5 who started at Story and has been building the fantastic Story client base and Story team ever since day one.
BEST EVENT
Delivering a fully 1920’s prohibition themed, jam packed with entertainment, event at Café de Paris. The client allowed us to go wild with the brief and completely immersive ourselves in the theme.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNT
That building relationships is key – we have such a wide range of clients and so no two days are ever the same. Having our clients return to us time and time again and coming up with new ways to impress them is always so rewarding.
TOP TIP
Don’t just aim to answer a brief – always exceed expectations and remember to include the ‘wild card’.
FAVOURITE VENUE/SUPPLIER
The best venues and suppliers come down to the people I trust to deliver – The Silver Sturgeon is a favourite of mine and what it has to offer. Their service, catering, space, views and flexibility is all at a very high standard. Luckily we get to work onboard all the time. And now they have their new venue, Woods Quay!
PROUDEST EVENT MOMENT
Working and continuing to develop a brilliant team at Story. Knowing we have a great team means we can be confident that we can deliver the very best events for our clients. From the sales team taking on the initial brief and developing the creative, right through to the immaculate delivery form our operations team. Knowing we’ll get ‘that’ email the day after the event is everything. Trusting my colleagues with our clients is a brilliant feeling.
FAVOURITE THING TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK
Putting my mummy hat on and spending time with my two kids, playing lego and getting knee deep in our arts and crafts box together! Nothing makes me happier. I love a ‘theme’ so our house is always being decorated depending on the seasonal holiday!
