Description

“I hate doing one-off events”, says this week’s guest Jennie Becker. That’s odd, coming from a powerhouse in the events world; but the key word there is ‘one-off’. As Jennie explains, you’ve got to do more.

 How much more? And what does more look like? To find out, Dom and Martin sit down with podcast royalty Jennie to discuss how to balance creative ambition with shrinking budgets. If you’re struggling to get the resources and authority you deserve, it’s time to shift your approach. 

 From orchestrating iconic events for the British Fashion Council, LTK, and Stella McCartney, to her more recent role as Director of Events & Activations at WeWork, Jennie has built a career blending creativity with sound commercial strategy. In this episode she talks to us about building community to drive loyalty, why there’s no ‘one big thing’ for success, and the power of strategic evaluation behind every great event.
