Best in class event strategy, management, planning and execution.

 
 

Studies show that people are ten times more connected to your brand when they are emotionally engaged.

Whether it’s employer-brand building or creating a cult-like following in your customers, strategic and creative events can generate an emotional response, drive engagement and create the powerful connection between human and brand.

Brand Alive is the only event management company in Canada with in-house corporate experience.

This unique expertise allows us to support our clients beyond event planning.

Our structure is unique, too. Gone are the days of bulky, inefficient agencies. We are built like a modern start-up: entrepreneurial and agile with a belief that anything is possible with the right team. We leverage the gig-economy to provide a full-stack range of agency services delivered in a flexible way. Our longstanding relationships with freelance event producers, production managers and award winning partners are leveraged for projects based on the scope and needs of our clients, allowing us to offer a truly customized solution. Our lean company structure is void of complex fees and hierarchy, guaranteeing our clients invest in solutions, not overhead.
