• Challenging traditional norms of event planning by designing experiences that blend storytelling and bold design to bring the Belden brand to life in unexpected ways.
• Collaborating across departments to ensure a unified vision that integrates branding, memorable messaging, and differentiated positioning across all touchpoints.
• Leading the team members responsible for executing your vision for regional events including planning, coordination, agenda, materials, displays, promotional items, meeting room experiences, food and beverage, digital experiences, departure and post-event follow-up.
• Inspiring and empowering your team to think big, take risks, and execute world-class events and experiences that align with the company's vision and values.
• Optimizing processes and redefining success metrics to measure the impact of experiences in terms of engagement, brand loyalty, and business outcomes.
