A Seamless Blend of Creativity and Technical Expertise
We caught up with Nick, the Senior Project Manager at ClinkClink Events and asked him to take us through the aspects of running events like Digifest.
Nick plays a crucial role in delivering a diverse range of events, including conferences, awards, and exhibition stands. His focus is on collaborating with clients to ensure seamless, on-brand, and technically flawless events.
Client Collaboration and Approach
ClinkClink takes a collaborative approach with all clients, working from initial briefs to event delivery. For Digifest, an annual event by Jisc, a membership company in the education sector, ClinkClink has taken on a substantial role over the past few years. This involved a range of tasks, from creative exhibition design to technical conference production and streaming.
Nick underlines the importance of understanding client ambitions, noting that “ClinkClink doesn’t just work for the client but with them to achieve shared goals.”
Digifest presented unique challenges, particularly in its focus on technology and accessibility. Jisc, being a technology-focused company, sought innovative solutions, including implementing captions for events—a practice now extended to other clients. This commitment to accessibility aligns with ClinkClinks ethos of pushing boundaries within the event industry.
Managing diverse client contacts and coordinating with multiple suppliers posed challenges. Nick highlights the importance of aligning decision-makers and fostering collaboration among various partners to ensure a cohesive event.
“ClinkClinks role went beyond its own responsibilities, contributing to an overall plan that worked for everyone.”
ClinkClink prides itself on adaptability. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution; each event requires a unique approach. The company’s strength lies in its flexibility to use a diverse range of tools, ensuring the best outcome for the client.
Crew and Partnership
Nick acknowledges the significance of the crew in making events successful. ClinkClinks crew is not only technically proficient but also known for their friendliness and diligence. The company’s working relationship extends beyond clients to include other partners, creating a collaborative network for successful event delivery.
“The crew are what makes us look good. We work with some really nice, but also very technically proficient people.
Clients always comment on how friendly and how diligent all of the crew are, that they’re just all really nice people.”
Preparation and Attention to Detail
ClinkClinks approach to managing and motivating the crew involves meticulous preparation. Clear briefs, detailed plans, and addressing minor details contribute to crew confidence. ClinkClinks commitment to client interests extends to ensuring the crew has all the tools and information needed for a flawless execution.
ClinkClink exemplifies a blend of creativity and technical expertise. The Digifest event showcases the company’s commitment to client goals, innovation, and meticulous planning.
ClinkClink stands out not only for its experience but for its ability to adapt, collaborate, and deliver successful events across diverse sectors.
