(Justmeans.com / CSR News) - Montreal – February 15, 2012 – Atmosphere Event Communications, a leading agency specializing in maximizing the potential of events is nominated for the Best Employee Engagement Strategy for 2012 by the Social innovation awards.

Atmosphere is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and works with clients around the globe. This is the first year that Atmosphere has been nominated for this award. “Our dedication in providing experiential based programming combined with immersive learning environments is the key to our successful campaigns. We believe that attendees involved in our programs retain a greater deal of information due to the emotional connection with the cause.” Says Jason Katz, President, Atmosphere. This year we developed a program for Canada’s premier coalition loyalty program and gave 350 employees hands- on opportunity to give back to the community by helping raise awareness of homeless youth for Dans la Rue a grassroots, community-based organization that works with street kids and at-risk youth aged 12 to 25. The event encouraged employees to learn about street youth, panhandle for the cause and take part in a sleep-out in a parking lot in downtown Montreal. The initiatives fostered team spirit and created a sense of unity." The program delivered staggering results including $ 79,000 in cash, a greater awareness to the challenges that homeless youth face and the communications strategy generated over 600,000 impressions via non-traditional and social media.

ATMOSPHERE EVENT COMMUNICATIONS: YOUR EVENT: ROI


Many companies spend a large portion of their budget on company-wide events.

From company-wide conferences to fun family days, most companies don’t take a strategic approach to their meetings. Either which way you look at it, if part of your budget is to be spent on an event , wouldn’t you want to be able to see a return on your investment?

The key is to have a solid objective for having the event and the initiatives in place to follow the event. When a strategic approach is taken to any meeting, results can be measured by the use of follow up communications or even a year -long initiative that is to be followed by employees.




The following points should be considered when producing your event:

1. Have a strategy: Examine the who, what, where, why of your event. Who will be attending? Why are they attending? What are they to gain from this event? Why are you having the event?

2. Build a purpose: Building a purpose to the event gives your team a sense of ownership to the event. What message are you sending? What would you like to achieve?

3. Make it interactive: Studies have shown that an engaging event beats a dry power point presentation any day. If attendees feel they are “having fun” , they just might have an easier time receiving your message.

4. Have a follow up: The worst thing you can do is spend thousands of your hard earned dollars on an event and see little or no return. Whatever your objective, following the event, have your team practice what they have learned and measure your results.

5. Provide an Action Plan: Providing an Action Plan will guide your team to your objective and give them the tools and ammunition to increase motivation to follow through on your ultimate goal.

These are just a few ways to help your event become successful.
