Services offered

I've worked in experiential marketing, event management, and field marketing for 11+ years, which has naturally displayed my aptitude in supporting business operations, process development, and project management. I create processes and systems in everything I do, and I particularly enjoy working with creative teams. I'm a problem solver at heart with an entrepreneurial spirit who takes ownership of the task at hand.

I offer support in business operations, project management, venue sourcing, and event management.

Experience

Owner, Lily Rachelle Event Services LLC, Jan 2023-Present

I support small businesses and non-profits with venue sourcing, event sales, event planning, production, staffing, and onsite event management. I also have extensive experience with business operations, project management, and process development to help companies hire, train, and scale.

Notable experience working with The Venue Collective in Austin, TX: I manage inbound event leads swiftly with comprehensive quotes to close sales, follow up with warm leads, negotiate pricing to close a sale, contract the event, and pass event details to the venue team once finalized. I manage partner relationships with venue locations, develop competitive pricing to drive sales, and communicate event details clearly to the onsite team for execution. I help develop internal processes, business development strategy, and marketing initiatives to drive inbound leads and scale to new markets.

Google, Field Marketing Manager, Jan 2020-Apr 2022

I managed 70+ Chrome Enterprise channel and OEM partner marketing events and activities to drive leads and awareness for Chrome OS in the enterprise market, plus Google-led flagship events to share key marketing updates and drive awareness for Chrome browser and OS.

Applied Underwriters, Event & Trade Show Manager, Oct 2015-Dec 2019

Starting as a trade show coordinator, I grew to build out the Brand Communications events and trade show department for business development field activities and internal executive events. I led a team of 2 direct reports to manage an annual route of 40+ trade shows, plus sponsorships at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Kentucky Derby and Indy 500.

George P. Johnson, Event Services Specialist, Jun 2014-Oct 2015

My first corporate job, this role exposed me to Fortune 500 client programs where I supported various special events from intimate dinners to concerts with 20,000+ attendees.
