We’re a marketing agency that specialises in events.

The Verve Approach

Other marketing agencies create print or digital collateral; Verve supports your business strategy with purpose-driven events.

That’s why we do more than book things and run events. We take the time to understand your goals, audience, and brand values. Then, we create a business case to align all your stakeholders before the event begins.

With that alignment and understanding, we design and deliver experiences that reflect who you are, support your business strategies and engage your audience.

Partner with us, and let's create an event that is strategic, engaging, inspiring and leaves a lasting impact on your audience.

Our process

Perfected over years of events and thousands of attendees, our process ensures success from start to finish.

Discover. Design. Deliver.

We work with you to uncover your event's why, who, and what. This gives us the perfect direction to use our creativity, experience, and attention to detail to design an unforgettable experience.

From there, we pull together all the elements with event management experience that ensures everything runs smoothly. Once the event is over, we’re still at work - reviewing and reporting valuable insights and data for the success of future events.

At Verve, we deliver exceptional events every time. When your event is a success, and you look good, we’re happy.

Verve has been designing and delivering events with purpose for over 25 years. We’re also respected members of the events and marketing industries and proud members of the All of Government Panel for Marketing and Public Relations.
