The Event Studio

What The Event Studio does

The Event Studio (TES) is a women-owned strategic event agency founded in 2008 that designs and executes corporate events end-to-end for enterprise clients. The firm operates as a fully virtual team of approximately 30 professionals working from home offices across the United States, with delivery capabilities spanning the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Services are organized around four pillars: Audience (recruitment, communications, registration, engagement), Content (agenda design, speaker programs, entertainment), Financials (budget management, vendor contracts, sponsorships), and Experience (venue/site selection, onsite execution, production, event app integration, safety management). Event scope ranges from small roundtables and LP meetings to large international conferences and global offsites.

TES generates revenue through professional services fees negotiated individually for each client engagement; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is consultative and relationship-driven, relying on direct enterprise outreach, client referrals, thought leadership content (blog), organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter), and industry recognition (Inc. 5000 in 2018 and 2019; Business Rockstars feature). Customer segments include enterprise corporations, venture capital and private equity firms, and media/publishing companies. Marquee clients include Genesys, Sequoia Capital, PagerDuty, Salesforce, Airbnb, HP, Intel, Levi's, Lexus, Fortune, Bloomberg Business, Scale Venture Partners, Reach Capital, Compliance Week, Diligent, and Women Moving Millions.

The company is privately held by its three co-founders — Beckie Jankiewicz (CEO), Elizabeth Busch (COO), and Anne Frey-Mott — with no institutional investors, parent entity, subsidiaries, or disclosed funding rounds. During the COVID-19 pandemic TES restructured its offering to include virtual and hybrid event production. The company has no proprietary technology platform, APIs, patents, or AI/ML capabilities; its competitive position rests on founder pedigree from Inc. and Fast Company, a senior bench drawn from Fortune, NBCUniversal, St. Regis, Ritz-Carlton, Netflix, Fairmont, and Kenneth Cole, and an embedded book of repeat enterprise clients.

• Freeman: Freeman is one of the largest global event and experiential marketing agencies, providing end-to-end event strategy, design, and execution for enterprise clients including many Fortune 500 brands. Directly comparable to TES as a strategic event agency serving the same enterprise client base, but operates at far greater scale across conventions, trade shows, and corporate events worldwide.
• BCD Meetings & Events: BCD Meetings & Events is a global corporate meetings and events management agency serving large enterprises with strategic meetings management programs. Comparable to TES in delivering corporate meetings and conferences, but operates with a heavier technology and meetings-management platform layer rather than pure creative production.
• PRA Business Events: PRA Business Events is a global corporate events management agency producing meetings, conferences, and incentive programs for enterprise clients. Comparable to TES in delivering corporate conferences and offsites, but with significantly larger scale and a broader portfolio of meeting management services.

Direct peers

• Jack Morton Worldwide: Jack Morton is a global brand experience agency that designs and produces events, activations, and experiences for enterprise brands. Closely matches TES's model of strategic event design and execution for Fortune 500 clients, with comparable focus on brand-driven, content-led experiences, though at significantly larger scale.
• George P. Johnson Experience Marketing: George P. Johnson is an award-winning experience marketing agency producing events, exhibitions, and brand activations for enterprise technology and B2B clients. Direct competitor to TES in strategic event design and execution, particularly in the technology and enterprise verticals where TES has marquee presence.
• Sparks: Sparks is a global experiential marketing agency producing brand experiences, corporate events, and trade show programs. Direct peer to TES in designing and delivering strategic corporate events and experiential programs for enterprise clients, with broader capabilities in retail and trade show production.

• ConferenceDirect: ConferenceDirect is a global meetings and event management company providing site selection, registration, and full-service meeting planning for associations and corporations. Comparable to TES in delivering corporate meetings and conferences, particularly in the venue sourcing and meeting logistics areas that are core to TES's service offering.

Others

• Cvent: Cvent is a leading enterprise event management technology platform providing registration, venue sourcing, and event marketing software. Not a direct competitor but an ecosystem participant and potential partner, as TES coordinates event logistics using event tech platforms like Cvent for client engagements.
• Bizzabo: Bizzabo is an enterprise event experience platform powering in-person, virtual, and hybrid events with registration, engagement, and analytics tooling. Adjacent technology provider rather than direct competitor, but represents the tech-enabled event services layer that TES partners with (or competes against) as events increasingly blend production with platform.
