​Christine Forster
President, Purveyor of Passions
 
I bring Joy to the Job by providing clients with MBD team members that match best with their needs. Every client, no matter the size, deserves someone who truly cares about their business and aligns well with their beliefs and passions.
 
The personal touches are also important to me as a business owner. Postcards, happy notes, social time outside of business time and passing along business leads all are ways I bring joy to the job.

​Carrie Kaufman (Stadtmueller)
Executive, Content Conductor
 
I provide a cool and calm presence when things go off-course. In event planning, we are trained to imagine and prepare for all possible outcomes. Sometimes things don't go exactly as planned. I make it my mission to stay calm and on-task during these little moments of chaos, hopefully providing peace of mind to our clients.
 
I enjoy working behind the scenes so our clients and their causes can shine!

Tiffany Dinsmore
Manager, Magic Maker
 
One of my personal strengths is the ability to remain calm and think things through when a problem arises, rather than panic. I have the ability to remain level-headed and solve problems behind the scenes, relieving stress and worry for our clients and bringing them joy. 

Katie Patterson
Director, Community Wizard
 
I absolutely love to problem solve. The moment something inevitably goes wrong and we are able to quickly solve the issue is so rewarding. Sometimes the client comes to us with a problem and is beyond grateful we were there to solve it (day of or in the days before an event). But many times the client isn’t even aware of the issue and sees everything running smoothly. In both cases, problem-solving truly brings me joy! 

Kathy Teele
Manager, Client Cheerleader
 
I love to be in person with events, as it gives you a chance to meet and talk with the guests. You get to hear their stories, share in their joy, see their excitement and know that you were a hug, an ear for listening or you were someone for them to jump for joy with. It's what everyone needs!

Sarah Biekert
Manager, Punctuation Prodigy
 
I am a perfectionist. When I’m working, every detail matters, because my goal is to make our client’s vision come to life. Whether it’s someone’s wedding or a small business client, my favorite thing is when a client walks into their event space or sees marketing materials we’ve prepared and says, “Wow,” with a smile on their face.

Amanda Sammartino
Manager, Marketing Maven
 
I'm not afraid to ask the tough questions to help identify barriers to success. I also use my fundraising background to help create materials that will anticipate donor questions.

Amy Dixon
Manager, Marketing Maven
 
I try to bring joy to my clients by talking them up in social media posts. It’s always hard to brag about yourself, but if someone else is seeing the talent in you and is good at expressing your strengths in words, it’s a huge compliment!
 
As purveyors of fun with MBD Marketing & Events, we support businesses and individuals in the growth of their ideas, events and marketing strategies. Our creative aptitude and team of women with diverse backgrounds and expertise allows for unique ideas. Our passion for perfection makes every client a priority!
 

Carrie Rose Brennan
Manager, Content Queen
 
My personal joy comes from the visual arts and photography. One way I express joy and share it with others is through my photography. My photography seeks to see things from a new perspective: capturing patterns and ratios, the play of light, and of course the product for our customers.
 
I have worked on thousands of websites and use my skill of recognizing patterns to make great user-friendly websites for customers. When I design a website, I try to make it as user-friendly as possible as well as having the overall design capture the aesthetic and ethos of the company. 

The numbers from this event are proof of its success:

• The event hosted at Power2Play, welcomed over 300 guests.
• 20 vendors were on hand in support of the work that Dementia Together does.
• 30 volunteers came together to help the event run smoothly.
• The organization’s fundraising goal of $75,000 was met and beyond, thanks to the generosity of supporters and guests!

​Throughout the evening, guests heard from Dementia Together’s Executive Director and other supporters. They heard stories that were both heart-warming and inspiring, and it was clear that the work being done by this amazing organization is truly making a difference in people’s lives.
 
My Big Day Marketing & Events was honored to be a planning partner for such an important and spectacular event! From concept to execution, this event took over 300 planning hours to pull off. Community is an important pillar in all of the work that My Big Day does, and this event was a perfect example of how community and coming together for a common cause can be inspiring and produce good for many!

​This year’s Easter Keg Hunt clues had all of our teams working hard for their booze!

​This year’s annual day-before-Easter event marked the 15th Annual Easter Keg Hunt, crafted, created, and run by My Big Day Marketing & Events.

15 colorful teams took to the streets of downtown Fort Collins for this fun scavenger hunt event full of clue-solving, team shenanigans, and a quest for the golden keg trophy!
 
Stops on this year’s hunt included:
Stuft Burger Bar
Pour Brothers
Copper Muse Distillery
Peacock’s Perch
Thingamjigits
Locust Cider
Old Town Churn
Brand Spankin’ Used
Avogadro’s Number
Fieldhouse at the Fort
 
Avogadro’s Number served as the kick-off spot once again. It’s the perfect location for all of the teams to gather and get pumped up with music, food, and drink!
 
Fieldhouse at the Fort, a newer downtown restaurant and bar, provided a great secret ending location for the teams who found all nine of their “hidden” eggs.
 
The 2023 Fort Collins Easter Keg Hunt Golden Championship Trophy went to the Green Team. They gave it their all to answer the clues quickly and came out on top.

​My Big Day Marketing & Events would like to thank all of the businesses that participated in this year’s event. We would also like to give a special shout-out to our favorite Easter Keg Hunt photographer, Jen West! You will be able to catch some of her photos on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

​How the PESO Model Can Support Your Small Business
 
The PESO model is important for small businesses because it provides a framework for creating an effective and comprehensive marketing and public relations strategy.
Here are some reasons why the PESO model is particularly useful for small businesses:

1. Helps to maximize resources: Small businesses often have limited resources, both in terms of time and money. By understanding the different types of media available through the PESO model, small businesses can determine which channels will be most effective for reaching their target audience and allocate their resources accordingly.
2. Provides a holistic approach: The PESO model takes into account all four types of media - paid, earned, shared, and owned - and encourages businesses to use them in an integrated and strategic way. This helps to ensure that all marketing and PR efforts are aligned and working together towards a common goal.
3. Increases visibility and credibility: By using a combination of paid, earned, shared, and owned media, small businesses can increase their visibility and credibility with their target audience. Earned media, in particular, can help to build trust and credibility with customers, as it is seen as more trustworthy than paid media.
4. Facilitates measurement and evaluation: The PESO model provides a framework for measuring the effectiveness of different media channels and evaluating the success of a marketing and PR strategy. This allows small businesses to track their progress, identify areas for improvement, and adjust their strategy as needed.

Overall, the PESO model is a valuable tool for small businesses looking to create a comprehensive and effective marketing and public relations strategy. By understanding the different types of media available and how they can be used together, small businesses can maximize their resources, increase their visibility and credibility, and achieve their marketing and PR goals.

My Big Day Marketing & Events has the marketing experience and knowledge to help your business use the PESO model to fit your needs. We can help you develop a comprehensive strategy that will deliver results.

Companies that provide quality and worthy employee appreciation programs have the advantage of finding and keeping talent over those that overlook this important part of healthy company culture. These advantages come in the form of:

1. Improved employee morale: When employees feel appreciated and recognized for their hard work, they are more likely to have a positive attitude toward their job and the company they work for. This can lead to a more enjoyable work environment for everyone.
2. Increased motivation: Recognizing and appreciating employees can also boost their motivation and encourage them to continue working hard. This can lead to increased productivity, better performance, and improved job satisfaction.
3. Higher retention rates: Employee appreciation programs can also help reduce turnover rates by showing employees that their hard work and contributions are valued. This helps a stronger commitment to the company to grow!
4. Enhanced employer brand: A company that values and appreciates its employees is likely to have a stronger employer brand. This ultimately helps to attract top talent and improve the company’s reputation both within and outside of the industry.

 
What can you do to ensure that your employees are happy and feel appreciated?
 
While there are many traditional ways to show employees appreciation, the changing work scape has inspired many companies to come up with more effective and creative nontraditional employee appreciation methods.
 

By thinking creatively and finding ways to show appreciation that goes beyond the traditional gift card or bonus, companies can create a culture of appreciation and recognition that will benefit both employees and the company as a whole.
