 We are thrilled to announce that My Big Day is now BIG DEAL Company! After 17 years in business, MBD now has a BIGGER focus. ‘BIG DEAL’ more accurately represents our business philosophy. Every client is a BIG DEAL! We provide creative experiences that connect. BIG DEAL is a full-service marketing & events company. Proudly women-owned. Happy to help you bring JOY to your job. Ask us how!  BIG DEAL Company O) 970-613-1455 C) 303-886-3068 1635 Foxtrail Dr. #340, Loveland, CO 80538 BigDealCompany.com At MBD Marketing & Events, we know how to mix work and play to create a truly fun and engaging work environment. We pride ourselves on bringing energy and enthusiasm to our work every day. All of us find meaning and joy in the work we do for our clients. Here’s how each member of our team brings “Joy to the Job!”  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.  Marissa Rogers Exceptional Event Expert One of my strengths is learning the little things that are most important to my clients, and my attention to detail. Sometimes the smallest details can make the biggest impact by featuring those details in an event. I look out for those little, surprise "wow" moments and how I can incorporate them into an event to make it really personalized and special. Our team listens first. We are passionately curious about you and your business – what moves you and what you want to accomplish. We offer custom business support plans, based on your business size and goals.

That was certainly the case at Dementia Together’s Joy on the Journey fundraising event that My Big Day Marketing & Events had the pleasure of planning last week.  The numbers from this event are proof of its success:
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 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.

Table setting guidelines and tips may vary based on the occasion and cultural context. However, some general guidelines and tips can help you create a beautiful and functional table setting. Whether you are hosting a formal dinner party, a casual brunch, or a romantic dinner for two, a well-set table can enhance the dining experience and make your guests feel welcome. Below are some helpful tips from My Big Day. 
 Sample Table Settings: Informal -Place a large dinner plate in the middle of a place mat. -If soup is being served, a soup bowl is placed on top of the dinner plate. -The fork is placed to the left of the plate. -The knife and spoon are on the right. The knife is positioned directly next to the plate with the blade facing in. The spoon is right of the knife. -Soup spoons can be found to the right of the beverage spoon. -If salad is being served, include a smaller salad fork to the left of the dinner fork. -And what’s dinner without bread? The bread plate is placed above the forks with a butter knife on top. -Place the water glass directly above the knife. -As for the napkin, placement is at the discretion of the host. Under the forks or between the dinner plate and bowl are two popular choices.  Formal A formal place setting is very similar to the informal, just with a few more add-ons. -Begin with the informal setting. -Include a wine glass next to the water glass above the knife. -A dessert spoon can be added to the right of the beverage spoon, a fork can be placed to the right of the dinner fork, both placed above the plate, or simply brought out with the course. -To dress your table up a bit, add a charger beneath the dinner plate for extra flare.  As with any event, make it your own! These are simply guidelines and are not absolute rules. Feel free to create your own table setting that will make your table unforgettable. Table setting is an art that requires attention to detail and creativity. By following these guidelines and tips, you can create a beautiful and functional table setting that enhances the dining experience and makes your guests feel welcome. Remember, the table setting should reflect your personality, theme and style, so have fun and experiment with different ideas!  The PESO model is a framework used in public relations and marketing to categorize different types of media and communication channels. The acronym stands for: ● Paid media: This includes any type of advertising that a company pays for, such as display ads, paid search ads, social media ads, and sponsored content. Paid media is typically used to promote products, services, or events, and is often designed to reach a wider audience than other forms of media. ● Earned media: This refers to the publicity that a company or brand has earned through editorial coverage, news stories, reviews, social media mentions, and other types of non-paid media. Earned media is typically seen as more credible than paid media since it is not controlled by the company or brand. ● Shared media: This includes social media platforms, blogs, and other online communities where people share content with each other. Shared media can be a powerful tool for companies to engage with their audience, build relationships, and encourage user-generated content. ● Owned media: This refers to any content that a company or brand creates and controls, such as its website, blog, email newsletters, and other marketing materials. Owned media is important for establishing a brand's identity and providing information to customers, and can also be used to drive traffic to other types of media.  By understanding the different types of media and how they can be used together, companies can create more effective marketing and public relations campaigns. The PESO model can help them decide which types of media to focus on, and how to integrate them into a comprehensive strategy.  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:
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. Download our FREE printable of the PESO model below!
