Event hosting and virtual meeting design agency, Samme Allen & Associates, has reported a 47% growth in revenue in the first quarter of 2021.
The increase follows a number of new business wins at the agency as a result of expanded services, designed to meet the increased demand and requirements of both online and hybrid events from clients across the global corporate and association sectors.
Samme Allen (pictured), founder and managing director, Samme Allen & Associates, said: “As businesses globally start to reimagine their event strategies, the importance of good meeting design and experienced hosting to achieve better audience engagement is really being highlighted. The agency, whose revenues during 2020 were predominately derived from virtual or hybrid events, now reports that currently, its entire new business enquiries are for online events.”
Allen added: “Despite talk of ‘zoom fatigue’ and the gradual reopening of venues and travel, we are seeing no decline in the demand for online events. In fact, as technology and online meeting design improves, we are forecasting continued demand for the continuation of an online meetings element from our clients.”
As the agency continues to expand, it is offering a complimentary meeting design consultation until the end of April 2021 to provide clients with impartial advice in virtual, hybrid or in person event design.
