A Decade of ROI for our Clients

Measuring Esprit’s results is directly linked to our clients’ success and our strong relationships with them over the years. We’ve followed their evolving narratives as organizations, and been invited back to support them through creative ideas, solutions, and quality meeting services that have aided their overall growth and success. Here are three examples.

Nielsen – Ten years ago, Nielsen was part of foreign-owned VNU before being bought out by the Carlyle Group. Since then, CEO Dave Calhoun and his senior management team has driven Nielsen’s innovation and expertise and continues to be the world-wide leader in media measurement and ratings. Esprit’s role in this success has been to produce Nielsen’s annual Consumer 360 Customer Conference through staging, production, live streaming and working amid a broader team to deliver world-class presentations that have meshed visually among other conference elements.

Siemens Infrastructure & Cities Sector/Building Technologies (BT) Division – This division a decade ago was just becoming a rising leader for one of the world’s largest corporations. Then in 2010, BT leadership, including CEO Daryl Dulaney and CFO Axel Meier, helped launch its Infrastructure and Cities (IC) Sector in North America to design and manufacture sustainable products and services. Esprit’s role in this success has been in producing a wide range of meetings for many of IC’s business units. This includes IC’s annual leadership conference, and Building Technologies’ Annual Management Meeting, providing forums to discuss and plan performance activities and recognition of their top performers.

BigMachines – As a startup in 2007 servicing sales operations for large companies, BigMachines needed a big idea to feature a new product for a specific group of U.S. buyers. Esprit’s role in this solution was in planning and producing their new annual customer conference, BigIdeas. Esprit created an annual user conference which, in the words of their Chief Marketing Officer: “Made us look bigger than what we are”. Both conferences helped BigMachines grow, establish themselves as a leader in their sales software category, and become a valuable partner with SalesForce.com. In late 2011, it segued from its original investors to a major buyout from a venture capital firm.
