Ceris Burns International

Marketing Communications Management

Exhibitions & Events

Successful exhibitions and events need a solid plan but without excellent organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail you’ll have a tough time. Ceris Burns International has a great track record in exhibition and event management both home and away.

We provide turn-key exhibition management services where we take care of everything from space booking to stand design, build and breakdown, or we can just look after the details; your graphics, promotional literature and press releases. We also provide consultancy to ensure that you maximise the value of your show attendance. We have experience of national and international shows and will do as much or as little as you require.

Got a new product to launch? Running a road show, open day, corporate hospitality or staff party? Whether you plan to invite 6 or 600 we can make it unique and very memorable. We’ve managed product launches in the UK, press conferences in South Africa, boat trips in Holland, road shows in Germany and posh dinner parties in Italy. We can do it all, from booking the venue to drawing up the attendees list and designing the invitations. Let us take the worry so you can enjoy the party!

Turn-Key Exhibition Services

We can take care of everything from space booking and stand design, build and breakdown, to provision of occasional staff and catering.

Event Press Coverage

Exhibitions and events are great opportunities to raise your company profile or promote your product/service range but… you need time to prepare the copy and meet the deadlines. We can submit expertly crafted press releases, liaise with editors, arrange journalist interviews and invite opinion leaders to events on your behalf.

Show Value Maximisation

Exhibitions take a massive chunk out of most marketing budgets but how many people really track their return on exhibition investment? We work with you to set a plan and objectives for the show and make sure you achieve these. Highly measurable sales goals will be set and we’ll also look at corporate issues such as raising profile or gaining buy-in from opinion leaders.

Events

Product Launches

We can manage product or company launches in any location. Our product launch service includes every detail from venue booking, delegate lists, product demonstrations and refreshments. We can also manage press attendance and our creative services will take care of design and print requirements.

Road Shows

Logistically road shows can be tricky as you’re looking at multiple venues and often several speakers. Our road show service can provide the full works from detailed schedule planning and development of materials to publicity and liaison with speakers.

Social Events

This should be a fun one for us and for you! We really enjoy organising social events and whether it’s your annual Christmas bash or a special celebratory dinner we’ll advise you every step of the way.

Corporate Hospitality

From sporting and cultural days out to corporate golf days and luxury cruises we can make your hospitality ideas a reality. If you don’t have an idea yet then we’ll be happy to put our thinking caps on for you!

Case Study

International Business Wales – Medica 2006

IBW Welsh Pavillion - Medica 2006

International Business Wales (IBW) issued a brief to design and build their Welsh Pavilion at the Medica 2006 exhibition. IBW is the Welsh Assembly Government's international trade and investment body.

The design for IBW was a response to the clients desire to make an inviting and eye catching stand, one where clients and other parties would feel comfortable and also assist in engaging customers with the services offered. The central area of the stand was designed to be a business meet & greet with the perimeter stand space being dedicated to individual Welsh companies exhibiting on a shell scheme basis. For other smaller budget companies providing services as opposed to selling products, there was the opportunity to take exhibiting space on individual display pods.

All objectives were achieved and IBW and their co-exhibitors had a very successful Medica. Extremely positive comments were received with regards to the overall management of the design and build of the stand. The working relationship between the two companies continues to grow as they work together on further projects.
