Thursday the 17th<\/sup> October Let\u2019s Talk Events & Leisure had the pleasure to welcome Emily Hall, Business Development Manager and Tony Jacques, Marketing Director from Crafty Arty World Group.<\/p>\n\"Crafty<\/a>\n

Crafty Arty World Group has grown organically at a rapid pace the past years and experienced a steep learning curve. Starting as a local company organising arts courses for children they got a call that would change everything to come. They were asked to organise a children\u2019s party and realised quickly that there was a gap in the market. Today 99% of the business is London based though the office is based next to a beautiful meadow in Dorset. They have 3 companies under the umbrella Crafty Arty World i.e. Crafty Arty Parties\u2122, Tikes & Tiaras\u2122 and Prop Dead Gorgeous\u2122 http:\/\/www.craftyartyworld.com\/<\/a> and have plans to develop even further. \u00a0They deliver corporate and private children parties with bespoke and creative solutions. Everything is made specifically for each event. The company organises the biggest corporate children\u2019s party in London for the 3rd<\/sup> year running. Tony explains that \u201ccorporate clients has moved away from merely treating their employees and clients and are now focusing largely on family events. Happy children make for happy parents and happy employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emily graduated from the Events Management program at School of Tourism in 2012. She started her journey with the company as a placement student and is now responsible for up to high profile 30 clients at one time. She tells the story of the first time she was invited by her manager to be part of a pitch. \u201cI have done bungee jumping and I honestly thought that it at least can\u2019t be as bad as that. They are just humans in that room and they are not going to eat me\u201d.\u00a0 Emily won the pitch and was promoted.<\/p>\n\"Emily<\/a>\n

\u201cWhat did you think about when you hear children\u2019s party?\u201d Tony asked the students. They would find out that it is much more than balloons, clowns and cupcakes involved. Crafty Arty World Group is an event production company from start to finish. The audience learned about the ups and downs when it comes to building client relationships, answering to briefs, landing a pitch, and finally delivering and event. The biggest challenge is to get into the door. \u201cThere is no one way to get a client and sometimes it can take years of work to get that meeting\u201d says Emily. She also stressed how important it is to make the clients remember you, be creative, and know your finances. But most of all make sure to get a signature on that contract.<\/p>\n

\"Tony<\/a>The future looks bright for Crafty Arty World Group. They are launching a new brand, developing their e-marketing and increasing international business. After Christmas Tony and Emily will fly to New York in the search for new opportunities. When Crafty Arty World Group met with students after the presentation the room was packed. They are currently looking for students to do casual work as well as offering graduate opportunities. If you are interested contact Emily at Emily.hall@craftyartyparties.com<\/a>\u00a0 or Tony Jacques at Jacques@craftyartyparties.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
