Written by Camie Dunbar | Aug 15, 2018 8:41:16 PM

At Innovative Group (IG), our team is excited to share we have been recognized among Event Marketer Magazine’s “It List” of the Top 100 Event Agencies for 2018. According to Event Marketer:

“This year’s ‘It List’ consistently delivers exceptional experiences backed by impactful creative and well-defined strategy. The kind of campaigns that give you goosebumps. The kind that make you want to share what you’re experiencing.”

“We’re truly honored and appreciative to receive such recognition. As an experiential event agency, it is our privilege to be able to create one-of-a-kind events for our clients and larger-than-life experiences for their audiences. As such, we’re thrilled to be a recipient of one of the experiential marketing awards and to show prospective customers (and fans!) just what we can do.” said Jared Shattuck, Chief Operating Officer, Sales & Marketing.

What Sets Innovative Group Apart from Other Event Agencies

  • Global Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Events
  • Sales and Marketing Activations

  • Ticketing Services

The real kicker, though, is that we do all of this while using an exclusive fleet of assets at our disposal. Oh, yeah, we didn’t mention those yet? No worries — they’re just another reason why IG stands out from other event and experiential marketing companies.

MAXimus: A Live Event Experience Like No Other

Our team is always trying to take our experiential marketing events to the next level. This is why we make it possible to use the very same truck that celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay wheeled around in for his show “24 Hours to Hell & Back.” MAX, our Mobile Activation Xperience, is a fully-outfitted culinary destination that would leave even the most successful chefs reeling with envy.

This 72-foot mobile asset offers a self-sustaining, state-of-the-art kitchen (equipped with top amenities, of course) that doubles as an expandable concert stage. The semi-truck is replete with:

  • Top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances
  • A cutting-edge, high-powered outdoor sound system and high-definition (HD) cameras
  • Touch-screen audio and visual controls
  • Fully-loaded entertainment options (complete with a 25’ flip-up Jumbotron and additional 55” monitors)
