Fortino's event fireworks on beach

The Experience

When Fortinos set out to celebrate their top franchisees and partners, the TK Events team brought our blend of project, event and destination management to the company’s annual travel and reward program.

Understanding the client’s audience drove all our planning decisions. From personalized travel arrangements and to-the minute communication in our mobile app, to 4 full days of customized on and offsite experiences, to staying behind when winter weather delayed flights for some of the guests – our customer service first approach meant a white glove experience for Fortino’s one hundred invited guests.

 

The Event

The client wanted the full advantage of an event agency with an objective of bringing a refreshed approach to their 25+ year annual program. TK Events brought expertise of creative concepts along with end-to-end project and event management while leveraging our international network of destination venues and local suppliers.

 

The result: a weeklong memorable experience where guests not only celebrated their successes together but were immersed in customized activities that married the company’s culture with the beauty and uniqueness of the destination.
