LEO Events, a global brand\u00a0experience agency, is pleased to announce the additions of Brett Clark, Sr. Media Producer, and Christian Holihan, Creative Director, to its full-time team. Clark and Holihan come to LEO as founders of Agency Rye, a former creative agency based in Nashville.<\/p>\n
The official announcement came in mid-February when Clark and Holihan joined the LEO team full-time. After working with LEO for many years, they felt it was an opportunity to strategize their business model and officially partner with LEO to expand the agency\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the time came for Agency Rye and LEO Events to join forces, we knew it was a great opportunity,\u201d explained Holihan. \u201cBrett and I had the chance to come on board, and it has proved to be a smart, business-savvy decision since.\u201d<\/p>\n
LEO is a reputed live events agency that offers event management, creative brand development, operations, meeting management, entertainment, incentive management, and public events & festivals. LEO\u2019s clients include numerous Fortune 500 companies, nationally recognized non-profits, and community organizations and associations.<\/p>\n
When the pandemic struck in 2022, the agency acted quickly to augment its capabilities and expand services with new solutions in Strategy, Virtual, and Hybrid events. Company leaders believe that this growth opportunity will enhance LEO\u2019s offerings, particularly in-house studio and media production capabilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgency Rye prided itself on solving problems for its clients \u2013 a trait we also greatly admired about LEO,\u201d said Clark. \u201cThe LEO employees (affectionately referred to as The Solutions People) carry those same values, and the transition felt natural.\u201d<\/p>\n
The expansion has proved beneficial for LEO and the former Agency Rye founders. LEO Principal Kent Underwood explains, \u201cWe\u2019re fortunate to have the brainpower behind Agency Rye at LEO. Brett and Christian have brought years of combined experience with them. They\u2019re able to continue focusing on their strengths as event professionals while also adding to LEO\u2019s repertoire of services. The opportunity came at the right time, and we look forward to the continued growth of LEO over the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n
