Shellcove has a great understanding of our associations goals and objectives and has assisted us greatly in creating and implementing successful strategies to re-engage with our membership over the last number of years. We are also now experiencing improved relationships with our external stakeholders, helping us grow awareness of ITIA with government agencies and consumers.
Shellcove has played an integral role in the development and delivery of our flagship conference Medtech Rising since 2012, collaborating with the Irish Medtech Association executive and Ibec Events Team. Shellcove’s management of key logistics has allowed our core staff to focus on content development, strategy and growth for the event. Shellcove supports many aspects of the event including sponsor management, processing award entries, speaker coordination, website development, and final event production. Each year has been an overwhelming success, with our most recent event hosting 48 speakers and over 500 delegates.
A key goal of the VFI strategy is to showcase and raise the profile of the pub industry. As part of this Shellcove worked with us in 2017 to develop the Irish Pub Awards which is now the definitive national industry awards programme in Ireland. Shellcove has delivered each year on this goal and has successfully managed our sponsor engagement, event promotion and member relationships throughout.
Since 2006 Shellcove has partnered with SFA on its national small business awards competition. Their project management skills. coupled with expertise in PR ,communications and event management gives us the confidence that this programme is a great success annually. During the pandemic Shellcove helped us to steer these awards through a virtual world with a number of online events and workshops, upholding engagement and attendance throughout.
Our association doesn’t have the biggest budget, but Shellcove continuously raise the benchmark of our campaigns, optimising reach in a cost effective way that suit our budget and existing communications channels.
We have worked with Shellcove twice through the global pandemic and the results have always been fantastic. Shellcove has successfully helped to bring our AGM online for the past two years and the team has been most professional in delivering on the engagement and attendance of our members.
