Idit Ginsberg
Events Manager & Marketing Professional
London, UK |-|-
Personal Summary
A self-motivated, highly organised, creative and adaptable person with excellent experience in coordinating multiple projects and
events simultaneously with a particular emphasis on delivering outstanding customer service in fast paced event and marketing
environments. I consider myself to be a natural leader with a proactive and pragmatic approach who can develop and motivate
others to achieve targets, and who will actively and willingly rise to the challenge.
Working for myself for over 9 years and developing a successful Event Agency with 3 members of staff, organising large scale
conferences, exhibitions, product launches, award/gala dinners and themed events at some of the most exquisite venues has
been a triumphant achievement. Unfortunately due to Covid I had to close Dash of Sparke & have been investing my time to find
a company that organises similar events so that I can continue to use my creativity & inspire a team to deliver spectacular events.
