Parris Kent on Event Planning:

“Creating an experience out of a blank slate is something I learned early in my career in Sydney, Australia. Working in a national marketing role for an importing company, delivering state government marketing programs and policies, and delivering marketing & public relations for a national Disney distributor, laid the foundation for a deep understanding of marketing, branding and events.

“Returning to the US in early 2000, my actual birthplace, I found my niche working in marketing and branding for fortune 500 companies. Starting with MarchFIRST, Aon, Inc and 7+ years in global marketing roles for Motorola, Inc. and Motorola Solutions.

“Parris Productions stemmed from 18+ years of global marketing & communications, branding and events experience in both corporate and non-for-profit organizations. Learning from some of the most talented people across the globe, and working for companies that demand excellence through innovation and dynamic marketing programs, I bring an elegant flare to the possibilities in event production.

“Don’t let the strong Australian accent fool you, I was born in the US! Though I spent my childhood in Australia, I've traveled the globe for business and pleasure and landed in Chicago where I live with my husband and our puppy, Jett.”
