What is Anniversary University?
Milestone Anniversaries Are Complex to Plan
The stakes are huge! I’ve only got one chance to get this right!
Where do I begin? What
are the best practices?
How do I lead this AND handle my day-to-day responsibilities?
If you have some of these thoughts, you’re not alone!
Navigating the planning of a milestone anniversary is daunting. Even seasoned marketing, communications, and brand professionals need help with where to begin.
If you’re like most, you feel honored to help lead this historic occasion yet challenged by the responsibility and the time it will take. You recognize it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; everyone will be watching, and expectations are high. You have one chance to get this right!
Although there’s a unique opportunity to help boldly shape the future of the organization, it’s tempting to delay getting started because you’ve never led an anniversary before, and very likely no one on the team has either.
If you feel overwhelmed, you’ve come to the right place!
