My name is Andie Cobarruvias. I am a Texas-based event producer and designer specializing in the strategy, planning, and execution of live events. For the past fifteen years, I have been working with clients from around the globe. My passion for events led me to work on projects with some of the most recognized brands in the world including Dell, NBC, Warner Bros, Mashable, the NFL, SXSW, the ABC Kite Festival, various movie premieres, product launches, to some of the most intimate gatherings and celebrations.
I understand that today consumers need to physically engage with products. Brands are in-turn responding with live, face-to face opportunities for audiences to connect through thought-provoking, memorable, first-hand experiences. This is where word of
mouth begins. I create bold, original experiential programs such as festivals, concerts, corporate incentive programs, product launches, community and non-profit events with one goal in mind: create a memory.
I love helping businesses connect to their audience and tell their story. I see my relationship with clients as a truly collaborative one that’s built on mutual understanding and cooperation.
It is because of my experience, that I have been able to grow and maintain a large network of professional relationships within the events and entertainment industry. When you hire me you can rest easy knowing you will have an experienced team behind you, minding the details while you focus on your ongoing projects.
I am passionate about the projects and clients for which I work. I seek to create a better world and love working with clients who feel the same. I am always interested in collaborating— let’s chat about your next project!
