branded experiences that actually move business forward
From elevated gifting to full-scale events, I take execution off your team’s plate and ensure every detail is aligned, intentional, and built to drive results.
WHERE GOOD IDEAS FALL APART
You have great ideas—client gifts, events, experiences—but not the time or structure to execute them well.
So things get rushed.
Vendors are pieced together.
And what should feel thoughtful ends up feeling average.
THAT’S WHERE I STEP IN
I take ownership of your experience initiatives—from branded gifting to fully executed events—so your team doesn’t have to manage the moving pieces.
Everything is aligned to your goals and executed without the internal strain.
START SMALL, SCALE STRATEGICALLY
Most clients start with branded gifting and expand into larger experience strategy from there.
Branded Products & Gifting
Custom-curated client and team gifts
Branded product sourcing and development
Event gifting and welcome experiences
Experience Design
Client events and activations
Executive and VIP experiences
Sales-focused gatherings
Execution & Oversight

And once there’s a plan in place, execution is where most teams get stuck.

Ready to Get Something Off Your Plate?
Not every experience should feel the same, and where it happens matters.
Locally Sourced. Strategically Designed
I integrate local vendors, makers, and experiences to create something more memorable—and more meaningful for your audience.
Through my Experience Columbus involvement and partnerships, each experience is designed to feel connected, intentional, and rooted in place.
Strategic by Background. Creative by Design.
I bring a background in operations, homebuilding, and large-scale event leadership—combined with a focus on creating experiences that actually support business goals.
Most teams don’t need more ideas—they need someone to carry them through.
I also work closely with builders on lead conversion strategy through my role with Convertly, giving me direct insight into what drives engagement and sales today.
Let’s Build Something That Works
Whether you need a single, high-impact gift or full execution of an event, I’ll step in and carry it forward.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rita Ramey as both a speaker and vendor at several events she’s facilitated, and I can confidently say she is one of the most organized and thoughtful event professionals I’ve worked with. Her communication is always clear, timely, and helpful, and every event I’ve participated in has run like clockwork. As a speaker, I always felt well taken care of—everything I needed was anticipated and handled with ease, which allowed me to focus entirely on delivering value to attendees. She brings both professionalism and a genuinely kind presence to every project.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Rita planned, coordinated, and facilitated many events for our company each year, all of which she did with exceptional extra touches that led to glowing feedback from everyone who experienced them. These events ranged from intimate team retreats with around a dozen participants, large and complex conferences with hundreds of attendees, and medium-sized business owner summits with a few dozen leaders. At each one, her signature creativity was on full display, as she thought of every possible minor memory point to make the experiences special while succeeding in delivering the big picture mission. She has a unique gift for creating connection, warmth, and results.
