Testimonials

DMC Supplier

“Agent 86 Experiences were our DMC supplier for a hugely successful event recently, bringing over 100 people together over 3 days for a programme that included an entirely bespoke mini-festival – and it was a seamless experience from start to finish. The team go above and beyond, finding unique touchpoints and letting us in on local secrets to make everyone who attended feel like they truly saw the best of Byron and Northern Rivers. What I particularly appreciate about working with the team is there is no “one size fits all” – they work dynamically with our own team to ensure nothing falls through the cracks and can effortlessly pick up elements of event organisation outside of a strictly DMC scope, such as registration, accommodation, and collateral.

“Regardless of whether they were pivoting plans due to weather changes, packing in an event, liaising with local suppliers, or coordinating activity days, the team were incredibly professional but not without a sense of humour. The key to pulling off any successful event is a blend of experience, creativity, problem-solving and attention to detail – something Agent 86 Experiences has in spades.”

Client Loyalty Programme

“We’ve worked with Petrina and Agent 86 Experiences for over four years to create ‘money can’t buy’ experiences for our agent loyalty programme. Petrina and her team have consistently over-delivered on this promise for both our business and for our clients.

Petrina’s attention to detail is second to none; she’s a pleasure to work with, and I’ve only received positive feedback from my team, suppliers, and clients. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Agent 86 for creating and delivering high-quality, bespoke experiences that go beyond what’s expected.”

Launch Event

“Petrina’s work on our 2018 internal launch event was amazing. She helped us shape the day to really wow the team and bought a level of expertise and professionalism that was second to none. Her recommendation of a guest speaker made the event really special for the team. All that and she’s just good fun to work with.”

Incentive Programme

“I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Agent 86 for the past five years on our Commercial Incentive Programme called The Winners Circle and The Exceptional’s.  Our top sales performers are awarded prizes on a quarterly basis with each winner being eligible to win the overall annual prize of an invitation to attend the Exceptional’s Experience.  The first three years of Exceptional’s were domestic and encompassed one full day of activities and ended with an awards ceremony dinner and entertainment. The past two years have been offshore events of up to three nights with multiple days of activities each being completely unique and surprising for our participants.  Every year we needed to supersede the previous year’s expectation’s and so each year meant more and more complexity.

Agent 86 has a level of detail and care that I have not seen displayed by any other event or experience company.  From the beginning stages of providing the ideas for the experience right through to the post analysis after the experience every detail was attended to.  Adding to that every event that we have run with Agent 86 has come in within budget and surpassed expectations of what would be delivered.  Attendees are constantly “blown away’ with every detail and there are many many details.  Agent 86 has a large network of contacts and can access artists and venues that others are unable to utilise.

Ultimately any event needs a dedicated crew that will ensure your delegates are surprised, delighted and impressed at every turn.  You can be assured that you will receive this when you employ Agent 86 and Petrina Maxwell.  Petrina is an absolute pleasure to deal with, completely professional and incredibly creative.  Petrina’s ability to simultaneously co-ordinate multiple suppliers, venues, musicians, caterers and delegates is phenomenal.  Even when the weather doesn’t play ball she is in there boots and all making the entire last minute re-organisation look like it was exactly the way that the experience was planned in the first place.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Agent 86 to anyone looking for creative, well-constructed and unique experiences.”

Jenny Fromén | Head of Incentives and Development – NZME

Conference

“I have worked with Petrina and her team to organise one of our key conferences. Petrina’s organisational and creative abilities were key to the success of the event not only in the prior planning but also during the conference. I have high praise for Petrina and her team and would happily use/recommend her for future event management.”

Rob Dibley | Head of General Insurance | AMP

Professional Development Days

“I have worked with Petrina and the team at Agent86 for the past 5 years as she has organised and managed AMP Professional Development Days for us. She has a unique ability to keep me and others at Vero focused and on track with putting the event together. With over 130 attendees this does take some event management skill which she and the team have in spades.  A post event survey from attendees in our 2015 event scored Agent86 100 out of 100 for overall service and event management and 92% said the event met their expectations.

Other reasons you should choose Agent86 for your next event include; their ability to host functions throughout a conference that provide very cool experiences for delegates and our themed dinner on the stage at the St James theatre in Wellington is one such example.

Petrina has a wide circle of contacts be it MC’s or speakers and her sourcing of Ciaran Gribben for us was insightful.

Whether you’re planning your next event for 20 or 200 I have no hesitation in recommending Petrina Maxwell and Agent86 to work incredibly hard for you and put an event on you will be proud of.”
