We have feet on the street that know the local scene in major cities around the globe. Our hotel and venue relationships give us access to locations that deliver the right attendee experiences from moment to moment and provide the perfect backdrop for important brand events. These relationships, combined with our expert sourcing, negotiation, and contracting process, give our clients access to premier locations they may otherwise miss.”

We Envision the Final Production

Together, clients and Trademark SiteSelect experts identify potential locations and imagine creative ways to add dimension and richness to each space, transforming it into an impactful brand experience. 

The SiteSelect team brings first-hand knowledge of optimal event cities, hotels and special lodging, live presentations and production, entertainment and designed experiences, food and catering, access and travel, and optimal seasons. Trademark can identify spaces that are easily lent to design, creativity, and production yet offer form, flexibility, and function to tell important client stories. 

Trademark SiteSelect will be led by hospitality industry professional Alison Jayne, who will serve as Global Sourcing Director.

With a personal network of relationships at the highest levels of premier hotel chains, resorts, boutique and independent hotels, and venues worldwide, she is an expert at navigating the nuances of site selection, contracts, and the details affecting cost and return on investment.  As an advocate for Trademark SiteSelect clients, Alison knows how to work with hotels, venues, municipalities, and visitors bureaus, to amend contracts, waive fees, and do whatever it takes to secure the right place at the right time for the best price. 

Contracts, Dates, and Details Delivered With White Glove Service

Once target dates and cities are identified, Trademark manages the entire RFP process.
