INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your interest in STAMP Event Management – we are
thrilled to have the opportunity to tell you a bit about our company.
STAMP is the only agency that specializes in the 3 pillars of an
event: production, event logistics and guest management/front-of-
house. STAMP excels when we are able to manage an entire event.
We are experts at process, deadlines and managing budgets; when
we are leading the charge for the entire event, it ultimately
translates into a thoughtful, streamlined and integrated planning
process. Our goal is to make an event that is undeniably yours
without miring you in the details it takes to do it.
In order for an event to be successful, thorough planning needs to
start from the beginning, resulting in an efficient and streamlined
process and allowing for maximum creativity. We will make sure that
your event clearly reflects your company’s brand and profile.
Whether it’s a chic and intimate cocktail party for 50 or a
show-stopping extravaganza for 1,000, we will create an interactive
and memorable experience for your guests from the moment they
walk in the door.
We hope that we have provided enough information to make you
excited to work with STAMP and look forward to the opportunity to
partner with you on an upcoming event!

“I have worked with STAMP since the inception of The
Gentlemen’s Ball in 2008. Since it was GQ’s first time
producing a benefit awards gala, we turned to STAMP
to help us make smart and informed decisions. They are
an ideal company to work with - knowledgeable,
attentive and unflappable. All that, and they’re
a lot of fun to work with!”
KIM TAN
Executive Director
Creative Services, GQ
“STAMP Event Management is my number one choice when
planning an opening for a Broadway Musical. An opening
night on Broadway must be magical and unforgettable, while
on a limited budget. STAMP’s creativity along with their
busines and negotiation savvy, ensures a beautiful and
memorable evening! They bring an unbelievable amount of
expertise and vision to bear on any project. More impotantly,
they are a complete pleasure to work with. Margaret and
Jason’s skills and experience combine to make a potent
package for those looking for the best resource for event
services. I recommend them highly! ”

To
Whom
It
May
Concern:
Please
let
this
letter
serve
as
a
strong
and
unqualified
endorsement
of
STAMP
Event
Management.
Since
2003,
I
have
worked
closely
with
Jason
Burlingame
and
Margaret
Chrisostomo,
both
at
GLAAD
and
at
STAMP.
Since
that
time,
they
have
become
trusted
partners
and
are
my
agency’s
go-‐to
source
for
event
management.
Jason
and
Margaret
worked
closely
with
me
on
an
annual
non-‐profit
event
from
2003
to
2006
when
my
agency
brought
a
Johnson
&
Johnson
brand
on
as
a
sponsor.
The
awards
program
was
the
first
high-‐profile
LGBT
event
ever
sponsored
by
a
J&J
brand
and,
as
such,
was
under
a
high-‐level
of
scrutiny
for
several
years.
For
the
duration
of
this
time,
Jason
and
Margaret
worked
closely
with
my
team
to
deliver
a
flawless
experience
for
our
client.
Their
client
service
and
attention
to
detail
was
second
to
none
and
they
ensured
that
every
need
and
concern
was
addressed.
It
was
during
this
time
that
they
built
a
high-‐level
of
trust
with
my
agency
that
continues
today
with
STAMP.
In
2006,
when
Jason
and
Margaret
launched
STAMP,
my
agency
turned
to
them
to
manage
our
corporate
client
events.
STAMP
gets
high
marks
for
their
creativity,
design,
technical
ability
and
budget
estimates
that
track
to
actuals.
They’ve
also
been
invaluable
to
my
team
for
some
of
our
more
complicated
projects.
One
in
particular
for
a
major
cable
TV
network
was
so
complex
and
difficult
that
I
doubt
many
other
agencies
could
have
handled
the
job.
On
all
assignments
big
and
small,
the
entire
STAMP
team
is
an
absolute
pleasure
to
work
with.
I
strongly
recommend
STAMP.
It
would
seem
unlikely
that
other
management
companies
would
have
the
same
experience,
creative
and
technical
abilities,
insider-‐knowledge
and
community
insights
as
they
do.
If
you
have
any
additional
questions
you
would
like
to
ask
about
my
experience
working
with
STAMP,
do
not
hesitate
to
contact
me
at
212-‐245-‐6040
ext
300.
Sincerely,
Matthew

Tumminello
President

STAMP produced this event at Jazz at Lincoln Center. The
show needed a major overhaul and the unionized venue
created an additional set of challenges. STAMP served as
the Executive Producer, Technical Director, Line Producer
and Stage Management, while also handling the event
logistics and guest management. More than 25 awards were
given and close to 700 guests attended.

Ghost: The Musical Opening Night Party
STAMP produced this “streets of New York“ themed event
at The Waterfront (formerly known as The Tunnel Event
Space), a raw space that required innovative lighting,
inspired installations, and illustrious design elements to
turn an avenue-long hallway into an event worthy of the
who’s who of Broadway. STAMP served as the Producer,
managing all aspects of design, production, and event
logistics. More than 1200 guests attended.

11. EVENTLOGISTICS
We love the unexpected, but we don’t believe in surprises.
A successful event doesn’t happen by accident or by will. It
happens with thoughtful planning.
In the big 3 of event planning – production, event
logistics and guest management – logistics sometimes gets
the short end of the stick. We get it. It’s the least glamorous
and most tedious part of an event, but it’s an area that we
are great at and will apply our expert planning skills to your
event to ensure a seamless experience for your guests.

13. GUESTMANAGEMENT
At the heart of every event are your guests; we’ll make
sure they feel taken care of while managing every detail for
them. Their experience from the time they arrive through
the event will be smooth, intuitive and an overall excellent
experience. We focus on the front of house to ensure that
all of the must-dos are covered and that your guests feel
like they are experiencing something special upon arrival
and as they move through the event.
We are prepared to handle all logistics for ticketed and
seated events as well. Whether it’s individual ticket
purchasers, table buyers or corporate partners, we provide
them with tailored service to make their experience at your
event the best it can be. While we are taking care of your
guests, we’ll also take care of your staff – managing the
guest administrative work, freeing them up to focus on
organization-specific work that only they can do.

GLAAD Media Awards
Managing the details of more than 3,000 guests for 3 events
in 3 cities is challenging. But we have worked hard over the
years to learn and understand GLAAD’s unique and
changing guest management system. We know that there
are some areas that require manual work. And despite how
fast and furious information may fly, we stay focused and
singular in our task, keeping detailed and accurate records.
We maintain professional communications - providing
consistency, constancy, and immediate responses to guests.
We understand the technical part of guest management
and know how to balance it with the human part of taking
care of guests.
