This presentation was a hypothetical event plan for Olipop soda. The presentation showcases the mission, vision, and values as well as employee experience through research of the company.
2. Behind the Scenes
How we came to be:
A group of eco-friendly friends sharing the same values of community and
connection, came together and began hosting small events featuring local
musicians and artists. It quickly became an event the members of our community
began to look forward to. We decided to turn this hobby into our lifestyle, and Unity
Events was born. Now we exist to create small events in order to bring people
together in a fun, sustainable, and artistic way.
Leaders/Founders:
Liana- Music/ Arts Enthusiast
Delaney- Logistics manager
Ava- Vendor Coordinator
3. Mission: Unity Events specializes in intimate events that bring unity
among members of the community, while maintaining sustainable
practices and emphasizing the importance of healthy living.
Mission, Vision, and Values
Values: Unity Events values: sustainability, inclusivity, creativity,
mindfullness, and healthy living. These are used to shape every event
experience that we create and are reflected in all our practices.
Vision: Unity Events will be the first option to come to mind when
planning your next event, being known for our eco-friendly practices,
healthy options, and priority to bring communities closer together.
4. Icons:
● Live music
● good food
● warm weather
Sacred words:
● “fulfilling”,
● “Eco-friendly”
● “Inclusive”
● “Mind-opening”
● “feeling good”
● “health is wealth”
5. Rituals:
We strive to ignite a change in the minds of our participants so
we have made a tradition of gifting participants with a “care
package” composed of local, sustainably made health products,
to ignite their journey towards health.
We also like to close the experience with a group meditation
session to provide a mind opening experience and leave
participants with a sense of unity and mindfulness.
Non-believers:
It is important to acknowledge that not all members of a
community will be willing to participate. This might include
people that don’t prioritize health and sustainability or
people that prefer to not support local businesses or shop
locally.
6. Olipop: a new beverage brand created to cater to those who enjoy
simple pleasures in life such as soda.
Olipop is different from name brand sodas, due to their
commitment to transforming their beverages into a healthy drink
that will provide greater benefits than others.
They have dedicated a lot of time to finding ingredients that are
healthy for digestion and full of flavors, and will continue this
research in order to adapt and create the best version of their
products!
Olipop is hoping to build their customer base as well as use their
brand to promote unity among communities around the world.
This is where Unity Events will come in and create an experience
that is conducive to the goals and values that Olipop has set.

8. Behavior Change
● The stakeholders I will be analyzing are the vendors. This groups
together the food/art vendors that will be present at the event.
● Prior to the event, it is anticipated that the vendors will be excited to
attend the event and raise awareness of their businesses, but also
nervous of how people will respond to their products.
● It is the goal that after the event the vendors feel a sense of
accomplishment from the positive feedback from the attendants and
making new connections, and inspiration for future work.
9. Why use Empathy Maps?
● We like to use empathy maps in order to outline every aspect of our
stakeholder’s experience before and after the event.
● This helps us fully empathize with our stakeholder as we dig into their
emotions, thoughts, actions, and how they are affected by the event
(pains, gains).
● As we value mindfulness and connectivity, this practice emphasizes
those values as we step into the perspective of our stakeholders.

analyze how the stakeholder is being impacted before, during, and after
