My name is Tope Chiedozie - I created and run a brand new LIVE Q+A event called:
THE SITDOWN provides a platform for entrepreneurs,personalities and celebrities to share their story and connect with their fans in an intimate and informal space.
The SITDOWN is an event that takes place every 3 months ,where I interview guests and help them to unpack their life stories. Stories that we hope will inspire and empower others around them.
The event welcomes audiences from the guests core following and gives them the perfect opportunity to come from behind their screens and 'comment sections' to engage and ask the questions they've always wanted to ask.
"The Sitdown slogan- Real Lives, Real Conversations - represents our desire and determination to change perceptions and bring real life issues to the forefront. We provide our guests a platform to truly speak on what it’s like behind the scenes, in an honest, yet informal setting."

BRANDING
Building a brand new event from scratch meant that I had to ensure the branding and marketing was executed to a high standard. I sought out an online design program and taught myself how to create the flyers and the logos,with a clean and recognisable design.
AUDIENCE FEEDBACK
To ensure we could track how our audiences were experiencing the event and to make necessary adjustments to the layout along the way, I built into the event programme a section where everyone was required to fill out an online feedback form via the online form building software- type form.
Capturing this data at the event ,rather than requesting the audience to do it in their own time was crucial to getting a real time sense of what people were feeling and experiencing.
These were then collated and posted throughout our social media channels to garner interest for the next event.
