Big ideas? I’m in.
Small details? …I’m also in.

Marisa Burns

Founder & Principal,
Event Strategy

Philly girl turned Charlestonian. Working globally.
Have passport, will travel.

I’m Marisa Burns, founder of Fox Rose Event Strategy. I bring more than 13 years of event experience across finance, private equity and insurance, with a foundation in luxury hospitality. I’ve led everything from conferences for 500 to intimate business dinners for 10.

I help companies make sense of their event calendars: what each program should accomplish, where the budget will have the most impact and who needs to be involved. Then I stay close to the work to make it happen.

I’m direct, collaborative and calm when things get complicated. You’ll know what I think, what comes next and whether something is worth the money. I take the work seriously, but the process shouldn’t feel like torture.

Building out your events program should be fun. Scrambling through the details? Not fun. 😉
