Kelly Lovell-Taylor

Head with us to the sunny state of Arizona, where we catch up with Kelly Lovell-Taylor, Marketing & PR Officer at Tempe Center for the Arts. Kelly, who recently won the Impact Award at the 2022 EAMC Conference, talks about her involvement in the creation of the Tempe Black Employee Alliance, the first black employee group established in any government organization in Arizona. She walks us through the process of its creation, and what it has meant to city employees. She takes us through challenges of the last couple of years, working through unique quirks of the venue, and unique ways Tempe Center for the Arts adapted in 2020. Buckle up as we explore Kelly’s career adventure - from Canadian venue roots to the promoter side with Harlem Globetrotters and Cirque du Soleil - learn how different sides of the industry compliment each other. This episode is great for someone digging for career advice or looking to find ways to bring their authentic self into the workplace.Kelly Lovell-Taylor: Facebook | Instagram | LinkedInTempe Center for the Arts: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram ––––––ADVENTURES IN VENUELANDFollow on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, or X/TwitterLearn more about Event & Venue Marketing ConferenceMeet our team:Paul Hooper | Co-host, Booking, Branding & MarketingDave Redelberger | Co-host & Guest ResearchMegan Ebeck | Marketing, Design & Digital AdvertisingSamantha Marker | Marketing, Copywriting & PublicityCamille Faulkner | Audio Editing & MixingHave a suggestion for a guest or bonus episode?
