RECOGNITION

At Blackbox we believe that what our clients say about us is
much more important than whatever we might say about ourselves.

“The vision we had for this kickoff event was not only realized but surpassed in its execution. That’s not just my view—it’s the resounding feedback we received from customers, clients, and partners alike."

- Vice President of Sales

"The level of knowledge, expertise and customer service surpasses my expectations. Blackbox is also able to accommodate our many changes in a timely and efficient manner, which is highly regarded from the entire events team. Their professional personas and dedication makes them a pleasure to work with."

Jessica – Event Lead

"Our customers were impressed by the detail and flawless execution. Blackbox felt like a true extension of our team—bringing care, precision, and pride to every project."

- VP of Product

"Blackbox is thorough, service-driven, and works seamlessly with our executive team. Their creative theme work is strong, production runs smoothly, and their team's support and dedication consistently meet—and often exceed—expectations."

Gene – Manager, Canada IMT Events

"The level of knowledge, expertise and customer service surpasses my expectations. Blackbox is also able to accommodate our many changes in a timely and efficient manner, which is highly regarded from the entire events team. Their professional personas and dedication makes them a pleasure to work with."

Jessica – Event Lead

"When I stepped into leadership, our brand felt dated and our vision unfocused. Blackbox guided us through a strategic refresh—developing a clear identity, a compelling brand, and a renewed sense of purpose. Today, we have a standout website, a professional corporate video, and a brand we’re proud of—all thanks to Blackbox."

Paul – VP & Regional Director

"I don't have the words to capture how thrilled I was to see the way you were able to bring our vision to life.
It far exceeded my expectation… blown away. Thank you for being collaborative partners who brought a depth of expertise, skill, creativity and professionalism to this first of a kind project for Canada.

I could not be happier with the outcome!”

Lisa - National Events Marketing Manager / Demand Programs

"You created a highly successful presentation that created a real buzz at the show!"

Paul – US Partner Marketing

Steve – Director, Recognition Programs

"It’s a true pleasure to partner with Blackbox on our recognition strategy and communications. I always feel they’re personally invested in the best outcome and they are constantly looking for ways to be supportive and to improve our program."

Candice – Assistant Manager, Recognition Programs

"We had to postpone this event a few times and Blackbox was able to handle all of the changes without missing anything. Blackbox did everything they could possibly do to keep us within budget – very impressive! And they were quick to get the reconciliation in when we needed it."

Laura – Event Manager

"Blackbox’s communication skills, attention to detail, and professionalism are unmatched. They provide great value in their work from diligent venue searches to negotiating cost savings. Of note were my two Q1 Launch events where high-level executives were in attendance including the GM. They were well executed and had excellent results."
