Protagonist is led by CEO Kimberly Colburn and COO Bree Sherry. We love working with technologists, innovators, engineers, and any other industry that’s got a reputation for being jargon dense or dull - we can bring the fun. As professional theatre artists, we take your unique ideas and think outside the box to create sensational events that are never cookie cutter. Check out the interactive robotics and engaging conversation at the Canadian Robotics Council annual symposium we produced, or come on down to Ashland next month to take in an arts festival celebrating Samuel Beckett. We are full service, and can help as much or as little as you like. We specialize in small-to-medium companies without an in-house events staff (or the larger companies whose in-house staff is over-extended!)

We have experience in:

• Logistics Management: venue sourcing and booking, auditioning and hiring caterers, working with rental companies

• Technical Management: a/v coordination, lighting, projection

• Communication and Marketing: from full content creation to social media management

• Ticketing/Registration: we have administered on a number of platforms, including coordinating custom builds

• Activities/Entertainment: we create custom team-building games and activities, we also source and book talent

• Branding: because all of our events are bespoke, your branding is our design approach

Protagonist seamlessly enhances events, facilitates more effective meetings, and makes professional development fun and productive. We help our clients become the heroes of their own stories by providing engaging and interactive experiences that foster collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills.

We specialize in working with technologists, innovators, engineers, and any other industry that’s got a reputation for being jargon dense or dull.

Our background: Kimberly, theatre producer and game lover, has worked across several different industries, and realized she wanted to use creative skills to help teams have fun, work effectively, and develop their skills. She connects a large network of creative professionals to engage corporate professionals. Along with her business parter Bree, a professional stage manager and event producer with decades of experience, they aim to hold knowledge transfer events to an entertainment standard; there’s no reason learning needs to be boring!
