Qonto Achieves Strategic Goals with Naboo’s Support
The collaboration between Qonto and Naboo resulted in an exemplary corporate party, a testament to the power of streamlined event management in achieving high-value corporate objectives. From the initial brief, a sophisticated team celebration in Milan, Naboo's expert team, led by Event Manager Elena Locati, worked closely with the client to translate their vision into a tangible success. The focus was on delivering an experience that was both seamless and memorable, ensuring every detail contributed positively to the overarching goal of team appreciation and connection.
The evening's program was a carefully curated sequence of high-impact services. The catering and beverage service, including a generous "APERITIVO and OPEN BAR," was met with high praise.
"Everything was super! We ate and drank a lot, more than I thought! Everyone ate well and drank very well! The staff were super attentive, and everything went very, very well!"
This positive feedback underscores the successful execution of a complex catering plan for 120 attendees, a common challenge in large-scale high-value corporate events.
The entertainment was another cornerstone of the event’s success, featuring a DJ, a close-up magician, and a violinist. The quality of these artists significantly elevated the atmosphere. The DJ, who managed the audio system and overall ambiance, was singled out for his impactful presence.
"DJ: super, 5/5! He immediately understood the mood, and had a great presence!"
The close-up magician was equally well-received, adding an element of interactive wonder to the party.
"Magician: super appreciated, 5/5!"
Furthermore, the violinist added a touch of elegance and sophistication to the start of the evening.
"Violinist: super available from the start of the evening, bravo!"
This selection of diverse, high-quality entertainment highlights Naboo’s ability to secure and coordinate professional talent, turning a standard corporate gathering into a truly exceptional event. Even the caricaturist, while in high demand, contributed positively to the overall festive atmosphere.
The post-event feedback from Qonto's contact, Chloé Tomassini, further affirmed the success of the partnership. The focus of the entire corporate party was to create a successful, celebratory environment, and the positive feedback confirmed this.
