Grand Blanc Township, MI - October 11, 2024


Behind Your Design is proud to have played a crucial role in the grand opening celebration of John P. O’Sullivan Distributing’s new 200,000-square-foot warehouse in Grand Blanc Township. As a leader in promotional products and event coordination, Behind Your Design was responsible for organizing every detail of the event, including vendor management, entertainment, promotional materials, and overall event logistics, ensuring a seamless and memorable experience for all attendees.


Event Coordination & Logistics

Behind Your Design coordinated the event from the ground up, managing multiple aspects to ensure smooth operations. We meticulously organized the event floor plan, mapping out vendor areas and guest seating, while ensuring traffic flow and accessibility. With an eye for detail, our team crafted the run of show, managing the schedule for speeches, entertainment, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony.


Our staffing efforts ensured that the event was well-supported by knowledgeable personnel, from the event registration team to the on-site assistance for city, state, and government officials. We were also responsible for managing the entertainment, coordinating a local band and background music, enhancing the celebratory atmosphere throughout the day.


Vendor Management

Behind Your Design worked with a variety of trusted vendors to bring the event vision to life. From caterers to audiovisual technicians, we curated a team that delivered top-notch services. Each vendor was carefully selected and managed to ensure that all aspects of the event ran smoothly, and that guests experienced a first-class grand opening.


Promotional Items & Branding

A key part of our involvement was providing high-quality promotional items that captured the brand and spirit of John P. O’Sullivan Distributing. Behind Your Design supplied custom signage, banners, koozies, mouse pads, pens, and swag bags, which were distributed to guests. These branded materials created lasting impressions and reflected the company's commitment to both innovation and community.


In addition to these items, we also designed and manufactured custom Hawaiian shirts for the event staff. These shirts featured the John P. O’Sullivan Distributing logo as well as logos from some of the well-known brands they distribute. The eye-catching, personalized shirts helped unify the event’s theme and made the staff stand out while reinforcing the company’s partnerships with key brands.


We also produced large-scale event signage and banners, ensuring visual branding was prominent throughout the warehouse and event space.


Successful Grand Opening

The event, attended by city, state, and government officials as well as key industry leaders, was a tremendous success. Attendees praised the smooth coordination, entertainment, and professional atmosphere. Our contribution to the grand opening reflects our commitment to excellence and our ability to deliver full-scale event services for our clients.


By providing not only promotional products but also managing every aspect of event logistics, Behind Your Design ensured that John P. O’Sullivan Distributing’s grand opening was a standout success, showcasing their new state-of-the-art facility and reaffirming their place as a leader in the beer distribution industry.

The Fenton Expo celebrated it's 40th year with its event on March 1st & 2nd with over 100 businesses and organizations participating. The Expo provides a great outlet for the community to interact and learn about local businesses, organizations, and resources. We helped to create awesome and standout red bags to match the Ruby in the event logo symbolizing it's 40th anniversary. These bags were passed out to attendees so they could have a place to collect giveaways as they went booth to booth. We also created matching chapsticks. The City of Linden also had a booth at the Expo with a backdrop and table runner that we created for them.

We created a new website design for Total Benefit Systems Inc. ! Total Benefit Systems Inc. is an independent health insurance agency based in Flint, Mi. Their experienced team insures over 385 businesses in Michigan and has over 20 providers to chose from. They work closely with clients to create a plan that fits them and also host informative meetings to help employees and clients understand their coverage and options. This user-friendly website helps potential customers see how Total Benefit Solutions can provide them with the best solution tailored to them and their trustworthiness with customer reviews, staff photos, and a video that shows their staff working and meeting with actual clients. The home, about, and services pages also answers many of the questions that a potential client may have about the services that they provide. There are also several buttons as well as a button in the header that directs the user to a contact form if they wish to request a quote making contact hassle-free and depending upon the initial interaction of a user's interest. The provider page displays what health insurance providers that Total Benefit Systems uses to provide their clients with coverage. Clicking on the logos redirects you to that company's website, this display of transparency shows that Total Benefit Systems will be clear and fair in providing the client with information about the services that they are providing, building trust. The website's more modern design features clear sections with color blocking and prominent elements to attract a user's attention and make finding information and navigating more user-friendly.

This past weekend, Matt and I had the incredible opportunity to be at the Michigan Golf Show at the Suburban Showcase in Novi. We were in the Ally Challenge booth with some amazing people—Lisa Marie, Erin Stone, and Freddy Kopplow. It was a fantastic afternoon of sharing excitement about this year’s Ally Challenge, which will take place from August 18-24, 2025. We also had the pleasure of running into some friends and clients, Lisa and Greg MacDonald, at the show, making the day even more memorable! While the event is months away, we’re thrilled to announce that concert lineups will be revealed very soon, potentially next month! Keep an eye out for our media blitz as we travel around Genesee and Oakland County to announce the talented artists performing at the event.
