About

Hi, I’m Keri Bunkers. I’m an Executive Event Producer and Experiential Marketing Manager with more than a decade of experience delivering multi-faceted corporate and entertainment events for top brands in sports, entertainment, retail, and beyond. I’m a client-facing leader with a clear communication style, strong project management skills, and a proven track record of building lasting relationships. I excel at strategy, experiential design, budget management, venue/vendor coordination, stakeholder relationships, and post-event analysis, consistently delivering engaging experiences that align with business goals.

I’ve built and mentored teams of all sizes, integrated partners and sponsors, and driven end-to-end execution from concept through on-site delivery. My hands-on approach covers creative strategy, builds/fabrication, tech, décor, F&B, staffing, and post-mortems, with a focus on collaboration, accountability, and measurable impact for clients and partners alike.
