the story of genevieve

Laura Brewer, one of our event architects, had a long standing obsession with having a giraffe at an event. For years she waited for the appropriate opportunity to include the long necked creature in an event design, but the right chance continued to elude her.

Then during a trip to the company’s warehouse, she fatefully stumbled upon Genevieve the Giraffe. Genevieve had been banished to this frigid, dimly lit prison after earning the reputation of a diva. She refused to live a life surrounded by tacky balloons, streamers, and cliché party music. She knew she was destined to be more than a cheap accessory at children’s birthdays, pediatrician’s offices, and misguided jungle theme parties. But her owners mistook her ambition for attitude and rendered her useless.

Upon learning that Genevieve was headed for the dumpster, Laura demanded the giraffe be released into her care. Laura knew what is was like to erroneously be branded a diva and she was intent on helping Genevieve reach her full potential.

The rescued Genevieve now holds court in the Tribble Creative Group office where she has found personal fulfillment serving as the brand mascot. When visiting the office, you’ll often find Genevieve dressed up in accordance with the seasons or holidays.

Perhaps it was the good spirit of Genevieve’s rescue, but soon after, the wish for a giraffe cameo at an event was granted.

Head Giraffes

Cassie Brown, CSEP – “Sarg”

Though she has a Masters in Tourism & Event Management from George Washington University, her skill for drilling holes to un-flood tents was self-taught.

She has been a fervent student of Ocie Davis who has been patiently giving her drum lessons for over three years.

Some might say she has an aversion to the traditional Caribbean vacation. In the last several years she has chosen to vacation in Thailand, Antarctica, Belize, Egypt, and Finland.

Her wardrobe is like her events – unpredictable, expertly tailored, with an admirable style very few could pull off.

Tracy Bisha

Nickname TBD.  We don’t want to scare her away just yet.

She’s a bona fide Northerner, but you’d never know it. 

Since her best ideas come while she’s working out, we decided that instead of a desk, Tracy would work from a treadmill. 

Tracy appeared shortly after we had said, “We’ll never find the right person to hire.  We give up.”  When a friend of the company who readily admits to liking no one gave her the thumbs up, we knew our instincts were right. 

Tracy obtained her MBA in International Business and Marketing from Niagara University while living in an igloo.  Ok, not a true igloo.  But when your home and car are encapsulated in snow and ice for months on end, you’re not far off from igloo living.  

Laura Brewer – “Brewer”

Though it might not seem inventive, Laura Brewer became “Brewer” during her first week at Tribble Creative Group. It was a necessity – there were three Laura’s in the office and two more in our intern application pile.

If it sparkles, it’s on her desk. If it’s expensive, it’s on her.

While we couldn’t live without her, we really couldn’t live without her mom – she makes us special chex mix before every event.

Genevieve owes her life, and her fame, to Brewer.

Laura Hallett - “Hallett”

Though we weren’t hiring at the time, we were compelled to bring her aboard.  We just can’t seem to say no to people named Laura. 

She’s a rather quiet worker but she makes her presence known by doing pirouettes around the office all day. 

The silent pirouettes are nothing… It’s the fact that she doesn’t like chocolate that has us staring at her in disbelief. 

Just when we thought we found a team activity, along comes Hallett who suffers from shin splints and can’t run.  We’re now considering belly dancing. 

Kim Martin, CSEP – “The Zookeeper”

Though she is known for the highest levels of sanity, functionality, organization, and stability in the office, Kim is not allowed to use scissors.

Kim has been with her husband since 2nd grade. If you saw him, you’d understand. He’s pretty cute.

One look at her event design story boards and you know she used to make all the other kids feel inferior about their dioramas.

Kim must be in constant possession of identification. She would get denied a lottery ticket, never mind a cocktail with out one. In her early years with the company, she hated it and we found it precious. Now, she loves it and we’re starting to feel it’s a little unfair.
