We’re launching something new.
Turn an event ambition into something the organization can build, operate, and grow.
Event leadership + advisory
Make events work as part of the business—not apart from it.
Three Thirty Nine Collective brings experienced event leadership, strategy, and operational perspective to organizations navigating growth, change, complexity, or a consequential event opportunity.

When to call us
Start with the situation—not the service.
You do not need to determine which engagement you need before speaking with us. Start with what is happening, what the organization is trying to accomplish, and where additional leadership or expertise could make a difference.
We’ve outgrown the way we’ve been doing this.
When events grow, the way they are led may need to grow with them.
We need experienced leadership, but not another permanent executive.
Get the level of event leadership the work requires, for as long as the organization needs it.
Our team needs additional capacity.
Add experienced capability without creating another layer for the team to manage.
Something isn’t working.
Understand what is getting in the way, what needs attention now, and what can wait.
We’re investing in events. Are they working for the business?
Make sure the event strategy is serving the business strategy—not operating alongside it.
How we help
The right engagement depends on the situation.
Three Thirty Nine Collective works across four primary forms of engagement. The appropriate approach depends on the organization’s objectives, operating conditions, and the level of responsibility the work requires.
Fractional Event Leadership
Experienced leadership with a defined mandate, appropriate authority, and accountability for the work—not another layer of recommendations for the team to implement.
Event Diagnostic
An independent assessment of what is happening, why it matters, and what should change. The Diagnostic gives leadership a clear view of strengths, material issues, required decisions, and a prioritized path forward.
Event Operations Stabilization
A focused intervention for an event or event operation that is materially at risk or no longer sufficiently under control. We establish priorities, clarify decisions, and provide hands-on leadership to restore control.
Event Strategy & Transformation
For organizations reconsidering how events fit within and advance the business strategy. We help define the future event portfolio, investment model, operating structure, governance, and measurement approach.
How we work
Understand the need before prescribing the engagement.
The process creates clarity without introducing unnecessary complexity.
Start with the situation
We learn what is happening, what the organization is trying to accomplish, and where additional leadership or expertise could make a difference.
Define the mandate
We establish the scope, intended outcomes, responsibilities, authority, and conditions required for the engagement to succeed.
Take appropriate ownership
When we accept responsibility, we work alongside the organization and its partners to carry the mandate—not simply observe it.
Leave the organization stronger
The work should create more capacity than it consumes and leave behind greater clarity, stronger operating practices, or a credible path forward.
Why Three Thirty Nine Collective
Leadership shaped by responsibility, not observation.
Three Thirty Nine Collective is new. The experience behind it is not.
Our perspective comes from working inside complex live-event environments—making decisions, coordinating teams and partners, navigating fixed timelines, solving operational problems, and remaining accountable for what happens when the doors open.
That experience is supported by structured methods for examining events as complete business and operating systems—not isolated productions.
Leadership
Founder-led, with experience inside complex live-event environments.
Three Thirty Nine Collective’s approach is informed by senior operating experience across event strategy, planning, production, operations, commercial considerations, and delivery.
That experience shapes a practical way of working: understand the whole event, define accountability clearly, and focus attention on the decisions that matter most.
