Black Zebra is the event management agency aiming to give solutions to complex events with important stories to tell. These are the projects where stakes are high, preparations are extensive and challenging. Due to their complexity, these prestigious events are coordinated with a special action plan, prepared to the extremes in detail and are managed with a pro staff that has gained experience under great pressure. Black Zebra, led by Gergely Papp and his network of partners, helps organizations, companies and individuals who want to take it to the next level.
Services
Complex • High-end • Prestige
Black Zebra offers support in three distinct forms, differing in depth, physical form, duration and level of availability.
CONSULTING
COOPERATION
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Consulting
Immediate assistance in the form of consultation, focusing on a specific topic. If the project frame itself has already been established, and there is also a team (which often means professional events staff), but there are a few shaky areas where a further professional opinion, a filter or simply a quick support is needed with to-the-point, decisive steps. Consultations are being held at pre-arranged times (in person or online).
Cooperation
Working together with the Client from the beginning of a project, we develop the concept and establish ultimate goals together. We build a project-team, set directions, agree on milestones and follow up on them. We establish points of responsibility and deadlines together. This form of cooperation is a hybrid state of general consulting and project management. This setup works best when the core organizing team already exists for the given project, but it has become necessary to further increase the level of productivity and professionalism;
Project Management
Black Zebra is assigned for the entire event – full scale. This includes planning, on-site coordination, and post-event duties according to the Client’s needs. Black Zebra represents the Client through all initial and subcontractor connections, keeping a close eye on the defined financial and time constraints, as well as the organization’s individual culture and the specific goals to be achieved. Full scale planning, POC, marketing & communications, on-site management and follow-up.
Gergely Papp has been involved in event management in Hungary and internationally since 2007. Through these years he has played a key-role in the entertainment of thousands, development of organizations, financial growth of companies, and their achievement of newsworthy milestones. During the 2012 Olympics in London, Gergely and his team coordinated the base for President Jacques Rogge and his staff at the IOC headquarters at the Hilton Park Lane conference venue. In 2017 he was responsible for the NATO Transformation Seminar in Budapest with the participation of Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Gergely is also involved in festivals, most recently as the main organizer of the MCC Feszt success story, which is an event with 50,000 visitors annualy. With Black Zebra, he aims to provide professional support primarily in those newsworthy events where the stakes are high, planning & preparations are complex with much adrenalin and excitement.
Just like in interior design, fashion, art, or even in the preparation of a meal, there is a floating effect when every detail comes together quietly and consciously, the picture is 360 degree complete and the result is authentic – it is the same with events. The outcome harmonizes with the moment and the environment, there is no unnecessary and artificial mannersim, on the contrary, there are some edgy and offbeat details which are so quiet and professional that you only realize later that they were there – and were there on purpose. If we have to name what Black Zebra’s mission is, it is to create such moments.
