Melinda Cooke Vandaveer

Hello, I’m Melinda. I’m a corporate events planner living in Maryland. I am a fan of politics, the arts, and entrepreneurship.

I started my company MAGENTA,LLC with the one goal of helping brands that do "good works" create events that stand out and get noticed.

In a crowded global marketplace, it can be difficult for organizations to get noticed

That is where I come in.

I specialize in helping organizations translate their brand into live event experiences that raise awareness, engage customers or inform the media.

With 20 years of experience of creating events such as news related programming, managing an internationally televised speakers series and planning major fundraisers, I love when all the elements of event logistics, creative marketing come together to create memorable experience for an organization and their audience.

Whether you are a large corporation looking for creative ways to launch a product or initiative, a small association needing complete logistic and travel support for your upcoming conference, or a charity needing full planning services for your annual gala, I can help you create a stand out events that will get the organizational goals.
