Event production and experiential marketing agency across Quebec and beyond
Gestev produces live events and spectacles across Quebec and internationally, running a mid-market ops-heavy org (51–200 employees) actively hiring in operations and marketing. The tech stack is lightweight—WordPress, Mailchimp, Google Analytics, Meta—reflecting a business model centered on physical execution rather than software infrastructure. Current pain points (volunteer recruitment, volunteer database management, production-process scaling) and active projects (Festivent series, route-coordination, custom activations) suggest the company is hitting growth friction in operational complexity, particularly around volunteer lifecycle management.
