Sharon Bonner
As Bright Ideas Event’s president and CEO, Sharon is the driving force that has made Bright Ideas one of Canada’s top corporate event production companies. She’s also the smiling, positive, unflappable glue that holds everything together when it’s time to coordinate the hundreds of vital details that make up a successful special event. Sharon handles client liaison, event design, branding, and defining the metrics by which every event is measured for its return on investment. With decades of experience in the event industry, Sharon’s knowledge, industry contacts, and creativity are the key ingredients in Bright Ideas Events long and successful track record of outstanding corporate events. A prairie girl by birth (Grande Prairie, Alberta), Sharon relaxes between events through travel to tropical destinations, gardening and reading.
Aileen Fricke
As Bright Ideas Junior Event Planner Aileen is often the first point of contact for our prospective and existing clients. She handles event coordination duties, database updates, correspondence, and phone communications. Aileen came to Vancouver from her birthplace of Berlin, Germany and when she’s not working, travel and adventure is her favorite activity.
Leif Jason
Staying at the top of Google’s search results is a key element of online business success. Leif makes us easy to find with his SEO and online marketing expertise. Born on Saltspring Island, raised in Vancouver, and now living in the beautiful Comox Valley, Leif unwinds with snowboarding, hiking, and playing with his kids.
Chris Keam
Chris is Bright Ideas’ go-to guy for writing duties. He contributes content to the website, newsletter, and anytime we need just the right words to paint a picture in under a thousand words! Born in Australia, Chris moved to Canada with his family when he was four years old. He has made the West Coast his home ever since. When not busy tapping away at a keyboard, Chris can be found riding his bike, enjoying the arts, or spending time with his daughter.
Kevin Meronuk
Originally from Maple Ridge, Kevin has escaped the big city and now lives on the Sunshine Coast. He handles our website design, development, maintenance, and newsletter management. When he’s not doing that or working with his other clients, Kevin likes to be outside, spending time with his wife working in the garden and landscaping.
Dennis Turnbull
Dennis is the brains behind the computer network that keeps Bright Ideas running smoothly and efficiently managing our information technology and tech support needs. A quick witted guy with trunk load of jokes, this native of Barrie, Ontario enjoys golf and hockey in his spare time.
Andy Walton
With social media an increasingly important component of any company’s web presence, we’re glad to have Andy handling our social media strategy and Facebook design. Andy claims to be always working, but we suspect this British import (Newcastle) now living in Edmonton takes a little time once in a while to relax and recharge his creative batteries, because he always has some good ideas to offer!
