Jessie Rubin
Jessie Rubin is the marketing and promotions manager for Metromix Los Angeles. Rubin is producing about 40 events this year for the new regional print and online publication, including its recent launch party at Crash Mansion and upcoming summer kickoff party at the W.
Computer Rentals: “As Metromix’s online entity is as crucial to our identity as our print piece, it’s important that we be able to show off our Web site on site at events. CRE Rentals is a one-stop resource for computer rentals. April Thompson is always amazing to work with. From laptops to elaborate kiosk setups, CRE’s technical service and customer support are flawless.”
Production: “Bright House Events’ Jessica Gehring helped produce Metromix’s recent launch event. From Day One, she was organized and efficient. I fully trusted her to manage relationships with my vendors and sponsors. Moreover, she’s got a fantastic eye for design. The event benefited from her creativity and skill for arranging lighting, decor, and colors.”Photo Booth: “The photo-booth craze has taken over L.A.—people love to get their pictures taken. There are some amazing photographers in the area, but I’ve found that some of the best photogs are our guests themselves. Usnaps allows the individual to take his or her own pic with an extended cord that reaches from the booth to the backdrop and then see it on the photo booth’s built-in screen. Guests pile in, have an amazing time, and get to engineer their own experience.”
Audiovisual Production: “Rhythm and Sound, Ricky Ramirez. I was introduced to Ricky for sound and lighting needs when I moved to L.A. Since then, he has never failed to provide amazing service and impeccable results. From simple gobo setups to complicated lighting installations, from DJ equipment to complete on-site sound production, I can let Ricky know what I need and I trust that he and his staff will get it done.”
Venue: “I’ve hosted events at the W Westwood prior to my current position and am about to host Metromix’s summer Kickoff event at the Backyard, the hotel’s poolside lounge area, recently redesigned by Thom Filicia. The hotel’s gorgeously designed spaces are enough to make me return to this venue for a production, but the efficiency and professionalism of the amazing PR and marketing team, led by Amanda MacNaughton and Stephanie Heer, is really the reason I’m so excited to work at this venue again.”
