As a detail-oriented and results-driven leader, Loren Maisels has not only focussed her over 15-year career on events marketing and demand generation… she’s owned it! With experience in both agency and corporate environments, Loren has planned numerous ROI-driven events for companies including Vision|Co, Accenture, Achievers and Great Place to Work.

A Toronto native, Loren found herself in San Francisco, California in 2011, spearheading SaaS company Achievers’ events expansion strategy. Among other key tactics, results-driven events paid off and the company was ultimately acquired by Blackhawk Networks in 2015. Since then, Loren has returned home to Toronto to apply her entrepreneurial spirit.

Hello LOMA Marketing Agency!

Clients, managers, team members and peers all recognize Loren as a strong leader and collaborator who continuously strives to exceed expectations. She’s credited as a professional that gets results, delivers high-quality work with a knack for staying calm under pressure.

Loren graduated from Ryerson University in 2004 with a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Marketing and minoring in International Relations. Loren achieved her CMP (Certified Meeting Planner) designation in July 2011 and continues to stay active and current on all global issues and trends within the marketing and event communities.

Yana’s first event – single-handedly planning her high school prom – hammered home two inalienable truths for her. One: a successfully planned event is akin to bringing a dream to life. And two: she was going to keep doing this until someone forced her to stop. After over a decade of meticulously and creatively crafting events from intimate parties to lavish galas, there is nothing that Yana can’t pull together.

A Ryerson University alumna (B.Comm) and Certified Meeting Professional (CMP), Yana has multi-industry experience including technology, supply chain, retail marketing, not-for-profit and high performance sport. In her most recent gig as Manager, Events for the Canadian Olympic Committee, Yana was instrumental in planning some of the most exciting and memorable marketing events in the history of Canadian Olympic sport.

As VP, Client Experience for LOMA Marketing Agency, Yana will use her passion, attention to detail and ability to turn problems into opportunities to ensure your event exceeds expectations in every way.

After almost a decade of executing a wide range of events and programs across North America, Europe, Asia and parts of the Caribbean for top tier global brands, Kurt has discovered the only thing he can’t do is digest dairy.

Beginning as an event planner for a boutique, marketing-events agency in Toronto, and rounding out his experience client-side, managing programs in corporate and start-up spaces, Kurt has delivered projects in the tech, finance, telecommunications and government sector for clients such as Scotiabank, BlackBerry, TELUS, Rogers, Facebook, Instagram and Kijiji.

When he’s not poring over all the fine details of his clients’ programs, you might find Kurt enjoying live music at a local dive bar or curled up on the couch with his favourite book and Dinosaur – his cat.

Amy has always loved planning, especially when it comes to traveling. At age 16, she moved abroad for the first time, living in Switzerland as part of an exchange program that sparked a passion for culture and exploring. Here at LOMA, Amy combines her love of travel and adventure with her passion for community engagement as the team’s Event Manager.

After graduating from Western University (B.A.) and completing Conestoga College’s Graduate Certificate in Event Management, Amy is happy to now call Toronto home. She spent her time before LOMA working as a Brand Ambassador for a Toronto brewing company, where she helped execute a variety of marketing events including activations at Golf Canada events, the 2019 Ride to Conquer Cancer, and a number of food and beverage festivals.

Bringing a decade of event operations experience to the team, Kristina has spent the bulk of her career managing large multi-day programs across North America and internationally, both in person and virtually, with a focus in the media and entertainment industries.

Whether it’s delivering thought provoking content or unique and memorable moments, Kristina’s true passion is the attendee experience. She approaches her work with a collaborative and client focused nature, and has the ability to consistently deliver high quality results with confidence and a great sense of humour. Relatively unflappable, she faces challenges head on and will let nothing stand in the way of a successful event – including the time she was held captive for an hour by an angry elk.

Kristina loves experiencing new cultures and food through travel, adventuring with her husband and son around Toronto, getting lost in a good book, and partaking in (or starting) an impromptu dance party.

Ciao a tutti!

No barking around, our CCO is a key member of our team here at LOMA Marketing Agency. He takes his job very seriously – making sure the FedEx guy knows who’s boss, and keeping everyone active by reminding them when it’s time for his morning walk. Other duties include: napping, asking for treats, and following his boss around in case she’s on her way to do something really cool (or not – he’ll follow her anyway). Biggie likes to be at the table, literally, for meetings, although he usually needs to be on someone’s lap to see his laptop.
