It’s time to pull back the curtain, get behind the camera and understand the inception of the story with an all-access opportunity to a behind-the-scenes look at the CE Group Inc. The company specializes in experience marketing with a more than 30 year history in San Antonio, touching many of the city’s most recognized events with unrivaled expertise.
The CE Group Inc. has had a front row seat for numerous incredible happenings and experiences throughout the years. It has been back of house, behind the curtain and behind the scenes of the development, creation and launch of significance and success for its clients and the community. As ideators, planners, designers, creators and directors who go for impact and WOW, they make most of what’s planned seem invisible so that what’s noticed are the things that matter. They are the storytellers and producers that weave compelling experiences together to create standing ovation moments.
The CE Group defines experience marketing as using in-person and digital resources to promote products and services that create long-lasting impressions. This results in enduring relationships and opens the doors to future business opportunities. Over the years, the CE Group has consistently evolved how it measures its own success, and how it provides support to the San Antonio community and clients alike to make goals realities. We are about compelling experiences.
The company’s origins began from two main services: communication and events. These services work in tandem and are where the CE namesake originated. The resounding belief was that to have a successful event, there needed to be intentional marketing and communication leading up to, during and ongoing after. Through communication and events working together, the CE Group vision took shape.
Throughout the history of the company, there naturally has been growth and change. There have been numerous employees, interns, staffers and a truly impressive number of relationships built, fostered and maintained. Although evolution has occurred, the CE Group has remained true to its strong suit — that it is able to excel in the lane of “return on impressions” through delivering experiences in various ways.
Philanthropy and giving back to the San Antonio community have been pillars of strength for the CE Group. The company is deeply involved with the city and community in various ways and realizes the importance of giving back. Since the company was founded, the CE Group has worked with numerous nonprofits throughout the city, further strengthening its relationships and making them a significant asset.
It is evident that the CE Group is a team that thrives off a multitude of resources and relationships that span decades. As a company, it offers five core areas of service: events, destination management, communication, creative and venue consulting. Although each service can stand on its own, the company is able to produce its best results while working as an integrated team.
