“It’s been a pleasure to work with Nas and the Get the Affect team on the Manchester 2023 Allianz Para Swimming World Championships following our work together on the same event in London 2019. Get the Affect really live and breathe collaboration, whether that’s with the organising team or the wider event stakeholders and partners and you can rely on them to be part of the team in every sense. Nas is hardworking and flexible and I could completely trust that everything was in hand from a marketing and communications perspective whilst enjoying our regular catch ups and planning sessions. Get the Affect achieved fantastic results for the Championships, really taking it to the next level with a vibrant brand, successful ticketing strategy, engaging content creation and smooth on the day media operation. Thank you Nas and team!”
