events
Grant isn’t a hands-off creative director. In fact, he doesn’t just create events, he creates memorable moments. He has a working relationship with every top vendor in Minneapolis, along with many global contacts, ensuring every event he produces has access to the best resources. From coordinating 130 Target team members for a fashion show and launch event to transforming a 13,000-square-foot furniture store overnight into a VIP fashion experience and lounge for the Super Bowl, Grant knows how to bring his unique creative spirit without losing sight of the logistics.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“ I worked with Grant Whittaker throughout my 10 years leading Internal Events at Target. We first worked together on Target’s first-ever National Meeting Fashion Show. He choreographed a fast-paced, high energy, athletic fashion show to launch the C9 Activewear line by Champion. He concepted and orchestrated dozens of models back flipping, doing jumping jacks and cartwheeling down the aisles and across the stage in just a few minutes to introduce the new line to thousands of HQ + Store Leaders in attendance. That fashion show was the first of many he executed for Target’s annual National Sales Meetings, each growing in number of models, venue, scope, and creative degree of difficulty.
Grant played an integral role in dozens of Corporate Fast, Fun and Friendly events from booking models and styling to production, logistics and even emceeing. He has a unique talent to lead creative as well as manage every detail flawlessly and professionally.
I’ve attended a number of other large scale events and fashion shows that he has concepted, led and produced and I am continually amazed at his fresh take on creative, mesmerizing production elements and all the fine details that make each one more stunning and memorable than the last. Grant is one of the most talented creatives I’ve worked with locally and nationally and one of the best in the business.”
