Case Study: Zelus streamlines retreat planning and lowers event costs with Nowadays

Zelus Sports Analytics Company Takes on Philly

Zelus Analytics, a fast-growing sports analytics company with a remote team, faced a significant challenge in planning its annual retreat. The process was extremely time-consuming for its operations staff, who had to spend hours sifting through hotel RFPs and managing complex logistics. To solve this, Zelus partnered with the event planning service Nowadays to streamline the entire sourcing and booking process.

Nowadays managed the end-to-end planning for Zelus. They used data to select Philadelphia as the optimal city and negotiated a favorable rate at Loews Philadelphia, which included waived meeting space fees. They also arranged team activities, private dining, and airport shuttles. The results were a highly successful retreat that strengthened team bonds and saved the Zelus operations team a considerable amount of time, allowing them to focus on other projects. Zelus's COO also noted that the quality of service from Nowadays matched that of previous planners at a fraction of the cost.
