“It genuinely was organic growth. Before I knew it, I was running an agency.”

Ella Woodhouse, from Ellevate Entertainment, shares her journey of building a thriving agency over the past 15 years. Starting with her vocal swing trio, The Polka Dots, Ella's agency now boasts over a hundred acts, ranging from bands to magicians and event suppliers.
What sets Ellevate apart is Ella's personalised approach, where she curates recommendations based on clients' event themes and budgets. Her savvy use of technology, like Giggio, streamlines her operations, saving time and keeping everything organised.

A Humble Beginning

Fifteen years ago, Ella Woodhouse embarked on her musical journey with The Polka Dots, a vocal swing trio. Little did she know that this venture would lay the foundation for something much grander. As Ella reminisces, 'It genuinely was organic growth. Before I knew it, I was running an agency.'

Building Relationships

At the core of Ellevate Entertainment's success lies Ella's unwavering commitment to building strong relationships. 'It's all about relationships and communication,' she emphasises. With over a hundred acts under her belt, Ella has cultivated a network of artists that clients trust.

The Power of Personalisation

Unlike traditional agencies, Ella's approach focuses on personalisation. 'When clients come to me, they tell me what the event is, what the theme is, what the budget is,' she explains. By understanding her clients' needs, Ella curates bespoke experiences tailored to each event.

From Excel Spreadsheets to Seamless Efficiency

Before integrating Giggio into Ellevate Entertainment's workflow, Ella recalls the daunting task of managing operations solely through Excel spreadsheets. 'Excel spreadsheets. Oh, God, all the Excel spreadsheets,' she says with a hint of exasperation. The cumbersome process involved juggling numerous sheets and worksheets, leading to confusion and the constant risk of overlooking critical details.
However, with the introduction of Giggio, a paradigm shift occurred. Suddenly, the agency's operations became streamlined and effortlessly efficient. 'With Giggio, you can see everything at a glance,' Ella explains. The platform's intuitive interface offers a comprehensive overview of upcoming events, pending enquiries, and outstanding tasks.
When I was looking for a CRM system, I looked all around and the thing I really liked about Giggio was its simplicity. And I still love its simplicity.
No longer burdened by the complexities of manual data management, Ella revels in the simplicity facilitated by Giggio - a tool that has truly revolutionised Ellevate Entertainment's administrative processes.
