Chronicling the adventures of an elite experiential marketing team. From the nine years on the road to new adventures in Portland, OR. We are the Roving Van Gelders and we can’t wait to see you down the road.
This week we are back on home turf, so of. We will be doing shows around Detroit and spending some time in the office. Lucky for me we are close enough to Illinois that I am going to go home for Easter. Not home but meet my folks. Song of the week: St... Continue Reading →
Boy oh boy did we enjoy Virginia, we really always do. It was sad to leave but Philadelphia awaits us. We rarely make it to this area, mostly stick to Allentown. After this we are making out way to Detroit for two weeks worth of shows in the North Suburbs. Song of the... Continue Reading →
