We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Noreen Ismail. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Noreen below.
Noreen, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
After working in all aspects of nightlife over many years i.e waitress, bartender, go-go dancer, door host and eventually a promoter, I was offered to bring a good looking crowd to high end nightlife establishments in Miami. I knew that food always has and always will bring people together. I got the nickname Dinner Party Diva since I started only taking gigs that I had a budget for food to host my guests.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
I pioneered the niche market of upscale dining paired with high status nightlife, and have developed one of the most credible names in the Miami Beach hospitality industry today. I’m a hands-on event Planner/Promoter/Host, specializing in bringing people together and turning projects from concept into events that entertain and inspire.
How did you build your audience on social media?
I believe personal interactions with people are far superior than virtual or online. Since in my business I meet so many people every day/night it’s important to make a point to connect on social media after meeting someone .Social media allows people to organize their contacts and put them in an easily accessible platform. Also, having fun content is extremely important in my line of work . People want to be entertained and see what fun is going on in their city. So for me it’s important to showcase that and allow the people I have met to stay in the loop of what events I’m involved in.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
I have always displayed integrity and honesty in all of my dealings. Especially when dealing in Miami’s nightlife industry things can get a little “shady”. I have always shown up and given my best with any project that I have been involved in. I have also always paid contractors that have worked with me even if there was an instance with loss on my end.
