Write the post-event report
your boss actually reads

The hardest debrief to write is for an event nobody defined. Before doors open, agree three targets with whoever signs off the budget: say, how many guests take part, how many opt in to hear from you, and one question you want answered.

MyWrap's debrief scores the event against the targets you set, so this is also the setup step. Five minutes in the planning meeting saves a week of arguing about whether it went well.

Keep them plain. "Find out whether people prefer the new flavour" is a target. "Drive brand affinity" is a mood.

Your boss will read the first three lines, glance at one photo and decide whether to keep going. So the first three lines need to say: did it work, what was the biggest win, and what do we change.

Write those last, once you have read everything else, but put them first. It feels backwards. It is the only order that survives a skim on a phone between meetings.

The debrief MyWrap writes is a two-minute read with the big wins at the top and what to try next time at the end. Your job is to check it, sharpen the top, and add anything only you know.

A debrief brings reach, contacts, content and answers together, and they are not all the same kind of number. Guest uploads and opt-ins are counted. Online reach is estimated, and should be labelled that way.

Mixing them is how a good report loses trust. One inflated reach figure and the reader starts doubting the real numbers next to it.

If someone hands you a figure MyWrap could not see, like footfall from the venue or sales from the till, add it with its source in brackets. It costs one line and saves an awkward question.

Close with what worked and what to change next time, three items at most. Make each one something a person can actually do: move the QR to the bar, cut the second speech, start the poll earlier.

Share it as a PDF to the team or the client. No slides to build, which means it can go out while people still remember the event, ideally within the week.

Once you have run a few, stack each new debrief against the last ones. The interesting story is rarely one event. It is whether the third pop-up did better than the first.
