About

Tricia and Elizabeth age one

Our Story

It all started at the age of one as next-door neighbors in the small-town suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Our company name was inspired by our days as a Girl Scout with Troop 784 where we learned the essence of friendship, merit and hard work.

 

Today we offer businesses a dynamic, creative and experienced sales team. We create ways to safely and directly meet branding needs, reaching a captive and targeted audience through creative and customized events and festivals.

Tricia Janison, co-founder of Troop 784 agency

Lover of the 80’s, from fanny packs, “HAIR” bands to Swatch Watches, Tricia Keeler Janison, started The Troop with her BFF (Elizabeth) when they discovered a huge need for a dedicated sales team to support and serve local events in Arizona and California. With a BA in Media Arts from the University of Arizona, she has always done what she LOVES, being creative. Her creativity and passion in marketing resulted in a successful career in media with over 20 years specializing in television and radio production, advertising sales, promotions and account management. Tricia’s career has taken her from Arizona to Oregon and back home to the Valley of the Sun where she enjoys daily consumption of jalapeños and never misses a desert sunset. An avid concert goer since the age of 15 with a zest for fun, it’s no wonder Tricia is obsessed with attending LIVE events, festivals and concerts, making her your guru in connecting brands directly to consumers through FUN and unique marketing experiences.

lindsey kohn

Southwest girl with Midwest roots, Lindsey Kohn has been working in the event industry since 2011. Receiving her undergrad from The Ohio State University in Marketing and her MA from Arizona State University, she has a passion for creating unique content and experiences for both clients and consumers. Timeline-driven and excel geek, her attention to detail is unparalleled as she believes no detail is too small or should be left unturned. Lindsey loves movies, even more the second time and is a music enthusiast, but don’t ask her to pick her favorite artist (Taylor Swift). Her motto is “dance like no one is watching,” and her snack of choice is hot sauce. She puts that sh*t on everything!
