Following Benchmark's record-breaking results at London Build, Oliver Kinross expanded the partnership internationally — to New York Build at the Javits Center and Sydney Build at the ICC. Each event came with its own distinct commercial challenges.

New York required rapid rebook momentum at one of the first major post-pandemic US construction shows. Sydney demanded a more complex brief: training local freelance rebookers from scratch and implementing a rate normalisation strategy — moving all exhibitors onto the full published rate card to create a transparent, sustainable commercial foundation for future growth.

What we delivered

  • Full rebook strategy and management for New York Build, including sales lounge operations
  • Rebook of retention clients with new business conversations handled at the sales lounge
  • Recruited, trained and mentored a team of local Sydney freelance rebookers
  • Rate normalisation strategy implemented at Sydney Build — all exhibitors moved to full rate-card pricing
  • Live sales lounge and floor plan management across both events
  • $1M+ revenue booked in two days at New York Build; Sydney achieved 30%+ rebook at full advertised rates

“Off the back of a successful rebook for London Build, there was no doubt in our minds that we should collaborate with Benchmark Collective for New York Build and Sydney Build. Our decision to take a team of Benchies from the UK to support our own team really paid off. Benchmark not only helped to secure our record breaking rebooks, but also managed our sales lounge to ensure the team were motivated and mentored local agency rebookers out on the floor to get that all important team result!”
