Event Management Veterans Launch CRUX Events, LLC
9/18/2008 - Whether it involves well-known brands such as Crocs, Fender, Merrill Lynch and Tommy Hilfiger, dynamic events such as 48Straight, Battle of the Gridiron Stars and the Winter X Games, or broadcast coverage on CBS Sports, NBC Sports or ESPN, there’s a good chance that the team assembled by newly formed event management company, CRUX Events, LLC, has been involved.
CRUX Events, led by 20-year event management veteran, James Woodruff, recently launched its operations with 10 employees working from four national offices in Ketchum, Idaho; San Francisco; Truckee, California; and Washington, DC. The company’s core offerings include event production, live television operations, hospitality, music production, event marketing and promotions.
Joining Woodruff at CRUX Events is a dynamic group of event management specialists who have amassed over a century’s worth of experience on the national and international stages through their work with award winning entities such as The Ski Tour, Eclipse Television & Sports Marketing and Global Event Management, among others.
The full range of services to be offered by CRUX Events include:
-Television Production/Syndication
-Event Operations & Logistics
-Hospitality & Entertainment
-Sports Timing & Results
-Competition Management
-Warehousing/Distribution/Logistics
-Prop Production & Brand Building
-Artist & Athlete Procurement
-Event Staffing
-Mobile Tours
-Hand-to-Hand Marketing
-Live Show Production
-Staging/Lighting/Sound Production
-Cad Site Design/Traffic Planning
-Special Event Permitting
CRUX Events has the distinct advantage of a staff that has literally been there and done that in terms of full-scale event management at a regional, national and global scale,’ said Woodruff, formerly the CEO of Global Event Management. ‘Whether working with well-established, growing or early stage companies, we approach all of our endeavors with common sense, hard work and creative thinking.’
CRUX Event’s client list includes 48Straight, American Eagle, Bob Woodruff Family Foundation, Icer Air, Jeep, John Paul Mitchell Systems, JUMA Entertainment, Red Bull, San Francisco 49ers and the Tour de Nez, among other leading consumer and retail brands representing the automotive, fashion, food and beverage, non-profit and sports sectors.
Some of CRUX Event’s most familiar brand partners are, not surprisingly, among the most recognized entities in the world of sports marketing. The team worked with ESPN to introduce new sports categories such as Skier Cross, Ski Slopestyle and Ski Superpipe to the Winter X Games, resulting in a dramatic increase in viewership and paving the way for the X Games growth to more than 230 athletes with broadcast range of over 190 countries worldwide. This same group helped launch Red Bull in the U.S. through progressive programs such as Flugtag, Crashed Ice and Rampage, which have now become synonymous with the brand’s unique personality and helped catapult it to its place atop the energy drink industry.
CRUX Event’s newest assignment is the creation of Jeep 48Straight, the largest sports, music and entertainment event in the country. The event combines summer mountain bike racing and winter skier and boarder cross and halfpipe events with dozens of live concerts, arts and cultural programs and a wealth of environmentally focused activities designed to empower people to celebrate and connect with the outdoor lifestyle.

Truckee's CRUX Events & Party Rentals expands services and equipment
TRUCKEE — Turning simple gatherings of friends and family into an unforgettable Tahoe celebration, CRUX Events and Party Rents has further distinguished itself with more services and equipment.
Some new additions include a state-of-the art sound system and a lightweight modular stage fit for a concert of any size, a cutting-edge photo booth and new lounge furniture. Event management veteran and owner of CRUX Events, James Woodruff, has also added local sound expert Damon Gold to the team as the driving force behind their new JBL Line Array sound system.
Used in this year's Truckee Rotary Cadillac Ball, the new portable photo booth was added to the mix of offerings as a bonus of entertainment to any event.
“I want to provide my clients with some creative ways to make their events memorable,” says Woodruff. “We can offer amazing equipment that has not been available in our area, all while lowering our carbon footprint and hiring local talent.”
Woodruff's company offers an assortment of event rentals including unique décor, furniture and elegant tents. In addition to the rental equipment, CRUX offers clients individual service through concept and idea to complete event production, execution and management. The company's impressive client rooster boasts internationally-recognized brands such as Red Bull, Harman Kardon, Fender, Lexus, Jeep, Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse, and Monster Energy Drink.
