To help you hang on to these last few weeks of summer, we put together a few easy – and completely free – ways to take advantage of the warm weather around the city.

Boston, MA – July 30, 2019 Since July 11th, MacEgan Starrett has taken over the role of Graphic Design and Social Media Manager for Corinthian Events, the leading expert in the Boston total event planning, meetings management, and destination management market since 2000.
The role MacEgan has stepped into is a two-headed one: Providing graphic design services to clients of Corinthian Events as well as actively participating in the marketing of the company through the managing of all social media platforms and the company website.
MacEgan comes to Corinthian Events with over ten years of graphic design experience on a professional level, including stops as a creative director, marketing manager, and in contracted design roles. In 2012, he founded Umbrella Task Company, a household and lifestyle management company that focuses on making the lives of their clients easier by taking over to-do lists and troubleshooting tasks ranging from the day-to-day operations of a household to overseeing long-term home renovations.
"For the last seven years, I have worn several different hats and had my hands in several different pots," said MacEgan. "Now, I look forward to settling into a more streamlined, focused role, and I could not be more excited to do so with the incredible team here at Corinthian Events."
