Description
Creating sticky stories and authentic live experiences which enable people to engage with brands: that's how we see the role of events and brand activation.

From concept definition, identifying and booking speakers and moderators, creating relevant content and managing invitations to the day-to-day logistics and technical roll-out, catering and decoration. We handle all aspects so that each event becomes unforgettable.

We also create activation campaigns, allowing brands to meet their consumers ‘online’ and ‘in the field’ and let them feel, taste, share an experience that has an impact on them. We focus on building an emotional connection between brands and their audiences.
