Examples of work in which we have started with a blank page and created world-class events include The Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebration (2016), for which the company won a BAFTA, and The Diamond Jubilee Pageant (2012) both of which were broadcast world-wide to audiences of millions. We advised on creative content for The Commemoration of the Centenary of the First World War in Belgium (2014), a project we managed on behalf of The Department of Culture, Media and Sport, and The Windsor Castle Royal Tattoos (2008 – 2011), our own events which were televised by the BBC and ITV.

We have strong experience in working with broadcast media. Many of the events we deliver are created with broadcasters for international television audiences. Examples include:
