Work history
Account ManagerEvent Concept
London, United KingdomFull Time
Event Concept is a creative event production agency that offers a range of in-house services. Starting its life 25 years ago solely as a technical production company specialising in lighting, audio and visual, it has now grown to include a scenic design department, creative teams, project managers and an account management division that sits as a creative agency. Furthermore, we merged with the floristry business Veevers Carter, which sits as sister company under the same roof.
I take my clients from the initial enquiry, through the creative development, logistical planning and on-site delivery, while co-ordinating with internal and external stakeholders and making sure the whole project is within budget.
