Why we set up The Producers

Born from a world of PR and social shareability we feel the event and experiential agency model is ripe for a different approach and a more efficient ROI.

So we set up The Producers.  Content focussed, brand experiences that are as impactful for those attending as they are for those watching from the sidelines of social.

We also know that clients have their own good ideas and are looking for experienced "producers" to deliver their idea efficiently without the need for big teams of account handlers, so we become a seamless extension of a Client's in-house team. 

Why use us?

Working with our sister PR agency PrettyGreen we fundamentally understand how to create content that is shareable.  We have simply applied this lens of delivery and output to experiential.

We have all worked in agencies, been freelancers or come from client side, so we know all the ins and outs of the client agency relationship and can help you cut through weighty agency processes and minimise those sometimes chunky agency fees.

Specialist vs Generalist?

Think of an event and we’ve probably built it, dressed it, show-called and directed it.

Whether that’s an immersive VR experience, an award show, a press launch, a photo-shoot, a party in a field, a festival for 50 thousand people, a product launch, an intimate dinner, a trade show or multi-room conference…

We’re pretty sure we’ve done it.

We have a collective of Experiential and Content producers and event planners permanently on hand to help work through your requirements, bringing in the right experts as and when.

If LIVE event technology is your bag we have a network of project managers, digital VR specialists, live stream engineers, directors and video editors on hand who can slot into or bolster your team.

How do we charge?

Efficiency and value is what we've based our business on, alongside ensuring we deliver.

We can offer full production team support to work alongside your in-house teams or we can parachute in (or more likely use the front door) and sit within your in-house event and marketing team, helping to bolster existing skills with our expert “producer” power.

We can charge by the day, by the project, or by the hour; we work with you to find the right solution to fit your budget and scope, and we can invoice you weekly or monthly depending on the scope.

And we’re so confident in our ability, we offer a money back guarantee* (*always read the small print - your home and your dog is at risk)

So how do we get started?

It’s just a case of picking up the phone, bashing out a quick email or jumping on a FaceTime call.

Let us know who you are and what you need.

Ideally we like to do this face to face so we can really get under the skin of your brief, ask you all those annoying difficult questions and then allocate the right producer or production team for the project.

Then it’s all systems GO!
