Seventh Wave, for Sundew Swim
A night-swim launch in a dockside lido, with the pool floor projection-mapped from above. Six hundred guests, and the first drop sold out in 41 minutes.
Signal Hall, for Tandem Grid
A 900-person user conference streamed live to 14,200 more. One stage, a 22 metre LED wall and a run of show cut to the second.
Night Lap, for Stridewell
A 10k night run along the waterfront under moving light. 2,400 runners, and 38% of them new to the brand's app.
Listening Rooms, for Northpaw Records
An album played start to finish inside an LED volume, twelve nights, forty people at a time. 3,100 tickets sold through the app.
The room is the medium
Most launches are designed as content first and rooms second. We think that has it the wrong way round, and the numbers from our last forty shows agree.
A livestream carries what the room felt. If two hundred people lean forward at the same moment, the stream shows it and the clip travels. If they are standing at a bar waiting for a speech, no edit will save it.
So we start with the floor: where people stand, how long they stay, what they see first. The stream, the social cuts and the press pack are built from that, not the other way round.
Signal Hall, step by step
Tandem Grid's first user conference: 900 in the room, 14,200 online, one day. The clearest example of how a show leaves our studio.
The floor before the stage
We mapped dwell time from Tandem's last three meetups and found people left the keynote to queue for coffee. The bar moved inside the auditorium, and keynote retention went to 94%.
A 3D walkthrough, signed off in one call
The whole hall built as a real-time model. Tandem's team walked it on a laptop, moved the press riser, and approved the layout in forty minutes.
One wall, three uses
A 22 metre LED wall carried the keynote, the product demos and the evening set. One rig, one load-in, and a fifth of the AV budget we were first quoted.
The report, ten days later
Attendance by session, stream drop-off by minute, and 1.8 kg of carbon per guest against a target of 2.5. Tandem has booked us for the next two.
The hour before the room fills is ours.
How a show is made
The same five stages for a forty-person dinner or a nine-hundred-person conference. Only the length of each changes.
The minute
Before any venue or budget, we agree the one moment guests should leave talking about. Everything after is tested against it.
Floor and flow
Floorplan, capacity, dwell time and sightlines, drawn in a real-time 3D model you can walk through on a call.
Production planning
A live production schedule shared with you and every supplier. RAMS, rider, crew calls and contingency in one place.
Load-in to derig
Our producers stay on site from crew call to the last truck. Nobody you met in the pitch disappears on show day.
The report
Ten working days after the show: attendance, dwell time, stream data, consented guest data and carbon per guest.
