When it comes to blue-chip national and international brands, not only must 360 Degrees often sign NDAs (that preclude us from telling you exactly who they are, even here), but we must also create awards and gala events that break new ground; that impress and delight our clients’ clients and stakeholders, who have attended the greatest events in the world.

For guests numbering 100 to 2000, we have produced live events designed for memorability.

One client in particular expects everything to be handled seamlessly, as they should, from logistics to creative deliveries; guest management to speaker and artist management; stage, technical and banqueting to bespoke gifting and swag.

We once flew a satellite stage into the centre of a room. On it was a grand piano with the virtuoso pianist playing. This required 3 kilometres of rigging, multiple motors and a 70-metre-long screen.

At the same event, guests were seated at glass-topped tables that changed colour with each new scene. But, only a week before the event, 50% of the tops were smashed in transit and we had to replace them. It happens. From this we learned that our supply partners are the key to creating a new plan when disaster strikes.
