Who said running events was easy?

It's not! It's really hard work. And for most clients that's the last thing they need - it's hard enough just doing the day job!

That's why, when we manage events for our clients, we take full responsibility for everything that's involved. We sit central to the whole process, co-ordinating everything and everyone, taking care of all the details - big and small.

This means our clients can get on with their work, secure in the knowledge that their event is being put together on brief, on budget and on time. The only people they need to speak to is us - they don't have a dozen different agencies calling to ask where the wine should be delivered or what time the band should arrive, we sort all this out.

Getting everything right is our own responsibility. If anything goes wrong it's our fault - even if it's someone else's fault.

But it doesn't go wrong - we make sure of that!

As an illustration, we thought you might find it interesting to click on the video link above. This is a short film of an event we managed for our client, Siemens mobile, which took place recently. The event was the Siemens mobile Lake Jump, held at Fort William the day before the UK leg of the Mountain Biking World Cup, to support Siemens mobile's involvement with the Cannondale mountain biking team.

The Lake Jump itself involved world class competitors hurtling down a ramp moored in the middle of Loch Linnhe, performing acrobatics in mid-air and landing (if that's the right word) in the loch. The competitors told us they loved it - we were more than happy just to watch!

The event drew a crowd of over 5,000 to the banks of the loch, and generated high levels of national and international TV and press coverage. Images are also being used in a Siemens mobile viral email campaign.

Setting up the ramp was the easy bit. Even for an event of this nature there are so many things to get right and so many people to involve, it would have been easy for something to go wrong somewhere. But it didn't. We took responsibility for everything - from positioning the TV cameras to sorting out the catering - even finding and hiring the bagpiper who had played at Madonna's wedding!

It all went off without a hitch and like a duck paddling in water no one saw how hard we had to work to get there.

And was the client happy? Well, you can see for yourself....


  Just wanted to write a quick note to thank you for the enormous amount of work and effort that went into making the Lake Jump such a fantastic event. The smooth running of the project, which involved so many different partners is a credit to your organisational skills, attention to detail and ability to manage multi-agencies and multi-cultures.

To quote Markus Jaisle: 'It's the best Lake Jump so far'. I can assure you this is a real compliment. I don't think any of us could have anticipated the huge number of spectators, which was just incredible considering the time frames we worked to. Just imagine what we could have done if there was more time - Fort William wouldn't have been able to cope!

Many thanks once again, I couldn't have done it with out you.
