About.
We are a husband and wife team who met working in the event industry and who collectively have over 40 years experience on live events. Individually, we have worked on major projects throughout the Middle East and many other parts of the world.
We both have freelanced with agencies who are top in their field and we have helped them produce outstanding live events. We don't believe in drama. We believe if you have the right people on your team, every job will be delivered with fun, enthusiasm and a lot of passion. Daryl is a Technical Director who is passionate about structures and brings a grown up attitude to projects. He is honest and often referred to as the sweary one! He zealously engages in projects and pulls no punches when it comes to practicalities of a project and finding the best workable solutions. Kim is a Project Director, with a wide range of capabilities. Kim is generally the champion for the underdog, finding people's best attributes and bringing them out into the sunshine. She thrives on making up teams of like-minded individuals to produce a working environment where people are heard and can bring out the best of themselves and in turn the project. |
Established in 2020
2020 being the pandemic year, we were for the first time in a very long time able to sit down and think back on our careers. We have produced some extraordinary events, worked with the best talent and we decided it was time for us to get all the experience together and offer the industry Creatively Intelligent answers to projects.

Our Goal
We believe in people and helping talents shine. We want to be involved in creatively challenging projects that push boundaries and we want to take our like-minded freelancers and suppliers along with us in this journey.
We want our clients to feel confident to achieve what they thought was impossible. |

Kim Akester
With over 20 years experience in Live Events, Brand activations and Hospitality Overlay, Kim has a vast range of knowledge on all aspects of the event industry. Her strong interpersonal, organizational and communication skills allows me to lead in a Project Management position, although she has played many roles in the event industry. Building teams for creative projects is a passion. Kim feels that everyone, no matter how small or insignificant they think their contribution is, it is an important cog in the project wheel. She is also creative and can see what people who are vastly more creative than her need in order for their vision to be brought to life.
