Capabilities

What We Do.

From the first conversation to the last person leaving — we produce events that are worth being at.

The Proposition

We produce experiences people want to be part of.

That's the objective. Everything else — the format, the venue, the music programme, the production — is in service of that answer. We have been doing this since 2008. The standard hasn't changed.

From concept to live delivery

01

Concept & Strategy

Every event starts with a question: what would make this worth being at? We develop the concept from that question — the format, the positioning, the audience, the commercial model. We work with clients to define what success looks like before any production begins.

Programming

Music programming is the foundation of everything we produce. We have spent fifteen years building artist relationships, understanding what works in different formats and developing a curatorial sensibility that is specific to EEM. We programme for the event, not the other way around.

Production

We manage the full production process — from site selection and venue negotiation through to technical production, logistics, staffing and on-the-night delivery. We have produced events on boats, islands, beaches, in clubs, in cultural institutions and on New Year's Eve on Sydney Harbour. The format changes. The production standard doesn't.

Partnerships

We have built partnerships with cultural institutions, brands, venues and artists over fifteen years. We know how to structure a partnership that works for both sides — and we know when a partnership will make an event better rather than just bigger.

05

Promotion

We promote our own events and work with clients on theirs. Fifteen years of producing events in Sydney has given us a clear understanding of what drives ticket sales, how to build an audience for a new event and how to maintain one for an established programme.

Live Delivery

The event is the product. Everything we do in the months before is in service of what happens on the night. We manage the live delivery of every event we produce — from bump-in through to bump-out — with the same attention to detail as the planning that preceded it.
