Our Work

Whether it’s a corporate awards show in Lisbon, an industry first conference in Adidas Ababa, a roundtable in Singapore, a product launch in London, or a company party in Switzerland, we have the tools and experience to create your perfect event. Our private events and weddings are designed to captivate the senses with intricate lighting, sound, music, art, food and locations. Please find a snapshot of some of our work below:

 

Sifted provides in-depth reporting on start up Europe, backed by the Financial Times. We wrote and implemented their events strategy and portfolio to rival industry giants Slush & Web Summit. This included intimate in-person Sifted Sessions events in Tallinn, Stockholm and Vienna, alongside the yearly Flagship Sifted Summit in London, gathering 2000 people in October 2022. Our services included strategy, portfolio management, sponsorship, team training, recruitment marketing, sales and operations liaison.

Since our inception, we’ve managed the production of the TXF Global portfolio, which includes the virtual TXF World Fair, the award-winning best-in-class virtual TXF Sustainability event, and the in-person flagship TXF Global: Export, Agency & Project finance conference. In Lisbon, June 2023, TXF Global welcomed over 1200 attendees, from over 57 countries and 390 companies. We had 135 speakers, both virtual and in-person, and another 300 attendees joining virtually for a truly hybrid extravaganza. Our end-to-end production services include content research, programme writing, keynote speaker recruitment, sponsor speaker management, panel preparations, event chairing, session recording and streaming.

 

British adventure travel company, YellowWood Adventures, specialises in tours in Ethiopia and wanted an authentic experience to tell their story, share Ethiopian culture and create deeper relationships with new and existing audiences. We curated a space that showcased the best of traditional and modern Ethiopian culture, partnering with the acclaimed band Krar Collective, the Ethiopian Embassy, Ethiopian Airlines, Brixton Market, record collectors and local Ethiopian restaurants. YellowWood were positioned at the centre of this as cultural enablers, with further visibility through travel talks, branding and the opportunity to meet and engage with potential clients. By marketing to a targeted demographic YellowWood was able to speak to their relevant audience, resulting in travel tours sold on the day, a profitable venture from ticket & bar revenues, and access to a library of branded content.

The Goodness Brewing Company are committed to being active in their North London community and sharing their passion for artisan beers and ales. As a new business, the focus was on attracting customers, filling their event space, and communicating their brand values. Given the multicultural community in Wood Green, we curated a music programme that celebrated international music and culture, billed as ‘The World Party’, filling the event space with an engaged 250-person audience. The event’s music and atmosphere demonstrated the brand’s wholesome and ethical nature, with live musicians & DJs playing African music from Senegal to Ghana, alongside blues, funk, and soul from the US Deep South. The marketing campaign allowed the Goodness Brewery to be associated with the music, creating multiple online touchpoints.

The Leaders on Purpose CEO Summit brings together the world’s top thought leaders, business visionaries, multilateral leaders, academics, and CEOs. Created by leaders for leaders, this exclusive event accelerates a new kind of leadership at the forefront of the new business logic, integrating purpose and profit. We helped source a venue in Washington during IMF week 2019, alongside providing commercial and production advisory services. In 2020 we helped source a reliable white label solution provider to host their virtual events.

“YellowWood has worked with Ark for several events – from a bespoke Ethiopian night in Brixton Market to promote our tours there; to a wellness event in Stoke Newington; to a cosy Christmas event in the Cotswolds – and every time Tom and the team deliver an outstanding service. Ark creates environments that are fun but also highly professional, always providing us with useful business leads.”

Tom did an amazing job to help make our wedding day so special. He put together a wonderful jazz band and managed the complex ceremony logistics seamlessly. He also brought the house down with his DJ set and kept people moving until the very end. We’re so grateful for his hard work, calm demeanour and proactive attitude.

Tom supported us early in our events journey at Sifted. Tom 'gets' B2B events, and approached production with enthusiasm and professionalism. I was confident to leave the content production in his hands.
