Corporate event series culminates in a star-powered private concert

Flawless event production lead to an anniversary celebration that immersed attendees in the brand’s vision

Adobe 40th anniversary event

Tech giant Adobe wanted a 40th-anniversary celebration to reflect its culture of innovation and creativity. Confident in our strategic approach and live production capabilities, the global industry leader expanded its vision. Holding 49 in-person events ignited excitement among its worldwide workforce, with a culminating performance customized to the brand.

Global event production expertise expands reach

A creative brainstorm on tactics for displaying global diversity and inclusion blossomed into a large-scale creative partnership. Business success depends on engaging employees well beyond Adobe’s Silicon Valley headquarters. Event strategy evolved from producing one live-streamed extravaganza into multiple events launched across continents, all in under four months.
