With the experience and attractions markets converging, there’s a huge level of expectation and appetite for live experiences, and that’s where I come in as our new Live Experience Lead!
An expert in live entertainment and experiences, I’ve been thrilling audiences and clients for more than 15 years with a brimming portfolio of resort brands, attractions and leisure organisations such as TUI, Disney, Majid Al Futtaim, Bourne Leisure, Paultons Park, Karisma Resorts, Planet Hollywood Resorts, Sri Lankan Airlines, Atlantica Resorts and Parkdean Resorts.
I’ve built my career from my grassroots as a performer, progressing to owning a successful production company and worked extensively as a leader and creator of family-focused live entertainment. In that time I have created children’s entertainment brands, developing IP characters and numerous touring stage shows.
The rise of live
The demand for more quality and quantity of live experiences continues to increase. While existing themed attractions are using live experiences to drive new audiences, additional spend and repeat visitations, guests themselves are craving live interaction…
78% of millennials choose to spend money on an experience or event rather than a product, and 55% of millennials say they are spending more on events than ever before, with no signs of slowing. EventBrite
Consumer demand for more live experiences post-Covid will see more interactive community art attractions and museum social events become a mainstay in the industry. Blooloop
