Who we are

Most of what we do happens live, with a lot of people watching.

A minister has to be on stage at an exact minute. A delegation lands on a schedule nobody can move. A donor reads every line of the budget months later.

We bring in the people each job needs, and one of us stays with it from the first sketch to the last invoice.

Events · Media · Marketing

Three crafts. One team that answers for all of them.

Clients come for one. Most of them end up asking us for the other two.

Events

The room, built and run

Conferences, launches, demo days and gala nights. Drawn in 3D, then built, rigged and run by crews we know by name. Stage, LED, sound and light.

Marketing

The message, and who hears it

Who to invite, what to tell them, and the campaign around it. Identity, print, digital and PR from the same people who built the day.

Technical production · Fabrication

The stage, and everything built around it.

Two things clients ask us for again and again: the technical side of the day, and the pieces built for it.

Technical production

Sound, light and LED screens

LED stages in a hotel ballroom, under a museum’s glass roof or on an open seafront. Sound the back row can hear, and light that works for the guests and for the camera.

Fabrication

Stages, sets and booths

Entrance gates, backdrops, exhibition booths and one-off pieces like a golden statue in a garden. Each one is drawn in 3D first, then built to match the drawing.

Why Panda

It shows at 6pm, on the day.

Things move fast on a live day. The carpenter, the sound lead and the project manager on your job are already talking to each other, so a change at 5pm is sorted by 5:15.

And you speak to the same person from start to finish.

  1. Listen

    What the day is for, who’s in the room, and what the budget really is.

  2. Make it clear

    A concept, a scope and a production plan, with a quantity next to every line.

  3. Get it ready

    Workshop, crew, trucks, permits, power. Most of it you never see.

  4. See it through

    Someone from Panda is on site from the first truck in to the last one out.

First step

We’re at our best when the day really matters.

Send the date, the venue and who’s coming. You’ll get an itemised budget with every assumption written next to it.

Who we’re a good fit for

  • Embassies, ministries and public bodies
  • Development programmes and donor-funded projects
  • Companies with a lot of stakeholders to keep happy
  • Clients who want the same team next year
