In the time I worked here, I delivered several key projects including:- Saudia 75. An event to celebrate 75 years of Shell operations in Saudi Arabia. To commemorate, Shell created a photographic book which documented the Kingdoms history with 400 black and white photographs. The event showcased these images in a gallery which culminated with a gala dinner for 150 VVIP's including the CEO of Shell Ben Van Beurden and His Royal Highness Prince Sultan bin Salman. The client offered an extremely positive response to the event from the regional office in Qatar to the CEO's head office in Europe. My role saw me lead the production of all elements of build, audio visual and logistics from Dubai, liaising with the Doha office through to the supervision and delivery of the event and its de-rig in Riyadh.- The Land Rover Mobile Experience at The Dubai International Motorshow 2015. To generate more 4x4 test drives, I managed the build and delivery of a "mobile experience" using two converted shipping containers for hospitality and several vehicle obstacles to showcase vehicle capabilities. This allowed over 2500 people to experience the 4x4 capabilities of the Land Rover range.- #JaguarWorldFirst. One of the most significant and successful events for Jaguar in the MENA region. To launch the new Jaguar F PACE, Jaguar were the first commercial brand to make use of the LED façade on the Burj Khalifa. The event required a spectacular reveal of the car for a private media event. To create this, I managed the build and implementation of 2 motorised reveal moments as well as general event infrastructure which coincided with the end of the LED animation. The following videos offer an insight into the LED show, the event and behind the scenes documenting the build process in time lapse:Behind the scenes: https://goo.gl/kdIhSHThe event: https://goo.gl/zE4I7OThe Burj Khalifa LED show: https://goo.gl/1dhTtU Show less
