What do we do?

Lightning is a full service event strategy, design and delivery agency who love nothing more than bringing exceptional events and experiences to life. We produce a broad variety of events from intimate to large-scale (100,000+), including festivals, fundraisers, concerts, expos, black tie functions, active participation experiences, brand activations, intimate gatherings, community events and award nights.

Lightnings’ success is built on a wealth of experience, creativity, powerful networks and a ‘can do’, ‘do what it takes’ attitude.

Whether you require full event management, or just have some specific resource or skill gaps to plug for your next event, the Lightning team are here to support you to achieve your objectives through the design and delivery of world-class event experiences for your community, clients, staff or stakeholders. Clients appreciate our creativity, attention to detail, and our flair for handling fast turnarounds and unusual requests. Whatever your objectives, we deliver events on-time, on-message and on-budget.
