ZOē Productions is a horse of a different color. A creative production agency which focuses 100% of our energy on live experiences – we thrive on the ability to develop creative ideas, understand a client’s brand, strategize how their messaging should be communicated in a live setting, and then directly translate that knowledge into the design and execution of events all over the world.
The capabilities necessary to produce events are often as unique as the projects themselves, each with their own focus, message, requirements, and story to tell. They range from the initial conceptualization, ideation and creative process, to budget development and research, to the planning and management of all event elements (such as design, technical production, content creation, entertainment, food and beverage, staffing, travel, and logistics), straight through to the execution and onsite management of the final experience. See our full list of capabilities. While we fine-tune our scope of services to match each project – there are a few tools and approaches we implement across the board to assure that every experience (both in the pre-production phase and onsite execution) is flawless.
THESE ARE A FEW AREAS ZOē REALLY SHINES:
Concept to Creation
The pre-visualization process is the first step towards creating new worlds for a live event. It is an essential part of ZOe’s production process on two fronts:
Logistics and Operations
Scaled site plans and renderings are crucial for space planning, emergency planning, fire marshal and permit approvals, venue communication, lighting design, and power distribution among other uses. It also gives our team and our clients a sense of how the entire event space will look and feel when it’s fully built-out in both two and three dimensions.
Design
The beauty of a live experience is that design and creative concepts can be expressed in an endless number of forms. The pre-visualization process on the creative end is just as diverse… from napkin sketches to fully developed 3D environments, each iteration helps us assure we are aligned with our client’s vision and is also an essential function of the development an fabrication process.
From the first inklings of an idea, to a vision conceptualized in digital space, it’s always thrilling to see it come to life…
Multimedia Production
Just like a great film – every event has the power to tell a story. With an in-house team versed in film and multimedia production, the ZOe team has the unique ability to share our clients’ stories not only through live experience, but also in the good old fashioned way: on screen. Integrated, custom multimedia has the power to thread visual messaging throughout an event, and also assure that the message reaches beyond the walls of the experience and into the digital world of social media and the web.
Dorothy tells us we need not look further than our own back yard to find what we’re looking for… but so many adventures lie far beyond it! Thankfully, we travel well. A proud band of “cosmopolitan gypsies”, ZOē produces events in every corner of the US as well as internationally. Our core management and design team bring their expertise and experience to every destination while tapping into strong world-wide vendor relationships and integrating local resources in each market. ZOē assures that events across the globe remain on-brand and on-budget, while consistently delivering the highest levels of production value.
Thus far our adventures have taken us to…
In House Floral Design
Although the world of live production often runs around the clock, the team at ZOē Productions most definitely takes time to stop and smell the roses.
With an in-house floral design department, we custom craft the gorgeous greenery and beautiful blooms that are implemented into each event. Rather than merely ordering centerpieces – ZOē designs the floral elements from the ground up, fabricating custom containers and vessels, threading thematic elements through the pieces, and weaving it into the event environments in unexpected places.
With this approach, the floral design not only adds a layer of beauty to a live experience, but can truly be a unique expression of brand’s personality and message.
