As well as delivering the front-end of an event, we are also the perfect partner to look after the build, management and production requirements. Our experience of over 1500 events of varying sizes and in all kinds of environments makes us an ideal partner to manage your entire event.  Our experience ranges from weddings to festival sites, PR and brand activation projects, conferences and roadshows. 

This means we understand the vital importance of balance between aesthetics, budget, deadlines, marketing and client relationships.

Our access to equipment and skills means that we can easily deliver componements such as:

  • custom set build

                spacer


The key benefits to using HTB Live as your event management company are:

Experience            
Our experience means we can give you the right advice and pre-empt any difficulties to ensure smooth delivery.

Continuity
As inevitably we will be looking after the front end of the project, we can easily ensure that everything ties together.

Full-time Staff
       
Your point of contact and support team are all employed on a full-time basis, which that you receive a smooth service throughout.

Efficient Admin    
This is something you would only notice if it didn't exist. This means we deliver what we say we are going to deliver.

Back-up Support   
As we have access to such a wide range of equipment and resources on demand you have immense backup support from us.

Value For Money  
Our tight relationships with our equipment partners means that we can offer more for your budget.

Fixed-Budget Project Pricing
In most cases, we can accept full responsibility for delivery of a complete event objective within a fixed project price.  This means that you don't need to worry about, or be billed for, minor variations that happen along the way.  We have found this is crucial when working with agencies, PR companies etc.

 
 

Please get in touch with us if you have a project that you would like to brief us on. 

                                                      BRAND ACTIVATION

We specialise in three key formats to activate a brand:


Pop Ups


Pop-up bars are a very popular way of activating a brand. Using our expertise, experience and in-house teams we can work with you to conceptualise a theme and then to build, manage, run, market and produce the event. This could range from venue finding to providing front of house staff and running social media campaigns to generate interest.

Urban Beaches

Creating and building urban beaches is a unique way to speak to and be seen by the people you want to target in the most memorable way. Urban beaches generate a huge amount of good will and pedestrian interest.  They are visually spectacular, act as a magnet for people of all ages and lend themselves to a whole host of activities - everything from sandcastle building, live music, beach bars and the latest fashions to simply relaxing on a deck chair with a cold drink whilst the kids tire themselves out in the sand. 

We will take care of

  •  designing, building and delivering urban beaches managing events & promotions on sand
  •  sourcing, understanding and working in the world's finest and most suitable locations
  •  staging world class beach sports, music & entertainment events 
  •  bespoke sponsorship activations focused on beach culture

                                                      DRINK DESIGN                                               

Our mixologists at Hire The Barman are able to design beautifully balanced, original cocktails around a brief that you provide.

Our cocktails can deliver on virtually anything you desire - from a simple twist on a classic through to inventive molecular concepts and drinks with obscure and involved ingredients. We strive to create drinks that focus around the feel and identity of your event or brand. 

Each recipe we design is carefully created with the tastes, aromas and feel of your brand in mind. We won't just send you a few recipes which we thought up sat at a desk - we have a fully-functional bar in our office where we sample and experiment to select the best flavour pairings. Sharing an office with a group of people who work within the drinks industry means we can 'sample' our recipes and get instant feedback even before an official tasting is organised. 

                   spacer

As part of our drinks design we can include: 

  • cocktail designs based on your brief
  • photography of cocktails 
  • videography and 'How To Make' clips
  • social media campaigns to raise awareness
  • tasting sessions of drinks using one of our barmen


spacer   spacer   spacer   spacer

Examples of recent projects, photographed above, are:

  • a promotional cocktail booklet designed for Ramsey Rum UK
  • molecular cocktails designed for a Red Bull event
  • cocktails designed and 'how to make' videography delivered for Lubuski
  • cider cocktails designed for Rekorderlig for a recent pop-up event

                                                      CASE STUDIES                                               

Here are a few of the more recent projects undertaken by HTB Live:


Rekorderlig Mid-Summer House Pop-Up

Rekorderlig Swedish Cider held their thirteen day pop-up Mid-Summer House in the Victoria Park, East London that took place in July 2013. The pop-up consisted of a 6 metre bar being placed inside a custom built replica of a tradtional Swedish mid-summer house. The house had a large decking area stretching out from the back over the lake. HTB Live had the privilege of executing the entire operation. 

Our team took responsibility in relation to every aspect of the bar including:

  • Staffing
  • Upholding licensing laws
  • Stock control and management
  • Bespoke cocktail recipe design
  • Providing all bar, refrigeration and BOH equipment

IceTank Studio Launch

The amazing IceTank studios invited HTB Live along to their launch party to create cocktails to wow their guests. We teamed up with the guys at Stolichnaya Vodka and created two cocktails including:

  • Lemon Drop: Stolichnaya vodka, fresh lemon juice and a dash of homemade lemon peel infused sugar syrup
  • Smoked Apple Pie: Stolichnaya Gala Applik vodka, apple juice, fresh lime juice and apple pie syrup topped with a smoking ChilliStick

We also took down one of our LED lit mobile bars with branded front panels and all of our own cocktail making equipment.

Animal Art Fair / Angus Lawson Memorial Trust

Hire The Barman brought our mobile bar and cocktail skills along to the Animal Art Fair pop-up shop on London's Southbank. We spent the evening serving Paloma cocktails using fresh lime juice, Cabrito tequila and sparkling pink grapefruit juice.

The art fair was selling portraits of animals including one-off pieces painted by Miranda Hart, Clare Balding and Rachel Riley.

Isle of Wight Festival 'Life's A Beach"

HTB Live set up camp at the Isle of Wight festival on our very own urban beach. We teamed up with BoxFresh to bring the festival-goers a music stage, deckchairs to relax in and plenty of stunning cocktails.

With our custom built cocktail 'shack' built on our private beach we were one of the highlights of the festival, handing out over 8,000 mojitos and slushy cocktails in just three days!

Cadbury Olympic Hotel

As one of the biggest sponsors of the greatest sporting event on Earth, Cadburys took over a hotel in Central London to house their multi-national team of volunteers. Every day of the 2012 Olympics, Hire The Barman ran a cocktail bar at the hotel serving the many volunteers after their long day's work. 

Hire The Barman hosted a party for over three hundred people every three days, for which we set up an outdoor bar. One of our main 'attractions' was a molecular  egg which saw us cut the top off and hollow out one thousand Cadbury Creme Eggs and refill them with a coconut puree gel topped with a Fireball whisky and mango puree spherified 'yolk'.
