About us

# Engaging people since 1996.

Purple Monster began in 1996 as a creative training company, moved into corporate leadership events, and is now firmly at home in virtual and hybrid event production. A Midlands company with global customers, and a purpose built broadcast studio in Warwick.

What we do

## Three strands, one purpose.

Everything we make is about helping organisations communicate, engage and connect their people.

IN PERSON

### Face to face conferences and workshops

Designing events for large corporate clients that entertain, engage and inspire, in the room and in the moment.

ON AIR

### Virtual and hybrid events

Live streamed meetings, town halls and conferences run from our green screen, connecting locations around the world.

ON SCREEN

### Video and Communications

Films, animations and all visual that helps lift content from the page to the screen.

How we are

## Lightness, laughter and serious intent.

One of our values is that we bring lightness and laughter to all of our work. But we also make sure the serious intent behind your messages is never lost. Thankfully, this makes us nice people to work with! Founded by Alan Heap, we are a small team with a big freelance family around us, so we scale to the size of your event without losing the warmth.

Meet the Monsters

## The team behind the screen.

Left and right brained individuals, all with our own personalities, interests and sources of inspiration.
