Why?
I’m Will Glendinning, I’ve helped some of the best known brands in the world: Coke, UEFA, Samsung and Ford, to name but a few, along with the Olympic Games, Tour de France, military ceremonies and cultural festivals.
I discovered the power of my own creativity and live events at an early age. Which pretty much rescued me from a life of mediocrity and almost certain obscurity!
I love anything live and I’ve been involved with and responsible for some of the largest and most complex live events in recent history. I’m an author, speaker, media commentator and have even had my work praised in Parliament.
I’m the expert the experts turn to.

Some Background
I’ve worked for, run and now own high profile live event organisations. I started my career at Imagination, one of the most respected event and design agencies in the world. I then moved to Innovision becoming their Managing Director during a period of rapid growth.
In 2008 I founded Allium to help you easily commission, create and develop live events that leave your audience feeling moved. Moved to buy more of your stuff if you’re marketing, moved to take action or think differently if you’re communicating or moved by mind blowing entertainment if you’re entertaining.
Throughout all of this, almost 20 years now, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with and help some amazing brands and organisations, such as: Ford, UEFA, Samsung, LOCOG, Ministry of Defence, RBS, Barclays, BT, Mayor of London, British Rowing, NTT DoCoMo, DCMS, UK Sport, Vertu, Durex, The Royal Navy, IMG, Coca Cola, Ericsson, Suzuki, The FA, British Triathlon Federation, London & Partners, George P Johnson and Aston Martin.
