Attachment MD Emma Shuldham said, “Live has been a foundational part of what Attachment has grown into as a culture agency and we’re now in a fantastic growth phase; we’re established in the sector but we needed someone to come in to help build and take it to the next level. Whether it’s programming for beaches at the Cannes Lions Festival, booking conferences in Germany or securing Becky Hill to play to 20,000 people in Dubai, the breadth of what we do requires a specialist who really knows the landscape.”
