know—

We’re the secret weapon behind some of the best artists in the world. Overseeing the entire touring ecosystem, we’re a team of switched-on, heads down consultants who can consult every aspect of a live tour.

We make touring budgets work harder.

LET’S TALK
LIVE TOURING

LET’S TALK LIVE TOURING

It’s difficult to stay ahead of the game when you’re always running to catch up.

In the fast-moving world of live touring you need someone who can stand back, take a breath and look at the big picture and the fine details. We give you the hard facts and the decisive actions that will save you time and money.

LET’S TALK LIVE TOURING

The old ways aren’t always the best ways.

We’re not nostalgic about old school ‘rock n roll’ touring culture and its hangovers so we’re clearing out old practices that don’t suit today’s needs. We take care of the checks and balances on the details to generate sustainable income, lower costs and help reduce the negative impact touring has on the environment.

LET’S TALK LIVE TOURING

When it comes to skills we’ve got to mind the gap.

There’s a shortage of experienced people with the right skills in our industry. People being pressured to make high-level decisions without the benefit of expertise or guidance. We consult with and support your team and identify where skill sets need investment.

LET’S TALK
CONSULTANCY

LET’S TALK CONSULTANCY

We are a like–minded collective, experienced in every aspect of live events. Our hands–on approach to live tour consultancy is based on in–depth research of individual live needs and our deep understanding of the nature of the existing touring ecosystem.

LET’S TALK CONSULTANCY

We are in the picture, but not centre stage. Our job is to make you look good, providing the answers and information you need to make the right choices, while protecting your anonymity and reputation. Our consultants possess an elusive asset, a talent for their niche and trade — and an eye for the unforeseeable before it arrives.

LET’S TALK CONSULTANCY

Now is the time to be progressive within live touring consultancy because no one else is doing it. We come on board with a fresh eye and fresh ideas, seeing things differently from the touring team entrenched in the day to day.

We have no preconceived ideas of what we are going to find and we like it that way, being open to surprises and new discoveries. Always on the move, we easily navigate different worlds and cultures, working remotely or being on hand where and when we are most needed.

We are promoting
disruption

LET’S TALK CONSULTANCY

“We give our clients the tools they need to make informed decisions.”

JP Firmin, Founder & Senior Tour Consultant

LET’S TALK CONSULTANCY

We’re no different to the accepted members of an artist’s team, like an accountant or a legal consultant. What is different is our approach. With a background in building, managing,and delivering the creative vision for some of the biggest touring artists in the world, we manage delicate and intricate relationships with tact and ease.

We thrive on complex projects that need our help, structuring by traditional means, but planning for the impossible. Working with the rhythm and flow of the show and its people to form strategies along the way. Agile and flexible to adapt and change, if one way doesn’t work, we’ll try another.

CLASSIC consultants,
doing it differently

LET’S TALK CONSULTANCY

EACH PROJECT IS BESPOKE. BUT AT OUR CORE WE ARE COMMITTED TO THREE KEY AREAS

We dive deep into the financial and full touring structure and re-align all elements beyond the basics. Providing a clear plan with incentivized target rewards to help keep people accountable and reflective.

It’s hard to get people to think and do things in a different way. We educate the influential members of your production team, so that important information trickles down. Likewise, when there’s a diverse collective at the top, that diversity works its way down.

Sustainable touring is all about looking for even the smallest production and logistical changes which can achieve a balance between economic growth, human well-being, and environmental health.

PROCESS

LET’S TALK PROCESS

The nuts and bolts of the 3-D's consultancy process

Initial meeting to get an idea of your needs and gather some basic insights to perform a feasibility assessment, where we would perform a light touch review over 1—2 weeks, based on preliminary information gathered in our meeting to establish and report which services would be of benefit to you.

After the discovery period and establishing feasibility the next steps would be to gather high level data from your departments to conduct an in-depth overview of your position by analysing your data, we can benchmark you against industry peers and competitors allowing us to create a strategy which will optimise and streamline your operations.

Once we have the full picture from our findings we would like to support your next phase by setting financial targets and actioning the new or revised operational strategy to strike the magic balance between profiting and producing quality productions.
