Director
Where It All Began
JustSeventy started in 2011. Two people, one shared conviction: events should be remembered for how they felt, not just how they looked.
The early years were lean. Learning by doing, building a reputation one event at a time. As the work grew, so did the team. Today the studio brings together event producers, creative directors, and design specialists, backed by a network of world-class partners built over fifteen years.
The ambition has grown. The founding instinct hasn't. Every event still starts with the same question: what should this feel like?
How It Works
-
One structured session. We document the event, the budget, the decisions, and the boundaries. Everything that follows is built against this. If it's not in the brief, it's not in scope.
-
We establish the visual concept, the aesthetic, and the guest experience from arrival to close. That vision becomes the creative brief every supplier is held to. On the day, we oversee how it comes together: the space, the atmosphere, the details.
-
From day one, every cost is tracked in real time through JSLive. You see the actual position whenever you want it. No surprises at invoice stage.
-
We brief and manage every supplier from a single document, with one point of accountability. Our network is built on track record. When something shifts, we handle it.
-
Every decision is documented. Every approval is captured. What you need comes to you clearly, with context and a recommendation. What doesn't is handled.
-
A dedicated on-site team (director, producers, and crew) each with a defined role and a single chain of command. Every supplier managed. Every moment owned. The run-of-show is confirmed, accountability is named at every stage, and the judgement to adapt in real time is always in the room. Your role on the day: be present.
