Telling a story, engaging emotive response and immersing audiences in a space; everyone talks about it, few do it well. We don’t just use buzz words, we know how to activate. From deep dive discovery sessions structured around a 10 step “but why” process, constant R&D and a finger on the pulse of what is next in tech and experiential on a global scale, we create brand experiences people leave talking about how they were made to feel, not what they saw.

"Gemma was a huge reason why we signed her agency. She was professional, quick to respond, patient, innovative and made us feel, not like one of their clients, but like family. No matter when we called, or what we asked, she was always there with a smile and hopped on assisting us and finding creative solutions when they were required. Anyone would be lucky to have Gemma working for or with them - she is truly amazing!"
Lisa Jennings
Founder @ Wildly Different
"Whilst Gemma took complete control of our event, allowing us to enjoy the whole experience from start to finish, she still ensured that we truly felt involved and that our input mattered. Such event management is rare to find!!"
CEO @ Infinium
Peter Miles
"Gemma developed stand-out creative event solutions whilst adhering to my sometimes very limited time constraints. She worked closely our marketing team she was flexible, dynamic and highly communicative throughout. The results of our events far exceeded our expectations and our business relationships with our clients were strengthened by the environment she created and managed with integrity and attention to detail. Her professional yet personable touch is what stood her head and shoulders above other agencies we had worked with and I would have no hesitation in recommending her highly for anyone in need of professional events management."

After such a breadth of experience within the industry, KOi was founded out of a desire to break away from the constraints working with big agencies can often bring and as so many established creatives move into freelance and fractional work, we capitalise on that for you.
Every project is led by our passionate, creative and personable founder. Leveraging her rich global network. Building unique and agile teams tailored around what and who your unique brief, brand, budget and business actually needs.
Together we collaborate with our community of the best in event creative and technical genius, merging individual strengths into collective brilliance. Providing you with a dynamic, reactive and hyper-personalised teams, transparently and competitively priced.
We are on a mission to think big, but act small.
BE Authentic
Authenticity is the driving force behind how we approach every aspect of our work. No matter what, we are unapologetically, authentically ourselves. We don’t try to fit in, we don’t follow trends, we stand out.
Most importantly, we pride ourselves on creating experiences that feel authentic to you, your business and your audience.
Our Values
SEEk TO Challenge
Nurture
be AgilE
Through an authentic approach we naturally challenge. We believe rules were meant to be broken and we know first hand that the most valuable creative output occurs when we challenge each other to push past the boundaries of limitation and create something utterly unique.
If the answer is no, you are not asking the right person.
These guiding principles are then executed with a sense of Nurture. We nurture each other, we nurture our environment, we nurture ideas, we nurture our clients, we nurture our community of creatives.
We get up every day with an intent to do good in this world.
All of this is underpinned by Agility. The foundational intent of our business, the guiding light we are led by. To always 'BE AGILE’, is the purpose of KOi. We operate without creative confine.
We adapt, we duck, we dive because one thing for certain is change, and we are ready for anything.
Ethos behind all of our work:
Have
Fun
We like to remain hyper aware that we do not save lives. We do not stop wars or decide policy on global issues that affect mankind…. (which is a good job because we wouldn’t be good at any of those things.)
We design and deliver events, and for that we feel such gratitude because we get to call creating unique moments of joy, celebration, human connection, laughter, awe and wonder: ‘WORK’.
We believe in the power of fun and know teams that are having fun, will produce the very best in creative output. Living by this ethos ensures we deliver projects with love and unrivalled dedication because we gain a sense of pure enjoyment & fulfilment from our work.
With 20+ years of experience designing, planning and activating for some of the UK's most thriving SMEs through to world leading brands, Gemma combines creative imagination with precision planning and a personable approach. Leading teams to deliver unforgettable experiences aligned with her client's goals and vision.

Story
MEET GEMMA
more about Gemma
more about GEMMA
After achieving first class honours in fine art and sculpture at St Martins Gemma launched her own restaurant and event venue at 23. From the first rung of her career ladder she has always been fearlessly entrepreneurial, commercially minded and creative.
A natural progression into the world of events began as Gemma sold her restaurant business in her late 20’s and cut her teeth in precision planning and guest experience running a highly sought after private manor house and adjacent award winning pub nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds. Planning and delivering a wide range of prestigious events from PR experiences for big brands, shoot location days and royal birthday parties to corporate festivals and off sites for the likes of Lily Allen, Jamie Dornan and the BBC.
Fast forward a few years and the pull of the big city and big brands gravitated Gemma to London where she transitioned over to agency side. Managing teams in the corporate sector travelling all over the world delivering events for the likes of Merck, Allen & Overy and L’oreal. Following news in 2015 the agency was looking to expand into North America, Gemma successfully secured the promotion as VP North America and emigrated to New York City establishing and scaling the new division.
After 6 years in the role and numerous enviable contracts pitched and won, delivering creative content and event experiences for a huge range of clients from Apple to KPMG, Nike to ViacomCBS, (along with a half English, half American baby boy) Gemma returned to the green grass of home to begin her next chapter, joining the senior leadership team within a full service create agency and technical event production company designing and delivering awe inspiring global projects for LinkedIn, Panasonic and even winning the contract to be one of the few event production companies to be involved in Eurovision 2023 in Liverpool.
