Demi-Leigh Bromfield

A senior experiential and live events producer specialising in large-scale live environments, brand activations and premium guest experiences.

Over the past decade I've delivered projects for global consumer brands including E.L.F., PrettyLittleThing, Bacardi, Hennessy and Spotify, working across Europe, Africa and North America.

I've always been a bit of a "Gatherer" by nature — drawn to food, music, culture and the places where people come together. My work sits in those same environments, translating creative ideas into live experiences that run seamlessly at scale.

Based in Lisbon, I work internationally across live events, brand activations and experiential projects.
