What Sleek does

Sleek Events Ltd. is an independent, founder-owned live events and experiential agency headquartered in Wimbledon, London. Founded in 2013 by Jennifer Davidson — who started the business from her bedroom with no external investment — Sleek delivers bespoke live events, brand activations, exhibitions, conferences, product launches, roadshows, and incentive programmes for global enterprise brands. The company serves three primary verticals: global technology companies (AWS, Databricks, Adobe, Wiz, PayPal, Sony, Xero, MongoDB, Dataiku, Amazon Business, Amazon Shipping), luxury automotive brands (Bentley), and premium consumer brands in spirits and lifestyle (Bacardi, Havana Club, Pernod Ricard). Sleek has remained founder-owned and explicitly bootstrapped, with no external capital, citing that independence as a procurement advantage for clients who value aligned incentives.

The company's service portfolio is structured around seven integrated lines delivered as one model: Brand Activations & Exhibitions, Creative Storytelling, Events & Experiences, Graphic Design, Project Management & Logistics, Technical Design & Production, and Sustainability Services. Underlying capabilities include live event production technology, immersive experiential design, real-time 3D environments used as live-rendered prototyping tools for client collaboration, AI-powered event tools such as real-time captioning, and full-site streaming infrastructure. Production scale is demonstrated through the AWS Summit London flagship, which grew from 3,000 to over 22,000 attendees across 70,000 sq m of ExCeL London with 168 sponsors, 289 sessions, 600+ technical specialists and 20+ production managers. Sleek holds ISO 20121:2024 certification for sustainable event management.

Commercially, Sleek operates a bespoke, project-based professional services model with quote-based pricing — no public tiers or self-serve channels — sold directly to enterprise clients through relationship-driven, senior-led field sales. Revenue is generated primarily through long-term, multi-event enterprise relationships rather than transactional volume, exemplified by an 11-year AWS partnership spanning the London Summit and approximately 30 additional EMEA events per year. The company is supported by a managed freelancer talent pool to flex capacity on demand, with named headcount spanning creative, technical, client experience, operations, finance, sustainability and people functions. Operating geographies are primarily EMEA, with the United States identified as an active market.
