‘I’m going to be the new Joop van den Ende’ – A quote from when I was 14 and which started my journey to Live Legends. From that moment on, I went on a trip of discovering both the creative side and a more business administration side.
As a project manager, it’s my job to find a balance between giving creatives enough space for their artistic vision and staying within time and budget. Sometimes a challenge; finding the right balance between translating the vision of the customer, maximizing our creative vision, but sticking to the budget. However, this also keeps it fun and exciting, making each project unique.
The sector is led by passion: the moment you meet a team or crew, you get swept up in their enthusiasm and love for what they do. And although we work on different aspects of a project, we all have one thing in common: to give the audience the best time possible. My favourite moment in the whole process is the day of the event itself, when everything comes together: the content, the lights, live performance and in the end the audience.
With all the new technologies and quick developments, the world does not need a replica of Joop van den Ende. But I’m really curious to see how I – as myself – will be able to help Live Legends and the sector along. Come and experience it yourself!
