A reason to connect

The right people.
An idea worth coming together for.

Culture

Arts, heritage and creative communities, brought to new audiences through thoughtful programming and partnerships.

02

Entertainment

Live experiences, launches and audience-led programmes, with a clear idea running from the first invitation to the final moment.

Vivek Menon, founder of Surprise Ventures

Independent in spirit. Personal in approach.

Creative instinct.
A producer’s
attention to detail.

Led by Vivek Menon, Surprise Ventures brings together creative thinking, relationships and the practical discipline of producing an experience. Every brief starts with a conversation about what you want people to feel — and what the work needs to achieve.

Connect the pieces.

A clear concept, the right collaborators and a practical plan for bringing the experience together.

Production, guest experience, communications and delivery, considered as parts of the same story.
