More Than Just an Event: It's a Partnership Built on Principle.

For those who have followed DancingSquirrel - Full Service Creative Agency since its inception, you'll know we were founded on four core principles:

Respect is earned.
Honesty is appreciated.
Trust is gained.
Loyalty is returned.

These values run deep and are fundamental to how we interact with all our partners - that includes our clients and suppliers, and, just as importantly, our full-time and freelance team.

Prioritising Our Crew

Showing appreciation and recognising our onsite team is something we always strive to do. After all, they are the ones who truly pull the event together.

Crew accommodation is a great example. Yes, it might "just be a bed," but if you can't get a good night's sleep and a great breakfast, you're starting the day badly. A huge thank you to the team at the Motel One's Motel One Hotel Antwerp who so brilliantly looked after our crew last week.

Beyond the Conference Room

At this event, we wanted to try something new. We’ve noticed over the years that our crew often flies into a city, transfers straight to the hotel, and sees nothing but the inside of the conference room for the full week. So with the help of the amazing team at Taste-Antwerpen, everyone joined us for a tour of the city followed by a sharing supper at the historic De Rooden Hoed. Our guide was brilliant, and we know a number of the crew are already planning social visits back!

P.S. For those of you who are interested, the photo was taken on the famous wooden escalators in Antwerp dating back to the 1930s, situated in the St. Anna Tunnel beneath the Scheldt River. (See, we did learn something!).

📢 NEW PODCAST EPISODE!

Is Milton Keynes the UK's next corporate events hotspot?

In the latest edition of our podcasts - Mic Drop Moments Amy Robinson sat down with Andrew Kirby from Destination Milton Keynes to explore why MK is fast becoming the go-to location for corporate events, conferences, and exhibitions. You won't want to miss his insights on what makes the city a premier choice.

Why Choose Milton Keynes for Your Next Event?

• Exceptional Connectivity: Easy access via road and rail for delegates nationwide and easy access from numerous airports.

• Venue Variety: From the iconic Stadium MK to unique, modern meeting spaces such as Venue Cranfield, Red Bull's very own MK-7, Bletchley Park and Silverstone

• Accommodation & Amenities: Excellent hotel capacity from a wide range of hotels and world-class leisure facilities - two of our favourite hotels are the beautiful Hotel La Tour Milton Keynes whose Restaurant Fourteen we recently transformed into an amazing after party venue following a corporate awards ceremony at MK-7 and the Leonardo Hotels UK & Ireland to name but two.

Is it any wonder that Universal Studios has chosen the area to open its first European theme park.

In the wonderful world of events when the stakes are high, you can't afford a logistical headache.

For one of our defence sector clients, their annual innovation awards held in Berlin last week was a mission-critical event. Our role was to ensure their in-house communications team could focus on managing key stakeholders and enabling their winners to celebrate in style, instead of coordinating multiple vendors.

As a full-service creative agency, we took on the entire event logistics, technical production, content creation and supplier management. We secured the perfect hotels for accommodation, a stunning venue for the awards ceremony, and another for the after-party. By adding a perfect mix of audio-visual, entertainment, and food and beverage, we created an event where the client's team was free to focus on what they do best.

The result? A seamless, stress-free evening that allowed them to connect with their audience and celebrate their amazing work without worrying about the details.

This is what we call full-service—providing a single point of contact for complex projects so you can focus on the big picture.

Let's discuss how we can simplify your next event.

Beyond the Bid: Why Great Partnerships Drive Great Events

In the fast-paced world of events, it's easy to get caught in a race to the bottom on price. But at Dancing Squirrel, we've learned that the most successful projects aren't built on the cheapest bids — they're built on genuine, trusting relationships.

This holds true for both our clients and our suppliers.

We believe that when you partner with us, you're not just hiring an agency; you're gaining a collaborator. And in turn, we treat our suppliers not as vendors, but as an extension of our creative team.

For our Clients: A strong client partnership means we can dive deeper into your vision, understand your goals, and deliver an event that truly resonates. We're not just executing a brief; we're innovating together to create something unforgettable.

For our Suppliers: When we build long-term relationships with our suppliers, we unlock a world of shared benefits. They bring their own expertise and creative solutions to the table, helping us push boundaries and solve challenges with a level of trust that a one-off transaction can't match.

Great work isn't about chasing the lowest cost. It's about investing in the people who help bring your vision to life.

Let's start a conversation about what we can create together.
