A Live Event Production Company Built for the World's Most Demanding Brands
IDEKO produces live events of every scale and format for global brands. One integrated team manages the full production process from concept through strike.
Live Events Are Unforgiving. Your Production Company Should Not Be.
A live event has no second take. When the lights go up, everything is either working or it is not, and the people in that space are forming an opinion about your brand in real time.
IDEKO is a live event production company that works with global brands across every major event format. We manage the complete production process under one roof. Technical operations, site logistics, permitting, fabrication, and on-site execution handled by one accountable team.
We have produced live events for Nike, SKIMS, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Red Bull, and Waterdrop across some of the most demanding event environments in the country. That experience informs everything we do.
Live Event Production Services
Technical Direction and Operations
Every live event is a system of interdependent components. We manage the full technical picture from the earliest planning stages so everything holds together on the day.
Sound, Lighting, and Staging
We spec, source, and oversee audio systems, lighting design, and staging configurations for every event format and scale, built to the specific requirements of the environment and the brand.
Large Scale Video and Live Broadcasting
LED walls, projection mapping, broadcast quality video capture, real time graphics, and live streaming. We manage large format video production for brands that need their event to perform for in-person and remote audiences simultaneously.
Safety, Security, and Crowd Management
We develop crowd density plans, coordinate with private security teams, and build health and safety protocols into the production schedule from day one.
Talent and VIP Management
For live events with talent appearances, performers, or tiered guest experiences, we manage the full hospitality and logistics infrastructure alongside the broader production.
Site Planning and Operations
Load-in sequencing, vendor access, crowd flow, emergency egress, and strike coordination. Our operations team manages every layer of site logistics so the production runs without interruption.
Permitting and Regulatory Compliance
We have managed permit processes across some of the most complex event environments in the country. We know how these processes work and we manage them from the beginning of the project, not the week before the event.
Custom Fabrication
When the live event requires a physical build that does not exist off the shelf, we produce it. Custom stages, branded environments, scenic structures, and large format installations, all built and tested before they reach the site.

Why the Production Company You Choose Determines the Outcome
One Accountable Team
When production is fragmented across separate vendors, accountability disappears at the handoff points. At IDEKO, one team is responsible for every layer of the production. We own the result.
Owner Operated
The people running your event are the people who built this company. When a judgment call needs to be made at 4 a.m. on event day, the person making it has their name on the door.
Experience at the Level Your Event Demands
We have produced events at every scale and format. Our clients benefit from that range of experience on every project regardless of scope.
Integration Between Strategy and Production
The best live events are built around a clear brand story that every production decision reinforces. We work with brands from the concept stage, making sure the production serves the strategy.
Proven in the Most Demanding Live Event Environment in the Country
New York City is where we built our production capabilities. More than 15 major live events produced across Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Terminal, Lincoln Center, and Brooklyn Bridge Park. The institutional knowledge and relationships we have built here travel with us to every project nationally.
Production and Experiential Strategy Working Together
Production is the infrastructure. Experiential strategy is what gives the event meaning. At IDEKO both teams work as one from day one. That is how we deliver events that are creatively compelling and operationally flawless.

-
For large scale live events involving public spaces, permits, or custom fabrication, a minimum of three to six months of lead time is advisable. We are straightforward about timeline requirements from the first conversation.
-
Timeline depends on the complexity of the build and the permitting requirements of the location. For activations in New York City's public spaces, permitting alone can require several months of lead time. For most brand activations at this level, we recommend engaging a production partner at least three to six months before your target activation date.
-
Yes. While New York City is our headquarters and where much of our work is concentrated, we produce live events nationally.
