Case Study – JLA
A design relationship, forged over 14 years and counting.
Dubbed the UK’s leading speaker bureaux, JLA is the specialist agency for speakers, hosts, presenters and performers. You never know who you’re going to bump into visiting JLA’s HQ; we’ve had close encounters with Buzz Aldrin and we’ve run into Sir Ranulph Fiennes! It’s an ever fun and fascinating client to have.
From printed materials to live shows, we’ve been behind their designs for more than 14 years now.
Print, brand development and motion graphics.
The Index
For keynote, after-dinner and motivational speakers, as well as conference presenters, awards hosts and cabaret for industry and public sector events, JLA has an amazing array of talent on their books; and The Index is where we get to show them all off.
We’re currently designing our 13th JLA Index – the booking bible. The annual publication is recognised as the definitive industry guide. It features leading players on all the big issues (Covid-19, Brexit, AI) and we’re always excited to see the latest edition on the coffee table.

The Real Variety Show, Cadagon Hall
We’ve been designing all elements of the annual Real Variety Show for JLA since 2006. Renowned in the entertainment industry, The Stage calls it the “best in the business” for a reason.
The show has become a spectacular launch pad for some of the most exciting new stand-ups, musical comics and visual artistes. Aimed at corporate audiences, JLA puts the spotlight on the very best talent from around the world. They’ve been among the first to showcase future stars like Michael McIntyre, Tom Allen and Tim Minchin.

JLA+ Branding
Ever more relevant in today’s new economy, we’ve helped JLA develop JLA+, an online platform for speakers to make an impact beyond the conference room.
Powered by Zoom, and streamed from JLA's newly opened ‘jLAB’ studio, viewers can interact with inspiring speakers and thought leaders virtually, from their living rooms or home offices.
Subject matter can be anything from life after the Coronavirus; finding motivation to run marathons; innovations in tech; entrepreneurism; or mental health.
It’s about solving challenges and engaging with fascinating speakers. Eddie Izzard (comedian), Brian Cox (physicist) and former MI5 boss, Eliza Manningham-Buller are among the latest.

Feedback
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
