Having worked together as a creative team for over 2 years for worldwide market leading clients such as Google, McDonalds, YouTube, NRMA & Schering Plough, Mark and Anthony saw an opportunity to create a company that delivered more innovative live events for clients wanting to emotionally connect with their audiences. From this, the SENSE approach and unique business model was formed.
