Meet the agency founders;

Leyton Ede - Founder & Managing Director

Leyton founded LIVE as a way of fulfilling his entrepreneurial*dream of creating a specialist agency that creates and delivers experiential campaigns, especially after being convinced by a client that it would be fun (as well as realising his wife wouldn’t let him retire!)

Having started his career before iPods were invented, Leyton is one of the founding members of the experiential industry. He began his career at iD, where he served 8 years before moving to one of the UK’s leading integrated agencies Billington Cartmell, specifically within Closer, their award winning experiential division.

With a prestigious client list, including: Unilever, Barclays, Barclaycard,Mazda, Green & Blacks, Gu, Panasonic, Carlsberg and Bacardi to name but a few, plus strategic partnerships with agencies such as Elvis, BD Network, Mother, Tequila and TBWA; Leyton has a unique insight into working directly with both brands and agencies to provide an unrivalled offering for all LIVE’s clients.

Loves business, time with his family, films, (can identify most 80’s and 90’s films from a quote alone) and was once the UK’s South West toxophily champion (when he was 12)

*don’t like that word, but for once it works here… PJ?

Kate Stevens - Head of Staffing

Kate heads up the staffing division managing her team of three dedicated project account handlers.


Kate and her team are primarily responsible for the selection, management and motivation of our 5,000 strong Brand Ambassador database; her impeccable standards ensures ‘a no compromise policy’ redefining any industry benchmark.

In her previous role at iD staffing, for 5 years Kate managed the largest, most prestigious retail program in both on/off trade and event program for Philip Morris. So, post ‘giving up’ smoking she has joined LIVE to extend her experience into a new challenge.

From jetting across London on her classic scooter through to the far flung reaches of the globe drinking cocktails, Kate loves and lives life…
