We do events – in every size, shape and form. Nothing is outside of our event remit, capability or imagination. Our combined client list includes international powerhouses, celebrity music artists, educational institutions and charities.
Between us we have over a decade of experience and have been a part of events in countries & cities across the world including London, Johannesburg, Nairobi and New York.
We believe that every client’s needs are unique, as is every event, and so we will take the time to really get to know you to understand your needs so that we can create an event as unique as you are.
But what makes us really different? Well that would be our innovation. We don’t just think outside of the box, we got rid of the box entirely and will apply this same tenacity to working with you.
For more specific information, view the tabs on the left or get in touch and let’s get going!
How can we use our innovation to enhancve your event? Lets’s find out …
madame blah can cover full logistical management of your event including:
- concept development and creative styling
- event and show production
- catering and décor
- stage management
- PR coordination
- any other aspect you can conjure up for us
If you can conceive it, we can achieve it…and if you can’t, well that’s what we’re here for.
If you are looking for a stand alone or ongoing event concept, we will be happy to conceptualise, design and write a program for an event or series of events to support your brand, cause, charity, or company.
If you need to do something spectacular for whatever reason, but you’re just not sure what, this is where we come in.
madame blah can assist with any aspect of an event that might not traditionally fall under the event management or event conceptualisation categories.
This might mean you require individual but still key aspects such as headline acts, venue finding or budget planning and without necessarily a team to manage your entire event.
In addition to our in-house team, we have long-standing relationships with all our contractors and partnerships with various external suppliers so that we can provide support in any number of ways.
Get in touch with us and together we can create something memorable and fitting to suit your needs.
Not only do we run events, but we can teach you to run events too!
madame blah is a registered AQA training centre, through which we are able to teach a variety of event-related qualifications. madame blah will tailor-make and teach an accredited training package for your organisation, educational institution or similar. This means that we will create a custom made program for your participants culminating in an AQA accredited qualification.
Call us to discuss your training needs.
Also, as part of our ongoing dedication to enrichment we currently require all our volunteers to obtain at least a level one accredited events qualification which we proudly offer free of charge to our own volunteers along with our volunteer training.
We also offer a small variety of non event specific qualifications with scope to expand this further as the need arises.
For more information about how we can offer an AQA accredited qualification to your group please email us with your requirements to info@madameblah.com
madame blah is managed by directors Nadu Placca and Nasiché McKenzie.
Nadu – our madame blah – is a bubbly, OCD people-person who, in addition to the day-to-day running of the company, naturally has a focus on building relationships with clients, suppliers and contractors.
In contrast, Nasiché is a conservative, book-smart introvert who concentrates on supporting the team in the office to make sure that we are delivering effectively.
Two sides of the same coin; this is the ultimate dynamic duo.
Find out more about how this quirky team pull miracles out of the proverbial hat and get in touch today with more information about your event needs.
Nadu Placca is a successful Event Coordinator who, after being head hunted in her final year at university studying Event Management & Music and Media Management, has worked for a plethora of successful event companies and organisations. These include Rising Tide Trust, Continental Drifts and Thames Festival Trust, providing a significant contribution to their event formats and music industry relationships.
Possessing an outstanding track record for planning, managing and teaching events our madame has also provided solutions for branding, design, marketing and programme management. Additionally Nadu has developed expertise toward the production of both commercial and community events. This has culminated in developing a great rapport with many people within both the music and creative industries, from artists and comedians; to agents and management companies.

Nasiché McKenzie was first introduced to the idea of working in the event industry at the Victoria and Albert museum at the tender age of 16, and has been involved in events and marketing throughout her career since.
Following a bold move to South Africa for a six month contract, Nasiché returned to London six years later having worked her way through events for clients such as UNISA, South African Airways and The Coca-Cola Company. Nasiché’s arsenal comprises a multitude of skills in addition to event management, including copywriting, brand development and integrated marketing campaign management.
Having used South Africa as her base to work on the event industry front-line in several different countries, Nasiché has now opted for a comfortable chair at mission control inside the heart of madame blah HQ.

This is where the interaction happens. We will talk about our experiences and give you some of our best real life scenarios, then it’s up to you to tell us what you think. If you can relate to any of our stories, it’s fair to say you’ll fit right in ‘round here.
