Our Story

Founded in 2005, Kru Live was formed to introduce a different set of values to the industry – values that offer a service of excellence to both staff and clients alike; those that make the difference between an ‘okay’ campaign and a ‘fantastic’ campaign. Thorough and detailed briefings, timely and fair pay systems and regular communication are what we believe makes KRU Live stand out from the rest.

In 2013, Kru Talent International was formed. Born out of an increase in client demand for more theatre to be incorporated into live events, we specialise in unique acts, commissioned pieces, performers, celebrity hosts and presenters. Our sweet spot is in large scale immersive events and fan engagement.

In 2014, we launched The Staffing & Entertainment Collective, spanning 34 countries. Recent international activations on the global stage include pan European tours with Reebok, Footlocker, Taylor Swift, Salesforce and PlayStation.

Sodastream

We have worked with the Kru team for over a year now with Oculus and I can honestly say that they are a key part of the team, they are always reliable, easy to get hold of at any time and never come to us with an issue that doesn’t have a solution. The campaign has been managed brilliantly with great staff and coverage from the field team. Not only do they manage and motivate staff well but also come to us with solutions in a professional and timely manner.

Jack Morton Worldwide

“We set Kru Live the very challenging task of delivering a range of ambassadors across a variety of projects, in 13 cities across the UK over a very busy and competitive 6 week event period, and we were very pleased with the results! The Kru Live team became the face of the DHL brand, so selection and training was paramount and we worked well together to make that happen. I was very impressed by the casting days, and the video entries were a really great way for us to be involved with selection which built a level of comfort early on in the process, and their systems made the on the day management much more efficient. Kru Live have become a trusted partner and we continue to collaborate and work with Kru Live on all our current and future events”.
