Every year you plan your corporate Christmas do, and every year the aim is to create something people will look forward to. Something that is relaxed, engaging, special and memorable.

That’s exactly why more companies are choosing to book a live portrait illustrator for their corporate events.

Live portrait illustration is a creative, interactive and special experience for your guests. Combining art and entertainment, crowds will always gather! Live artistry brings people together, brings a bit of magic, and gives people something to keep and share from your event.

Here are four reasons why hiring a live portrait artist for your corporate Christmas party will be one of the best decisions you make this year!

1. Unique and unforgettable experience

Creating bespoke artwork on the spot is about as unique as you can get! Every portrait is unique to the sitter and adds a creative flair to your event. Guests get to experience handmade illustrations of themselves come to life in minutes. I always get so many questions about my approach, materials and technique.

"Our clients were absolutely delighted with their onsite illustrations and the process was made so quick and effortless by Elly who was highly organised and detailed with her illustrations. Many of our clients were happy to be photographed with their illustrations and they felt it was the perfect personalised take-home illustration to remind them of the event and of our company." - Sarah, De Vere Hotels

2. Personalised Keepsake

Personalised keepsake from the event that guests will actually want to keep, and display in their homes or offices! This makes the event unforgettable, as guests carry their experience with them in a personal keepsake. Ditch the tote bags, and give your guests a keepsake they will truly love.

3. Shareable content!

Live illustration is an excellent driver for content from your event! This could be photos of the artwork itself, or content of the artist and behind the scenes. Live portraits provide unexpected, and eye catching social media content.

4. Luxury feeling

Luxury is in the details, and special touches. Live portrait illustrations immediately elevate your event. Live portrait illustration makes your guests feel special, giving them a thoughtful and sophisticated live experience and keepsake.
