With the new team, Max will also be working with stage designer Es Devlin (multi-award winning designer) and the new creative director Willo Perron (worked with Jay Z, Rihanna and Coldplay). They will be the people behind this event’s success.
Max said: “The BRITs is the UK’s biggest showcase for music talent and one of the most anticipated events in the global entertainment calendar, so to lead the team behind it is both a great honour and an exciting challenge. At its heart, The BRITs is a celebration of creativity so it’s fitting that our first appointments are Es and Willo, both of whom are synonymous with artistic excellence and have collaborated with some of the world’s most exciting and inventive acts.”
