Billboard Music Awards No 1's Official After Party
Mike Brown, VP, Creative Director @ LDJ Productions
As VP, Creative Director at LDJ Productions, I led the team on the successful new business pitch and subsequent partnership with Billboard to envision, design and produce the exclusive and first-ever Billboard Music Awards No. 1's Official After Party event at the Sheats-Goldstein Residence in Los Angeles. LDJ Productions provided turnkey creative production agency services from concept to completion. The highly successful partnership lead to continued collaborations with Billboard in 2023 and 2024.
Following our successful pitch, Billboard selected the Sheats-Goldstein Residence Club James for the event. Beyond the spectacular views, Club James has an integrated state-of-the-art nightclub overlooking the pool terrace. Architects Conner + Perry designed this notable extension to the original landmark residence designed by John Lautner. Images courtesy of Connor + Perry Architects.
We created compelling, light-touch moments with decor and lighting to infuse this remarkable place with the Billboard vision.
Night fell and the venue was ready for guests to arrive.

The Pitch: We leveraged a "how-we-think" approach to demonstrate our effectiveness as partners because venue selection had not yet been confirmed. We focused our initial vision & strategy on our expertise in balancing creative vision with business acumen to help drive meaningful cultural and commercial value. Our successful pitch lead to a remarkable event and an enduring partnership.
