Delme Thomas

Experiential Storyteller

 
 

I recently completed an MA in Events & Experiences Management at Goldsmiths University, where I achieved Distinction and was awarded The Gold Award.

Everything I do is centred around stories, and I work with people across various fields. I help create events and craft experiences, from live productions to video games to immersive audio experiences.

With a 14-year background in the arts as an actor, writer and maker, I bring the indispensable skills I have developed within that world to the experiential space. That creativity, combined with the practical skills learnt in my MA, gives me a multi-layered skillset. My interests cross the borders of world-building, immersion, and elements of play within transformative experiences that transport people from their everyday lives.

 
 
 
 

Background

I'm a multi-award-winning creative who has worked worldwide, including the West End and Off-Broadway. I am an Associate Artist with Fast Familiar, a digital studio that creates ‘audience-centric’ experiences. Together, we have devised and co-written a host of experiences, from interactive video games to audio walks and research tools.

In 2022, I worked at Lush’s Global Flagship Store on Oxford Street as a Supervisor and part of the In-Store Events team. The events I curated for the store were unique, immersive experiences designed to captivate the customers with a high level of interactivity. Notably, I designed and led a highly successful not-for-profit ‘London Pride’ weekend-long experience, as well as a month-long ‘Plastic-Free July’ celebration that led to a 13.93% increase in gross profit of 'naked products' from the previous year, with a 15% increase in sales of units.

He has a knack of building instant rapport with people - whether they are 11 year olds co-designing a game or elected Council Members reviewing environmental policy. His easy, friendly manner engenders trust and confidence. He is analytical without ever making other people feel defensive or lacking. He is one of the most consistently professional people I have ever had the pleasure of working with, always calm under pressure, punctual and well-prepared. He is the person you want on-hand in a crisis - or more likely, the person who will stop a crisis from happening./  Rachel Briscoe, Fast Familiar  /
