About Us
Creativity as strategy
Dazzle & Fizz is a collective of creatives; passionate about innovation, obsessed with design, and unwavering in our pursuit of the ultimate client experience. Founded in 2013 by Charlotte Melia and Christie-Lee Molgaard, Dazzle & Fizz has grown to become one of the most reputable creative event studios in the industry.
Winners of ‘Creative Entrepreneur of the Year’ 2022 at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, Dazzle & Fizz pioneers an innovative approach to strategic challenges in a creative way, with clear deliverables and tangible outcomes. We deliver creative solutions via strategic consultancy, corporate and private events, residential camps and digital edutainment.

Working with clients year after year requires both consistency and creativity: determined that every event should surpass the last, Christie is driven by the desire to provide Moments of Joy and unexpected delight for clients and their guests, whether at an intimate celebration or global gathering.
Whether overseeing an in-house production team creating everything from props to party bags, or designing an immersive, magical world for a children’s party or acting as brand storyteller for our corporate clients, Christie fully involves herself in every project to make sure that Dazzle & Fizz remains the leader in luxury immersive events ((for UHNW families)) and partner to the world’s leading venues and suppliers.
Leading the development of The Dazzle & Fizz Club App, Christie is heavily focused on children’s mental health. Christie also manages the company’s Corporate Wellness Programme and is passionate about supporting the team’s personal development and wellbeing.
