Corporate Events Support Events For Namuwongo

The first Namuwongo Night will be held at The Brewery in Central London on Tuesday 22nd May 2012, and Corporate Events will be providing the AV production support. It will be a fantastic evening of music and dancing laughter and perhaps some tears, a very exciting auction, celebrity guests and oh... fundraising!

Event industry leaders got together at the Global Event Summit in London, in September, and decided to work together to create an industry cause.

Events for Namuwongo has adopted Namuwongo, a slum community of approximately 20,000 people on the edge of Kampala in Uganda. The community suffers from poverty, polluted water, lack of sanitation and education, and has been ravaged by AIDs and neighboring wars.

It is also a community of hard working, energetic people, striving to solve their own problems and improve their own lives.

Events for Namuwongo subscribes to a view that you can’t help everybody; therefore, you should help somebody properly, and we’ve decided to help Namuwongo until the people of the community can fully participate within Kampala’s economy.

Corporate Events MD, Andy Ashley said “It’s great to be involved with such a great charity and we are pleased to support such a worth cause.”

Corporate Events Welcomes a New Accounts Event Manager to the Team

Corporate Events are very pleased to welcome back Katie Lewis to the team as a key Accounts Event Manager. The role is something Katie was keen to develop and merge into after being an Account Manager since 2003 within the events industry.

Katie started off her working life in publishing for Future Publishing in Bath, where she worked across the large portfolio of magazines on full page advertising sales.

Fast forward to 2003 and the bright lights of events called to Katie, who started her career in the events industry as an Account Manager for an Event Management and Production house based in Bristol. Responsible for bringing in new business and account managing existing business, Katie also very much enjoyed the delivery and on site side of the events, developing and learning over 8 years working across a mixed portfolio of UK and global events.

Katie then started working for Corporate Events as an Account Manager back in 2011, initially with a sales role that developed more into the event management, production and delivery function with a number of clients towards the end of 2011.

With Katie’s’ passion for delivering outstanding client event experiences rather than business development, Corporate Events presented her with a fantastic new opportunity within an Event Manager capacity!

Katie is now responsible for managing and delivering all the events for three of Corporate Events’ key clients. Although a new role for Katie, she has had many years of experience within the events industry and brings both her experience and enthusiasm to the role.

Katie says “I am looking forward to the challenge and delivering my first world class, web streamed event in a few days time!”

How to Create a Successful Product Launch Event

Product launches are simply events where a corporation is releasing a product and they have an event that is open to people outside of the corporation, such as industry press, distribution partners, or current key customers. The purpose of the product launch event is to create visibility for the new product being launched and to initiate a buzz. Buzz marketing is about getting your product noticed by creating an event or experience that will get people talking.

When launching a new product, first impressions are lasting impressions. By engaging key influencers, a well-executed product launch event can build company reputation and enhance consumer understanding. Product launches play a very important role in letting the customers know what new products a company is offering.

Event marketing is a concept that has been employed to ensure that a promotional event achieves the maximum response from the audience. Many product launch events are held in hotels and conference centres as part of major conventions, congresses, tradeshows and roadshows.

Marketing a new product is never an easy task and product launch events are carefully planned marketing tools, designed ultimately to increase revenue in business. An organized product launch event boosts the image of a product, service or establishment. Launches provide a stimulus that encourages the public to action.

Sure, there are a few things to consider when looking at a promoting and launching any major product, but you’ll notice that there are definitely not any “perfect” templates to follow. Sure, you can emulate a variety of different options, but you’ll miss out on the greater good if you don’t take your time to careful dissect the options you see. In order to help others create a longer lasting option,

When deciding how to handle your launch management, you may want to consider employing a product launch team if you want to go big! Corporate events management companies have the experience and expertise to manage every aspect of a products launch, and with previous experience they know the finer details that are often overlooked by companies that try to organise their own product launch event.

Audio Visual Production the Perfect Multimedia Experience

Audio Visual Production is a multimedia visual presentation that can be used as a presentation at a corporate event; awards show production, gala dinner production and other corporate productions. The purpose of an audio visual production is to convey a message to the assembled audience with images, video, and audio. Audio visual productions have not only become popular at corporate events, they have become ‘must haves’.

A company event such as a product launch, AGM, seminar or networking session can stand or fall on the audio visual support you have in place. The effect quality audio visual production can have on how your company or organisation is perceived by potential customers is more than substantial and should be something any aspiring company should always take seriously.

Audio Visual Production allows companies to put on a mind-blowing display using the latest technology. They say that a picture can speak a thousand words, and a well put together audio visual productions can speak volumes about your company, product launch or awards ceremony.

Audio visual productions are not adverts that are shown on a large scale screen, a audio visual production can create an exciting back drop on a stage or can enhance a presentation.

Audio Visual Productions require high tech equipment to deliver the best possible audio visual productions for clients and projects. Audio visual technology is updated and developed; companies that create audio visual productions need to keep ahead of the game with the new technology available. Audio visual technology is changing rapidly and audio visual productions created and delivered with older technology will quickly look outdated.

Audio Visual Production provides the perfect platform to address your event guests and impress them with a brilliantly made visual production.

Corporate Events Welcomes the Latest Addition to the Team

Corporate Events is delighted to announce the appointment of Ben Harrop as Business Development Manager. Ben joins the ever-expanding Swindon based company after one of its most successful years and will be developing a number of large accounts including BP.

After graduating from University with a BA (Hons) in Drama, Ben worked as a professional actor for five years, even managing to sing and juggle whilst on top of a human pyramid in front of 2000 people! If you can do that let’s face you can do more or less anything in life!

After 5 years of treading the boards, Ben decided a change of direction was needed and entered the equally creative arena of the Events Industry.

In his own words he says “I instantly fell in love with the creativity and passion of the events industry” and he has translated that enthusiasm to winning business from some of the largest blue chip corporates in the United Kingdom.

Over the past 10 years Ben has worked with a number of major accounts including BP, KPMG, HSBC, Morgan Stanley, Reuters, RIM, and a host of innovative SME’s. He has also represented a number of top event venues including Madame Tussauds, The National History Museum, and No4 Hamilton Place to name a few.

Ben’s career thus far has led him to work with some of the best agencies and event management companies in the industry, which in turn has given him an extensive knowledge of the industry.

Corporate Events MD Andy Ashley says “Having Ben on board is a key part of our continued growth and development strategy and his experience and enthusiasm adds terrifically to our already strong business expansion team. The exciting thing for me is that he’s not just a sales guy – we’ve had those before but Ben’s a much more rounded and fully developed character who can stand on his own two feet and really will make a difference. He really fits the culture of our business”

The last words go to Ben, who is thrilled to be working for Corporate Events. “Working for a fantastic company with an ethos of providing excellence for our clients and building a long and lasting relationship moving forward is something that I’m very excited about – and want to share that excitement with others”.
