Super Hero Themed Event Makes Money for Sweet Charity

Corporate Events are pleased and proud to have produced this year’s “Candy Ball” at The Park Plaza Westminster on Saturday 28th April, for Sweet Charity – the Charity for the UK Confectionery Industry.

Following on from previous successes, the creative events team at Corporate Events designed and created a unique “Super hero’s” theme for the event that worked over the whole event communications, web site and through to the event experience within the event space at Park Plaza Westminster.

Using the current zeitgeist for all things comic book, the gala dinner production featured a massive bespoke built twin screen set and stage that was designed and created to look like a comic book city skyline, a bespoke animated introduction sting in the style of comic book pages and a number of live acts.

Gala Dinner Production manager Julie Brogan commented, “We were pleased with the look and feel of the event. The way the theme worked throughout all of the client touch points – from web site and printed materials through to the room set décor – all went a long way to creating a solid and cohesive event theme.”

Audio Visual production manager Adrian Toulson adds, “Working at exclusive London venues such as Park Plaza Westminster is always an experience – the shape and scale of the room always needs special consideration for sound and making sure that the audience experience is maximised. Every time we do an award show production or a conference production, we always start with a knowledge base but a clean sheet of paper as well. Each event is unique and needs to be planned accordingly.”

Being one of the first Audio Visual production companies to work within Park Plaza Westminster, Corporate Events has extensive experience in producing large-scale events in this exciting event space.

Corporate Events Launches Tubular Bells Concept for Audio Visual Production Sets

Corporate Events are proud to bring a new and exciting innovation to the Audio Visual Production market, in the form of our exciting new “Tubes” Award show production set.

Utilising an amazing lenticular material fixed to Perspex tubes, lit from within with custom made LED colour changing fixtures, this new set design provides an innovative and different approach to the age old problem of “doing something different” without exceeding budget allowances.

Corporate Events Managing Director Andy Ashley said, “Having been to hundreds of award show productions and park lane awards where star cloth is used to death, it’s really exciting to be able to go back to our clients with a viable and creative events solution that addresses the twin issues of “I want something different” along side “I have less to spend this year”.

“Having spent lots of time in various management meetings with a number of our clients, we went out to the market, sourced and tested a range of materials and now we are really proud to have created our own unique creative events solution that we can offer to our clients, safe in the knowledge that it’s the first time anyone will have seen anything like it.”

Corporate Events has deployed this solution to a number of Award show productions this year, all to great effect.

Tim Christian, Creative Director at Corporate Events adds, “The tube set is something that we are all very close to, having designed it from the ground up. It provides an excellent mix of creativity, audience experience and commercial viability. But, what I consider to be more important, is that it is OUR innovation and our drive that has delivered this to the market, ensuring that once again, Corporate Events provides innovation to our clients.”

A creative event sound more exciting that what the term actually refers to. The word creative event conjures up images of exhilarating and creative entertainment ideas and venues, after all when you are being creative you are using your imagination, which has no limits. In reality, in the industry the phrase ‘creative event’ is a phrase that refers to making an unexciting event more thrilling, or giving an event the ‘wow’ factor.

When a customer goes to an events management service that they want to employ to take over their corporate event, they usually have a few ideas of what they would like to include in the event. Because most companies don’t host events every week, they think of the main aspects of the event, but usually haven’t given much thought to the details of the event. It’s these details that make an event special.

However, when you employ event management specialists you tape into their rescores and their events knowledge. With this resource brings their creative events experience as well as their attention to detail. They listen to the customer’s event ideas, and they suggest tried and tested ideas, entertainment and detail enhancements that adds a little more sugar coating, or a bit more sparkle to the event. Events management teams are always holding events and they have lots of experience of creating events which are tailor made to their customer’s requirements. Because they are managing events every week, they already have a database of entertainment acts, decorations and usually bring to the event great ideas to make the event out of this world.

Corporate events of any kind are laid on by the hosts to entertain and maybe to impress their guests, to network and to raise the companies profile. Having an event that isn’t as good as it could be; has less on an impact on guests. So it is always worth considering a creative event and using an events expert to make your event breath taking and memorable.
