Be a Rock Star!
(Received 2009 ICON Award – Best Entertainment Concept and Execution)
Client’s Objective:
How in the world are we going to make a memorable
night for 1,000 guys and keep them entertained?
How CEO met the Client's Objective: Rockstar coaches whisked the VIP ‘wanna-be’s’ to the event and
treated like Rockstars. They arrived amidst cameras flashing by the outrageous
paparazzi, red carpet, muscle bond security guards and tons of screaming fans
shouting and wanting autographs. The guests were greeted at the end of the red
carpet by our Star Team interview crew and videographer capturing customized the
moment which was played back on huge screens for everyone to see on big screens
during the event.
Inside all guests were able to actually have their moment of fame on stage,
playing or singing with the band, dressing up in outrageous costumes, hanging
out in the VIP Lounge and getting tattooed. All guests received a CD of their
performance. Guy food and libations were, of course a necessity for the evening.
Client’s Remarks:
"We did have a blast at the party! I feel that all the extras we had were
definitely worth it, and I would not change a thing. Thank you! It was such a
great time!"
