Richard Brook (Divisional Marketing Director Informa PLC) had the vision to make the Event Industry Awards the ‘Go to’ Event of the year for the entire Events Industry in the Middle East. He accomplished this by showcasing global event & Entertainment suppliers. I was a Production Partner for 3 consecutive years. My contribution was the creative conceptualisation and production of the Awards segment of the event, for the Middle East Event Awards 2011, 12 & 13.

VIVA Telecom is owned by Saudi Telecom Communications. My proposal was selected by their Agency Unisono to launch VIVA Telecom which was an activation in 2 prestigious shopping malls in Bahrain, it ran for 6 weeks. The event showcased here, was their B2B event for Viva Enterprise. They invited 170 VVIPS, potential and current clients, investors & media. I produced a 6-minute milestone VT, transformed a colonial ballroom at the Ritz Carlton into a modern event space, using draping, LED panels, carpet & lighting. In addition, Shayma depicted the past present and future for VIVA in a spectacular sand art performance. Nadine Hawa from CNN was the Master of Ceremonies & GDL did the staging, light & sound.

First a Fashion Lounge hosted by celebrity – Joelle Mardinian, a highly acclaimed makeup artiste and beauty expert and James Harris – a womenswear designer and fashion stylist. He was commissioned to create a fashion event with 6 Mannequins wearing “unusual” Fashion made of ordinary material in the colour scheme and design of the Spring/Summer 2013 Designers collection.

Bespoke entertainment, interactive photo solutions and innovative catering proved very popular at the launch event.
