Corporate event and entertainment

In the last 15 years, around $500 Billion has been spent throughout the globe on the event planner, the design and glamour that goes with providing something unique that will have people talking. Who doesn’t love a party or to be entertained, being part of something you wouldn’t do every day? The participation in any planned company event brings with it the sense of reward for a job well done, it motivates and builds teams, forges bonds between people, or it shows how much you care for your little girl or your husband by planning a special event just for them.

As far as planning your next private or corporate event goes, there is one side of the industry that has been booming in recent times, and that is live entertainment. The increase that event planning agencies have seen currently looking for circus acts, artistic agencies and show agencies are shining a bright light back on the, acrobat, the illusionist and the ring master, centre stage once more. The diversity and choice that this particular industry offers is second to none, from the most talented animals from around the world, to singers, comedy and even the old favourite, the clown.

This is now showing up in the amount of corporate and private events enquires being made, that is up by 27% over the last 3 years and bookings up almost 15%, with casino and poker nights being hardest hit. There is something to be said for being truly entertained by others who provide unique talent and something fresh. Individuals and companies alike are now looking towards people with raw talent, which are providing a range of top quality entertainment shows for all ages. It’s all about engaging with people and each other.
There is no better way to build that brand new team of marketers or your online sales team than a dance event were everyone has to get involved. Not only will they be learning something new and exciting with a new group of people, but just having this new and exciting experience that will bring back nothing but positive memories.

The influence that television talent shows have had on the masses, has led to the difference in entertainment styles and wants over the last number of years. Magic and circus acts are among the more prevalent movers and shakers, making a comeback as the public begins to remember what they lost from their childhood. These art forms combine sheer brilliance, mystery and unique talent and put on display how much fun it truly is to be a part of.

It stands to reason that when you are organising your next event, the event planner you use will not only be able to take the stress out of trying to plan this yourself, but will be able to provide you with an ever increasing amount of entertainment agencies offering a huge range of acts. Even if your next event is a children’s birthday party, your planner will have all sorts of show agencies and circus acts at their fingertips that will not only gift your child with the most special day on their calendar, but I guarantee will unlock the lost childhood memories.
