June 06, 2013· · tags: C&IT, corporate event planners, State of the Industry
Just over a quarter (27%) of clients are demanding that agencies prove the ROI of events, according to C&IT’s State of the Industry report.   Published in C&IT’s June print edition, out this week, our research reveals that while a distinct minority – four agency respondents – said that none of their clients asked them to provide financial measurement of their events in 2012, the remainder said that a varying proportion of corporates were asking them for proof of ROI.   Client-side event planners are also increasingly demanding that agencies incorporate social media into their event, with an average 26% of clients asking for platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin to be used before, during and after events.   More than 40% of those corporate event planners surveyed said that they handled more events in 2012 than in 2011.   Source: http://www.citmagazine.com

Dubai is part of the seven emirates of United Arab Emirates (UAE). It has successfully become one of the most famous and sophisticated cities around the world in just a short period of time.   Because Dubai had to diversify its economy in recent years, it rapidly build astonishing hotels, the biggest shopping malls, highest skyscrapers, including the tallest building in the world.   We started intensively to work in Dubai back in 2005. That year our speed painters were highly demanded and were regularly sent out to work at the luxurious hotel resort: Madinat Jumeirah. We then started to be known by a multitude of events management companies and corporate event planners that were asking for our artists and talents.   That’s how we got the pleasure to work in various places such as: Dubai Radisson Blu with our german wheel artist, Jumeirah Beach Hotel with our tennis juggler, Jebel Ali Beach Hotel with our Wow Circus Show, Al Qasr at Madinat Jumeirah with our glue and glitter painter, One&Only Royal Mirage with our golden acrobats, Kasbar Dubai with our Duo Viola, Dubai World Trade Center with our shadow dancers, …   For several years now, we have been […]

These talents agencies are specialized in provided entertainment of all sort not only to corporate events but also to weddings, birthdays, product launches, and all other kind of parties and events.   We very often see entertainment agencies or talents agencies on the web offering corporate entertainment ideas. But what is exactly the difference between corporate entertainers and wedding entertainment or product launch entertainment?
