Not your ordinary Awards Event


One of our clients does an annual awards event for their top sales people. This is always a 'show' that is more than talking heads giving out awards.

We start with meeting with the client to learn what the "message" is they want to get across to their guests. This year our message would be strong, stable, resilient. After pitching a couple of different concepts the client settled on our Great Pyramids concept; symbols of strength, stability, and resilience. We wanted to drive that message home and brought historical figures to life and used their words to inspire.

For the first time in history Vince Lombardi, Abe Lincoln, and Winston Churchill were on the stage together empowering with their words.

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." - Vince Lombardi

"Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not, I can say for one that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem... I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end." - Abraham Lincoln

"You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Those people who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist; certainly many more than will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that extra courage to carry this far-reaching imagination... Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in." - Winston Churchill
