40 Years of Success translated into a Decades Show

For the past 6 or so years we've worked with a client on their annual Sales Awards event. Bob is a creative guy and is always game for just about anything, which makes working with him and his team really fun. The event is in February and usually around September we start brainstorming ideas. We start with what his message will be to the company and use that to drive the concept.

This year the company was celebrating their 40th year and took a look back to what they had that made them successful - what was their mojo?  Although I avoid doing themes that are overused, a decades concept worked in this particular case. But we had to make it unique.




The show is tied into lunch, so we use the stage set as a focal point to the room but also make sure the guest tables look great and bring the theme/brand together. As lunch was wrapping up we got guests energized with an interactive team approach to a trivia game - pitting competitive people against each other is a sure way to get the room pumped up. Our 70's era game show host and lovely assistance kicked things off.


Then we had professional dancers perform an upbeat dance montage to songs that most anyone in the audience should recognize. Guests were up and dancing by the end - now we're ready to begin the show.
