Active Production and Design  for  Best AV Design!!
 
March 15th was a great night for the Active team.  John Fox graciously accepted the 2009 ISES Allie award on behalf of Active and thanked Matt Clouser for allowing him the opportunity to grow with the company. In this category, Active Production and Design beat out none other than... Active Production and Design!! Competition doesn't get any tougher than that. ; )
 Check out video from the exciting event in which Active was a Diamond sponsor providing lighting and set design.

See Active Productions  in this newsletter for  details on the show that nabbed us the trophy.
  
Congratulations to all the 2009 nominees and winners, with a special shot out to Active partner, Opera Event Center winner in the category of Best Buffet/Reception Menu! Way to go guys!

If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?  If you said Pilgrims then you are still thinking inside the box. It's that time to  clean out the clutter   "boxed" up from yester-year and start fresh. That is the approach we here at Active are taking. We are bringing you fresh ideas to help jump start your meeting success! (Check out Active On The Edge). Join us as we rejuvenate our industry!
 
So what do May flowers bring?...A smile to mothers everywhere... on the second Sunday! 
 Another helpful hint from Active   :-)
 
Happy Spring!

Active at the Aquarium
 
Thaaaar She Blows!!                        
                                                                                  
This was an awesome event produced at the Georgia Aquarium. "This was team effort at its finest", Matt Todd, Account Executive for the Georgia Aquarium,  said regarding the production of this gala for a human resource data processing corporation.  "Everyone from catering and decor, to our production team worked together seamlessly and it showed in the final product". The theme of the reception "Explore The Possibilities" centered around pirates and the mighty seas. Huge masts, sails and nets were rigged in the Oceans Ballroom.  Skull and anchor gobos lit up the walls throughout the rotunda and the ballroom  and added to the ambiance of the evening. The  L.E.D.  lighting effect on the ceiling morphed from ocean blue to an orange-red sunset effect adding to the  look as well. The  stage set designed to resemble a pirate ship, was a great backdrop for the entertainment who had the guests ready to shake their  nautical "booty".

2009  ISES Allie Award Winner!!
                             
 
John Fox is the mastermind behind the  AV design that won Active the 2009 Allie Award for Best AV Design. This event was built from the ground up...literally. The Georgia Plant Ground Breaking Ceremony was designed on top of a dirt field that will soon be the site for a $225 million dollar tire manufacturing facility. Our team constructed two tents,  rigged and powered all the lighting, video and audio.We  rolled out the red carpet for the corporate big wigs and government dignataries that were in attendance. (No we really did, see above picture. )
 
This plant will bring 100's of jobs to Georgia and help to stimulate our economy. I guess you could say that  this was Active's way of contributing to the  economic stimulus plan.  See,  everyone can help. ;-)
 
 
 
Active Partners with Atlanta AMA
 
The Fabulous Fox Theatre was the setting for this year's  American Marketing Association AMY Awards.  Over 300 guests gathered to honor the best and brightest marketers in Atlanta and surrounding areas. With so much creative mind power in one room, it is only natural that this group partner with another creative power house to ensure a successful show.  Active was honored to produce the event for the 4th largest chapter in the nation.  We'd like to congratulate Truett Cathy of Chick-Fil-A for being awarded the Lifetime Acheivement Award .
