Press Event and Private Conference at BMS for Fruttare (Unilever), hosting Ne-Yo and Cher Lloyd.

Hand it to the folks at Golin Harris and Unilever...They held an elegant VIP press and Branding conference at Bennett Media Studio. It was packed with good food, conversations, clever presentations and seemingly a lot of fun.

It was the main stage for announcing the joint deal with Ne-Yo and Cher Lloyd for their song writing talents embracing the inspirational ideas for the Fruttare Brand...kinda clever actually.

The main area was used in the residential part of the Building, providing a home-like feel to the event. Click HERE to review the article on ArtistDirect.

The house was set on fire and the tickets were sold out TWICE!

Stay tuned for Tech Seri's coming back next month!

Private Dinner with Wine Tasting at BMS

I hosted a wine tasting and a private dinner here at Bennett Media Studio on April 26th, 2011. This event was co-produced by DailyFoodandWine.com and featured wine connoisseur, Alex Elman. She has also created some extraordinary wines. You can see her web site HERE.

Although blind, she has tremendous experience and credentials as an executive in the wine business (Perrier-Jouët Champagne in Epernay, and Sherry Lehman in NY). She now imports small production, hand crafted, artisan wines to the U.S and has her own label of wines. Elman’s wines are honest, focusing on the sustainability of the vineyards where they are produced, as well as truly representing the wine’s terroir.

Today, she travels the world with Hanley, her seeing eye dog, in order to find the best wines that the earth has to offer. Hanley is a good sniffer, but stays away from the wine. Good dog.

For this event, we limited it to 30 people who have a keen interest in wine. Most were press people, wine bloggers, and just wine imbibers ( like me) to mix it up and taste some nice wines. We will be doing some future Video for the wine blog, and a posting here at BMS Studios. This may become a monthly series, particularly during the summer when we can go outdoors on the terrace and eat/BBQ/ and enjoy the early evening weather.

If you want to attend future tastings, please contact us.

BMS presents Counterpoint AfterHours

Here at the studio, I will be hosting "Counterpoint AfterHours" - an evening of new writing curated by Counterpoint Theater Company. Counterpoint Theatre Company is an international collaborative of artists, committed to producing a global exchange of the most innovative new writing as well as bold re-imagined classics. We will feature new short works by some clever and talented writers from London and New York, and live music from our friends, The Vanguard. Watching these guys at a soundcheck session is a real treat..and they thrive in front of a live audience. Sticking with our season's theme of "What's Love Got to Do With It?", we're focusing on crossed wires, gullible lovers and guilty secrets, and asking our writers to respond to the provocative phrase, "I LOVE YOU...I THINK".'

The multi-award winning US/UK lineup includes Counterpoint's Resident Playwright, Bekah Brunstetter (NY Innovative Theatre Award), Lily Bevan (artistic director of the Osip Theatre), Joel Horwood (Cameron Mackintosh Award), Josh Koenigsberg (2010 Playwright in Residence, Urban Arts), Michael Lew (Heidman Award winner), and Morgan Lloyd Malcolm (Smiffie Award Winner).

Bennett Media Studio was the stage for a private Vanessa Carlton concert. It was also a podcast presented in 5.1 surround sound!

JAWBONE presented the CULTURE CATCH MUSIC SALON with MS. VANESSA CARLTON -- an evening of champagne, food, music and smart conversation.

This extraordinary night of music and talk affords a select group of invited VIPs an unprecedented opportunity to discuss in an informal and casual setting the impact of music and the cultural significance it may or may not have on our society. We're looking for the integrity of the musician and their symbiotic relationship with our culture.

Check out the evening by clicking the video below. You can also visit Culture Catch and their article on Ms. Carlton.
